I have to say it was a lot better than the Zangetsu/Baron movies, and those were still very good.

Duke's Movie:
- First thing's first: I'll probably never look at pomegranates the same or even eat them for that matter. You'll see what I mean when you watch it lol.

- I know there is debate on what is considered "dark" on this board, but watch this movie and tell me otherwise, again you'll see what I mean.

- It was nice to see some flashbacks of how Ryoma met his fellow Energy Riders. With that being said, I feel like there's no need for Yoko or Sid to get their own movies (as much as I'd love them to) because in these flashbacks, we see what kind of people they were before becoming Riders. Unless they think of a good story, otherwise it would be redundant. I liked Sid's flashback because it pretty much is in line with his motivation to get the Golden Fruit in the series.

Knuckle's Movie:
- Takes place after the events of Movie Wars: Full Throttle

- We get more flashbacks such as how Team Gaim and Team Baron first crossed paths, how Kaito became leader, etc.

- We get cameos from our favorite secondary Rider characters who just happen to appear in the nick of time.

- I never liked the design of Maron Arms, and after seeing it in action I still don't like it.

- Seems Neo Baron is some kind of Fight Club

- The civilian and Rider fight scenes were very brutal but Zack really got to hold his own (surprisingly), and in the process we get flashbacks of Zack and his life before Team Baron.

- There is a specific scene between Zack and Peko that I know you crazy shippers are gonna blow way out of proportion. That scene is more of a brotherly love and they make it obvious that Zack and Azami (Peko's sister) have feelings for each other.

All in all 2 very good movies, can't wait to see what they do with Gaim Gaiden 3. Plus the song "Dance with Me" is absolutely great.
