Kamen Rider The First: It's my break between shows so I figured I can get some more movies out of the way between it. I really loved this movie, it was fantastic. I really enjoyed this version of Hongo a lot, he was extremely relatable in this movie with his quiet disposition and how he wanted Asuka to hate him rather to help her out, I really love this Hongo. It got quick to him being turned into the Kamen Rider which was great and quick to him breaking free of being evil too. I loved that part a lot, that it was the beauty of the snow, the water crystals that he has a passion for that broke him free of the mind control not just the love of the woman he cares for. I thought that was just a fantastic scene. This movie was masterful with it's combat Hongo and Ichimonji were both insanely kickass it was unbelievable. This had the motorcycle fights that Kamen Rider definitely needed to have somewhere, that was so freaking cool and amazing. Hayato was different than what I was expecting reminded me a lot of Otoya from Kiva but it was very good and I think it worked well to balance off of Hongo who quiet and reserved with Ichimonji's outspoken and charming personality. I think that the Miyoko and Haruhiko's back story sub plot felt very unneeded I mean yes I felt sympathy for them and there stories however it didn't feel like we needed to really care about these characters if there wasn't going to be more to them. I still liked them though. Though that is really messed up what Shocker did to Hayato though and to all of these people they transformed. This was a very good Kamen Rider movie, this was a great martial arts movie, this was a great superhero movie, just probably not the best modernization of the original series but I am not sure since I haven't seen it. Still this was one of my favorite Kamen Rider movies and can't wait to see The Next.
