My thoughts exactly. I'd accuse Rider of ripping off the concept, but considering how amazing Superior 8 Ultra Brothers was, copying it might not be a bad thing.

I have a way better feeling about this movie then the usual big crossover films. I think even just from the trailers for stuff like Chou Super Hero Taisen you could tell they didn't have anything to offer besides "here's some suits you recognize", but here they actually tried to sell a story. I mean, that narration is not joking around.

It remains to be seen how well they execute that story (there's a huge risk of this type of plot coming off as overly self-indulgent), but I'm pretty sure they're at least trying this time. The previous Heisei Generations films were both excellent (although I didn't enjoy Final nearly as much as the first), so there's reason to be optimistic. Between those movies, the Rider 1 film, and Zi-O making a point to grab as many guest stars as possible, I think it's pretty clear Toei has stepped up their game lately when it comes to handling legacy stuff like this.
