[Actar]

I personally loved this film! I can get that Kiba's turn felt a little forced and contrived, but I think that they had to make some concessions in order to fit the series' plot in a single movie format.

One of the reasons I loved the film so much is that it really is a microcosm of all the good parts of the series. The rather thin plot is trimmed of all the fat, and the new scenario allows the characters to focus on the important stuff, interaction, introspection and the exploration of morality. And of course action. We seriously have everything. Aside from the sad lack of Delta, I do believe we get almost all of their various abilities featured.

Some of my favorite standout moments:

- The Faiz Gear and Auto Vajin being hidden in junk.
- Faiz Axel taking out a crap ton of Riotroopers with the Axel Crimson Smash.
- Kamen Rider Psyga being the first(?) English-speaking Rider.
- Faiz smoothly tossing aside the Edge, only for Mari to pick it up later.
- The fact that this movie held the record for the largest number of extras in a film for quite a long period of time - all of their names appearing in the credits.
- The gorgeous aerial shot of the stadium with Faiz Blaster's energy erupting from the sides.
