Team Card, obviously! From the Rider side alone you've got the OP-as-all-hell Odin, the infinite possibilities of Decade, and the STRONGEST RIDER. What team could possibly top that?

It's a movie that feels every second of its runtime, that's for sure. Like all Taisen movies, I guess, we're given quantity over quality, at an almost design level. While Hiiro's story exists to give the film some stakes... it's also a thing that the movie only ever seems to remember to touch on sporadically. We'll get these huge fight scenes against the Jark Matter army or Shocker, and then it's like Oh Right Eito Is Still Trapped In Purgatory. Not a great film for making the action serve the story!

I mean, I think it's worth watching if you want to see Hiiro go on a little journey of redemption (he only punches Emu in the face once for being emotional), but it's hardly required viewing. I don't really care much about the Animal Teens or the Constellation Club (just zero ability to remember Sentai team names, sorry), but I don't think they're a very big focus of the story.

Like, I don't think this is a crossover film worth avoiding (Drive/Ghost), but it's also fine to skip.
