(Fish Sandwich also watched Kamen Rider Zi-O Next Time: Geiz, Majesty)
...Props for not forgetting that comma in the title by the way, Die!
Anyway, yeah, "total home run" is about right.
Easily
one of the best V-Cinemas Rider has ever had. If you told me it was the absolute best, even, I wouldn't try and argue that much. As soon as I watched it, it immediately became a Specter-level favorite for me. The crazy thing is, and I mention this in that old post, but
it doesn't even have anything to do with it being about Geiz?
Part of the appeal of the film should've been that simple factor of "finally, my favorite guy in his own movie!", but the quality of the final product is so high it just sorta blows right past that kind of thinking. I was so genuinely drawn into the emotions of the story that I feel like I could've hated Geiz the entire series and still loved this movie, if that makes any sense. (Not that it ever makes to sense to hate Geiz, when he's so awesome!)
It probably shouldn't be any surprise then, that Geiz, Majesty was also tied with Over Quartzer (a film you might recall I also think is at the top of the top!) when I was picking my favorite toku movie of 2020, so as a bonus, here's what I had to say about it then:

You don't even see Geiz transform once until two thirds of the way into the runtime, and that shows a faith in the story it was telling. Very well-placed faith, as far as I'm concerned, too. Mouri's script does a wonderful job digging into the emotions of Geiz himself, and the result is a straightforward film that's very genuine and relatable. If you hate Over Quartzer, I think there's a good chance you'd conversely love this one, but lucky for me, I'm more than okay with just saying they're both amazing.
And hey, Die even lent some credence to my theory at the end there!
(Also, Brand New Day is one of my favorite Rider songs, as long a list as that is. Just like the movie itself, I think it's just plain great as a song first, before even thinking about what it's connected to. It gets at this
really specific feeling
of like, basically deciding to get out of your own way and finally push towards the future you want to see, and the upbeat vibe it has ends up being super human and relatable. ...Kinda like the movie it's attached to, which is about Geiz learning to break out of a funk he's in, so the theme song also fits perfectly, on top of everything.)
