The Next tanked really, really badly at the box office. Apparently not many people were interested in a lame J-horror with a few Kamen Rider cameos. Toei killed the reboot series after that and the suits were scrapped with some elements recycled into villains in a Den-O movie.

This is what bothers me. People these days are sooo caught up in ratings and box office info. If someone's friend goes to see a movie and that friend doesn't like it, that someone won't go see it because of their friend. And then their friends won't go, and so on and so on. It starts a stupid cycle of people not watching stuff for themselves. Hence why I ignore reviews and box office info.
As for the horror aspect of the movie....it was interesting. I was watching it while at work and couldn't follow everything like I wanted. But it was strill good. The scenes were nicely choreographed and and the fx were good. I loved the Flaming V3 in The Next.

I had an idea just now. Kamen Rider... Destiny. The Traveller, who is a person and not a giant white ball in the sky, comes to Earth seeking 'Guardians' of the 'Light'. The Hunter, The Titan, and the Warlock. Kamen Rider Destiny Hunter, Kamen Rider Destiny Titan, and Kamen Rider Destiny Warlock. The enemies, of course, are the Fallen, Vex, and the Hive with their God King Oryx and his Taken Generals.

I'd watch Destiny as a Kamen Rider show.

Interesting. I'd watch it.

Rider 3's design seem to be inspire by the First/Next suits and the SIC figures as well. So it's not like Toei have forgotten about The First/Next.

I loved how their suits looked in the movie. Loved how they made them actually look different other than changing the colors of the gloves and scarves. Plus between Hongo and Ichimonji's helmets, I liked Ichimonji's the best.

You can ignore box office info all you want, but Toei's not going to finance another movie in the series when the second one didn't even bring in $1 million.

Even Bandai seems like they want to forget about The First and The Next. There was no gimmick merchandise of them from the Decade-Ghost toyline.

The only good from First and Next were the redesigns and action but the stories sucked.

Anyone know if the Ghost OST has been released yet? I absolutely NEED Necrom's theme music!!!
