The Rider cameos in movies always felt out of place. Like Double's cameo in Decade's movie (And him being far stronger in the movie than in series).

Anyway, I have a desire to watch A To Z now (As well as OOO Wonderful, for some reason...)
Off to find them!

OOO Wonderful is the only Kamen Rider film I've actually properly enjoyed.

Really? Huh. Why is that?
I'm not saying that you should enjoy all the Rider movies, but I'm curious to know what it was about OOO Wonderful that separated it from the bunch.

It is one of the only Kamen Rider films that felt truly cinematic, and not just like a PS2 game cut scene. The ending was great. The movie actually understood the characters, which blew me away in itself, as I watched the Fourze cast got wrong in every single movie they were included in. It knew how to please fans of the show, without pandering. The acting was great. The heart was even greater and the action was epic.

Hm. I can understand that. Then again, Fourze provides excellent examples of what not to do in a movie.

I loved OOO Wonderful, myself (Then again, I loved OOO, too), but mainly because of the spirit it had. It was great.

I loved OOO too bro, at least when it finally got going. The slog before Date appeared is not something I'd really want to put myself through again. But yeah man, the movie had such a big heart, I loved it.

Don't worry. I've experienced something similar through Fourze and the wait for Meteor.

I felt like Fourze went to shit when Meteor appeared. I loved Meteor himself, but everything else just went to hell. Every villain was of the week, the show decided it suddenly wanted a plot and didn't have time to both set one up and end it satisfyingly and once deep and engaging characters all became flat and ridiculous.

Imo the problem is that Fourze basically became Kamen Rider Meteor once Ryuusei arrived, the show didn't have much of an overarching plot before him, so Ryuusei was the one that moved the plot most of the time, when his arc was done... there really wasn't much else to do.

It doesn't bother me much becuase I love Ryuusei but it is dissapointing.

That's fair enough. I found the quality dip to be around Meteor Storm's introduction, myself. Primarily because Meteor vanilla had the Cancer and Aries Zodiart arcs.
