I will say that Geats (and Gotchard etc) is way off in the future. I think doing these types of threads so close to the airdates maybe is not the right context for my approach? Distance allows for a little more evenhandedness, and the wounds of show's mistakes become less intense with the addition of time. I gotta plenty of other stuff lined up, though! I hope folks are interested in what the next phase of these threads look like on Monday!

This is actually a movie I had something written up on Reddit when it came out and honestly, my opinion hasn't changed since then, so I'll be lazy, like the movie, and recycle old work I did before:
I did not like this at all. It suffers from a lot of the same problems Revice suffers from, just condensed, its similar to Vail in that way. It funnily enough suffers the most from the exact same problem as Vail, the relationship at the core of the story is just laughable. Vail had its "knowing you for less than a day" romance, and this has "I talked to you less than half a minute, take me to the amusement park, uncle" "father-daughter" relationship. And it just doesn't work at all, is unbelievable, and the child in question is written stilted and not like a human at all. It's bottom-tier dialog all the way through, which kills any sort of emotional investment I could have had. Daiji is also once again pushed to the side and doesn't really get anything to do. I really related to Kagero with how done I was with Daiji being an idiot. The entire story also only happens because everyone involved makes the dumbest moves possible. Daiji's trap is idiotic and even Kagero's plan archives almost nothing. The cake goes to the three stooges, Hanna, Sakura, and Tamaki though. That scene feels like a parody. No, scratch that, I have seen that scene before! In Koryuger! A monster literally transforms in front of the heroes and tries to act cute and obvious, it doesn't work and is ridiculed as ridiculous. And low and behold, this movie makes them actually fall for it hook, line, and sinker... I... What an idiot plot! Worst of all, it is so in character for these numbskulls. So, yeah... Massive dud for me.

Ha ha, man, Rumi really worked for me! I thought she had great chemistry with Hiromi right off the bat, and Hiromi's undisguised happiness at getting her ramen and undisguised regret at not being able to take her to the theme park super landed with me. I like the two of them a whole lot! I definitely did not like the plot they were stuck in!

But for good reasons! Hiromi was framed for kidnapping and hunted by enemies and friends alike, while Tsurugi had to get back to France on short notice. Luckily, Revice Forward had an end credits sequence where Hiromi could fulfill his promise to Rumi, while Tsurugi's return was likely cut for time. It all worked out for both of them eventually!

Yeah, you basically summed this movie up. It’s not the greatest in terms of storytelling and really doesn’t feel at all like a continuation of Revice, so much as half a rejected script that got repurposed, half a retread of Dear Gaga instead of giving Hiromi a new arc (though Hiromi bonding with the kid actually had some heart there, since he knew the kid beforehand)
And in terms of casting trivia, our female henchman was previously female lead Yoko in Ultraman Z, while our evil Doctor villain was previously main character Takuto in Chousei Kantai Sazer-X (a show where you’ll probably recognise some of the supporting cast if you watch it), and the voice of secondary villain Hudram in Ultraman Trigger (he even uses the latter’s catchphrase after turning into a monster). Hiromi: It’s Hiromi’s and… Daiji: Daiji’s… Both: Stamp Navi. Daiji: Why are you going first? I’m the one who took things away from this experience. Hiromi: Because I’m the one everyone came here to see. Now then, let’s start with my new Vistamp. Giant Spider! Grand! Gigant! Giant! Spider! Hiromi: Giant Spider is the ultimate evolution of Demons, using the combat data from Destream to create the ultimate Genomix warrior, Kamen Rider Imperial Demons. Kagerou takes over. K-Daiji: Move aside, old man. Let the real star of this flick show off his new Vistamp. Mega Bat! Marvellous Up! Shining so Brightly! A Severe Darkness! Crossing Crossing! Kamen Rider Live and Evil Marvellous! Kagerou: With this Vistamp, Daiji and I are bolstered to a level matching Giffard Rex, with the aid of the Revice Driver. Now I can really kill off my family. Impulsively, Hiromi activates the Giant Spider Vistamp, causing its standby jingle to start playing, while Hiromi himself starts dancing to it. Kagerou stares in confusion before joining in. George then enters. George: Hey, hey, hey! Didn’t I tell Daiji and Kagerou that they were - (he sees that everyone is dancing, shrugs, and then joins in) |
