I can just feel the chagrin seeping through this post.
Honestly, I never take the Taisen movies too seriously because of how inconsistent a lot of them are. They exist just to make cheap money at the box office and provide kids on vacation some mindless entertainment to fill up time.

I remember a few things about this movie
Diend decided to be the final boss The part where all the Card Riders get to use Goseiger Cards is hilarious and really inventive in terms of borrowing powers. Narutaki is there and is still an enigma like always. The final attack involving the Go-Busters and Fourze is like one of my favorite combo attacks of all time. Uh other than that, not really a fan of the Taisen style of films honestly. |

Hey, I didn't spend a single second taking pot-shots at things like the return of Tsukasa's hilarious Shocker Hair (hysterical!) or how Marvelous ends the movie shaking the hand of a character he never really interacted with, rather than the dude he concocted this whole crazy scheme with. I'd say I was pretty restrained!
Sure, but I feel like you could similarly dismiss criticisms of all tokusatsu with It's Only There To Sell Toys. I think it's okay to ask for a smarter film than this.

This movie! Bad! Like, really bad! Phenomenally bad! The posterchild for every single little wrong with All Riders movies (which sometimes have Sentai in them) with plenty of character assassination to go around. It's undeniably one of the worst projects Toei put out in the Heisei Era. I'll always have a soft spot for it, though? For whatever bizarre reason, this was my introduction to Tokusatsu; Sentai and Rider as a whole. Before Gokaiger was my first actual series, I for whatever reason in my infinite wisdom found this movie on youtube and decided to watch it for the hell of it, and I'm pretty sure it was unsubbed; and naturally it was sort of making my mind do loops. It was bad then and I didn't have much to say for it, and I'm a little shocked in retrospect I decided "yeah let's check out Gokaiger" after such a ~wonderful~ outing for them. But I dunno. You'll always like your first, I guess, and this melts your brain so much it's hard to have the processing power to actually articulate reasoning for its objective quality; and also there's so much insane bullshit going on like Tsukasa and Kaitou's ongoing baffling divorce marriage, an absolutely brazen bold speedrun of Black and Shadow Moon's conflict out of nowhere that's so stupid you can't even be offended by it, and the wild decision to show Kiva and Go-Onger as one of the specific team-ups everyone wanted to see. Also, Doras and Daguva and Mezool standing next to each other on a spaceship as if they've got a banner behind them saying "GUYS WHO ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT BE HERE CLUB". Stupid movie! I love it! I hate it! It's the best! It's the worst! I will watch it at least once every year

The bit where Narutaki curses Decade, and Tsukasa's all tense about Narutaki's whole deal, like literally anyone in the world is still expecting payoff on that plot point! I don't even know what Yonemura thought people got out of Decade.

When I first watched this movie, I thought Decade was the currently ongoing series; and that this was some kind of lead-in to his mysteries to be resolved in the finale. I was so young and naive

I'm so glad that Senki ditched this formula and just had Riders and Sentai teaming up to save the world without any of the compliacted hero vs hero stuff that Taisen love to do.

Sounds like it's written entirely in line with Tsukasa and Decade to me!

RIGHT?? THAT'S LIKE ONE OF THE BIGGEST ONES!!!! You can have General Shadow and Apollo Geist and, like, a bunch of Fangires and even shit like Ouja and Caucasus if you want; they're either all evil fascist empires or just fuckin awful enough to go along with whatever domination plot is going on this time. But you canNOT put Joker Undead there, are you insane???
