VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

fenrisilver-1 To me, Maked Rider is your average children's Japanese Power Ranger movie. Only instead of being something only a child can enjoy, it makes for a decent action flick. With a deeper (and darker) storyline, less protagonists, and without cheesy humor, aliens, crazy weapons that give the heroes an advantage, and giant robots or powerful vehicles that that the heroes could also use to lay waste to their foes.The plot of the film jumps around quite a bit, and when it's not expanding on the main character's story you're often left bored or just dead confused at whats going on (although by the end, bits and pieces will have all come together, not that the plot twists these make are that significant to the story). Although the rising action portion of the film is a long one, and the good action scenes are short few and far between, when it gets good, it really gets good. Essentially its still acrobatic martial artists wearing costumes fighting either each other or hordes of evil minions (which are the human equivalents of grunts from Halo), the moves that the main characters can pull off are amazing. But I can't critique the film based on action so Pros Excellent Action Cool looking costumes (most of them at least) Interesting plot Cons The plot jumps around a lot The good scenes are spread out throughout the film separated by long scenes of diologue and other characters

HenshinHero I watched the movie recently. I gotta say I LOVED IT. Friggin' amazing.Pro:-Loved the romance between Hongo Takeshi, Asuka and Ichimonji Hayato. -Excellent acting. They were so good. -The Shockers. My gosh. I loved them all, especially Spider. -The subplot about two illness people who later became into Cobra and Snake. I loved that subplot. I must say it's nice to see them together and then became into villains. -The wire work were excellent. Well done. -The Choreography Fights were really well done. -The Legendary Actor who used to play as Kamen Rider V3, Hiroshi Miyauchi... it was NICE to see him in this movie. I hope he comes back in the sequel (If the rumor is true). Hiroshi Miyauchi FOREVER!Bat looks very interesting and it reminds me of Agent Aburera from Dekaranger.Con:-One thing that bothers me, it's like something went go fast. I wish they put the UNCUT version in that movie, just like Hakaider Movie. But heck, it was very enjoyable to watch.Overall, this movie gets an A-. Good plot and subplot as well. Also, Behind-The-Scenes was really cool. I must say it's a worth to buy it and watch the movie!!I'm definitely looking forward to see the sequel...if the rumor is true.HENSHIN!

helmutty To say the truth, I haven't watch the old version of kamen rider the first, so I can't say there is a difference in it. But I quite like it. I heard this movie was the remake version, and thought of going to Hong Kong to catch the movie, and turn out the cinema did not have it, but at least I went shopping and waited for the DVD. When I watched it, I realize that we should wait for the DVD to come out. You can just turn on your speaker loud and get some popcorn and sit down to watch. I don't despite the movie but I think the movie is a bit too short to watch it in the cinema. I don't know whether the old version is longer but the bad guys die too fast and the action scenes are ( I think) less than 5 minutes. Just the "whack!" the bad guys just flew off the screen, so maybe if there is another remake of it, I think they should improve the action scenes. But overall, the movie is worth a watch.

le_chooche Continuing Japaense movie industry's recent exploit of classic tokusatsu (casshar, Tetsujin 28), here comes the (yet another) remake of the Kamen rider series. On the plus side, the cinematography is wonderful. there are quite a few brilliant ideas: Shocker is like a modern Costa Nostra, forcing converts into living a double life. A stable of potentials are kept in a secret hospital for later material. The 2 riders both performs questionable actions as criminals. The creepy agent from Shocker. The taking off of the mask. These are all ideas that could have made up a great script. But sadly the scrip-writer failed to deliver on this one.This could be a great movie, if only the script didn't spent half of the running time on predictable romances by paper cutout characters and badly written cliché' ridden rumination about life, On the other hand this movie offers plenty of unexplained plot lines that just fizzled out, and, Oh, unanswered questions:1) Who got pick for conversion? Why? 2) Do the Inhumans have free will? Or not? What do they got in return for having their body altered? 3) How did Hongou Takeshi beat the need for blood transfusion? 4) WTF did Hongou do to earn him a BRAND NEW bike as a GIFT?I did force myself to sit through it. But boy, it wasn't fun.
