Let's Go Kamen Riders Reviewed!

It's the biggest Kamen Rider movie in the history of forever! But does it pass the Igadevil test? The only way to find out was to get on camera and tell you myself.

I decided to try something a little different this time, and make a vlog-ish thing. The result is not quite what I originally had in mind, but hopefully you'll enjoy it!

The first 19 minutes are mostly spoiler-free, after which I go into a plot breakdown. Though if you want to go into this one with no spoilers at all, I'll just say this: It was good.

  1. After I see it again, yeah, I might do that and fill in a few of the things I missed.

  2. Erm, so there are rumors of this film connecting to Super Sentai 199 Battle...are there clues in the film itself?

  3. What about the fight between Shadow Moon and Decade?

  4. Just wondering about a detail regarding the other main Riders... Do they get to speak anything, aside from their own names? Like, in one of the trailers there's a scene showing Kabuto raising his finger on the center of the screen. Does he give his speech during it? Or is everyone just grunting and yelling attack names like in All Riders vs Dai-Shocker?

  5. Though I'm one of the few/many people that quit at the 19 minute mark, I will say that I'm jealous but at the same time in awe that you made a trip out of seeing this movie. Hope to read more stuff on your blog.

  6. What would you have done if Cyborg 009 and Skull Man had shown up? I'm slightly disappointed that none of the other Ishinomori heroes appeared aside from the 4 we knew about anyway but oh well, but to be honest I had expected the re appearance to be a flashback anyway, I'm quite happy with it as it is. I agree with what you said about only really having the good riders appear maybe being better than all the secondaries, when we had that detail that 50 would appear I did some maths and realised we could get practically all the heroic riders into that, but what we've got is cool.

  7. Thanks all!

    @Xamda Shatteredheart: Not from what I could see. That movie will be its own thing.

    @shadowmoon019: It's pretty much only during Decade's intro. Shadow Moon's role in this is very small.

    @Z: It's pretty much all grunting/yelling aside from the Riders with their actual voices (1,2,V3, the Den-O's, Double, OOO, Birth) and the crowd or some mysterious voice (Sasaki Isao?) says their names.

    @KR ShinkenRed: I would have liked some more Ishinomori heroes, but given their small role, I feel almost like these guys were just a test for another possible movie. Who knows at this point?

  9. Igadevil FTW. Love your shirt man.

    Until I can watch the movie myself, I've only watched the first 15-20 minutes.

    Congrats on your first v-log post.

  10. i can't view the vid for some reason,so a written review as usual would be very appreciated

    as for the rider-sentai connection,IMO the only thing they have left is :

    -the fact that miyauchi played two of the first sentais(which is still written by ishimori sensei)

    -the shinken-decade crossover

    -that girl in gokaiger eps6 which somehow obtained the most powerful credit card ever.......CJX

    right now i envy the sentai series,all of gokaiger cameos are real face cameos from both heisei and showa eras,and there's a lot of them,all we get from riders today are voice cameos and......den O

  13. I've been reading your reviews for years now, and I am a big fan. I just wanted to ask you one thing: How did the Tamashii Combo Henshin Sound sound like? Is it like everyone says: Tamashii Rider Tamashii (in a Tatoba-like beat)?

    ReplyDelete
  14. I was just wondering, what did the Tamashii Combo henshin theme sound like? Is it like every one says, Tamashii Rider Tamashii (in a Tatoba beat)?

    P.S. I am a big fan of your reviews.

  15. (Bows in respect)
    Thank you very very much for the review, I'm watching it as soon as I get a copy.

    I have a request to, I have been thinking of doing a video review of the Showa series, but am having trouble finding plot summaries for the episodes. Let me know what yoou think and maybe we can do a mutual review. themmo50@gmail.com

  16. hey Iga, I enjoyed the review, but I think it will actually do better as a sound only review / podcast. I didn't watch the video at all and just listened to it, and I still enjoyed it alot.

    Thanks alot for the review. Really looking forward to when I can actually watch this awesome movie.

  17. I will do a written follow-up-ish thing if I have the time. To address a couple things:

    The Decade/Shadow Moon battle is pretty much what you've seen if you've watched any of the footage released so far. Decade jumps off a staircase, slashes Shadow Moon away on the way down, then slashes him again when he lands. If this movie has a DC, I figure it'll have a lot of extra battle footage at the end.

    The Tamashii Combo song is basically "TAMASHII! Tamashii-Tamashii... Rider...TA-MA-SHII!". Well, that's as good as I can get it in text.
