Kamen Rider 1Ĭomplains aside, finally the actual first Ghost movie, in the Ghost Movies and Specials post.Īnd this was a great movie, probably my favorite thing that came out of Ghost. Please, Kamen Rider, stop, we get it, you love your own franchise, you don’t need to keep doing this circle jerk all the time when you wanna do something cool that serves as an homage to your own history. PLEASE STOP BRINGING FINAL BOSSES BACK, they’re final bosses for a reason goddammit, they’re not cannon fodder! When you bring a final boss back anytime you have a chance it just loses the cool effect it could have.
I don’t have much to say because this was pretty much just a boss rush, but I have to say this.
KAMEN RIDER MOVIES MATTER MOVIE
Like, they have enough content to be its own TV movie and it’s all just to explain how they got the Rider Eyecons, AND THAT’S IN THE MOVIE FOR LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES!!!!!!!!!! And like, these form changes are so useless that if they had taken that out of the movie it wouldn’t make a difference!!! I swear to god, why do they still think this kind of stuff is cool? UGH And well… I didn’t expect them to be so pointless. Kamen Rider Ghost: Legendary! Riders’ Souls!īecause I was left with the feeling that I got no useful information after watching THE NEXT, I decided to do something that I never do that is watch the web specials they release for each movie in the hopes that I would have enough context to watch Kamen Rider 1 without a problem. If you want some advice, skip this one, it’s not worth it. And there’s also the terrible final scene with that awful CGI fire that was cringy as hell.
It was the rider portion that was a letdown, it was pretty much just some random action, and while watching that girl fighting with a chainsaw was cool as hell there wasn’t much background stuff to justify all of that and put some meaning on it. Admittedly, the horror portion was pretty good, I would be interested in watching it. The feeling I had while watching it was that the producers either read the Helter Skelter manga, or watched Perfect Blue, or they saw one of those conspiracy theories of artists who don’t seem to age that died and were replaced and wanted to make a horror movie that would deal in with the cruelty of the entertainment world, but they got denied and were put in to make the sequel of THE FIRST without wanting it, so they picked their original idea and shoved Kamen Rider into it as a secondary element that feels like it doesn’t belong in that movie, and in the end, it fails at both. THE NEXT on the other hand, while it was more of a “film” rather than a “compilation”, it was also less of a Rider movie, they had riders on it, but it felt like they weren’t the main focus. This movie made me really curious to watch the original show, I know this is not exactly what I’ll get whenever I watch it, but it left the “I want more” taste in my mouth. I love the action scenes, I’m not a specialist in this matter but it was really refreshing seeing a fight scene that was pretty much all done with practical stunts and very little CGI. It lacked a lot of information, like how Hayato got to Shocker, and it kinda wasted time with the plotline of the kids from the hospital that didn’t get a proper payoff, but it was still an entertaining movie. Which was not really a problem because it was pretty much a very solid movie, despite the cuts that leave a lot of gaps between each point. The impression I had was that they choose the most crucial moments in a “The Best of” format and just glued that together and sold it as a movie.
Like, while I can’t attest how truthful to the source material THE FIRST is, it was pretty much one of those compilation movies. I knew THE FIRST was a remake/adaptation of the original TV show and the manga and THE NEXT was its sequel so this would probably give me enough context to watch Kamen Rider 1.Īnd I wish I had done some more research before watching these movies because I feel like watching THE NEXT was a mistake. I was well aware I wouldn’t be able to watch the actual show right now and I didn’t want to read the wiki so I was about to give up on the idea when I looked at my notes and I saw that Kamen Rider THE FIRST and THE NEXT were a thing, and I thought this would fit in perfectly with the amount of time I have right now. I debated if I should watch it or not since, after all, my knowledge of the OG Kamen Rider is pretty much below basic and I was very afraid I would be missing in a lot of stuff. So, while looking at the list of Ghost’s movies I saw that Kamen Rider 1 was on the list and that it was also technically part of the canon.
