Reviewing Episode: Let's Go Kamen Rider

Welcome to the first episode of Reviewing Episode, the section of where I review any shows or movies related to Tokusatsu. i did it since I need to vary my mind and also because not everyone read fanfic, so it's better to do something else too, right?

And my first victim is OOO, Den-O, All Riders Let's Go Kamen Rider, the 40th anniversary movie for Kamen Rider.

Okay, all main riders are here...wait, who the hell are you!? *looking at the red-white armor with peach eyes*
Skipping the whole story, I found a lot of weird things and a lot of unsatisfactory appear thanks to this movie.

First of all, I found that the show gets some problem from the start; the past actors of Kamen Rider is no longer can be contact. You see, in Japan, Kamen Rider is rendered real famous. And the actors and actresses will most likely get a lot of contract for other shows, unlike Super Sentai (from what I deduced).

Now, my first unsatisfactory is the presence of Den-O without the Den-O. Takeru Sato, the main actor of Kamen Rider Den-O, is out of reach. He is now super famous thanks to the series' successful. I mean, what's the point of having a cast of the show without the main cast? It's like the headless body, or having a Super Sentai series without red ranger. This brings us to my second unsatisfactory.

Den-O? No, no. You get the wrong person here. I am Kenshin Himura.
Den-O. Because of how successful the show is, Toei tends to overuse one thing that is famous and bring it up till the end of this world. Den-O is a 2008 show. But because most people love it, they keep making movies about it every year, and each movies are degrading every year. We are so lucky that OOO gets more focus then Decade and Kiva when they made the same crossover. But the question is, why Den-O? Because basically you can use the time-traveling plot of Den-O so that it would make more sense on how the riders meet up. But still not making any sense considering Heisei Riders are from different universes, confirmed by everyone. What about use the dimension traveling plot with Decade? Because Masashiro Inoue is too famous, no time. W, the one before OOO?

Look! Both W's main actors (Renn Kiriyama and Masaki Suda) clearly showing up at some point in the movie. That's mean they can actually show up for the whole movie. What? Can't Gaia Memory do the same about putting Kamen Riders into one place?

But don't worry. Den-O also not the main focus. It's about some kids that ended up into the past.

Problem rise here too.

Looking at how the show progress, it is mostly about how one mistake can change the whole history. That's a good thing. Except the time-traveling scheme is poorly done.

In the middle of the show, one of the boy, Naoki, stuck in the past. And in the end it turns out that Naoki lived like a normal people and grow up, get married, having a child that is actually his friend before he get stuck in the past...wait, WTF!? Is this Toei's way of making someone's friend banging that person's mom? But that's not the worst thing yet.

Not pictured: Hot mom in the future
 You see, in the earlier scene, it shows that Naoki has a memory of 40 years ago. That time happened before he had gone to the past (no connection here, Toei?). And then a paradox happened, and Naoki's life is now different. He is now a slum dog, not a millionaire. So, he lives in the past afterward, banging his friend's mom, who I'm sure is now a MYLF. So, he explain to everyone what happened and the present is not changed.

But, what about OOO? His story is still on!

This is why I hate Den-O...

You: Hey, shut up and just watched the whole show. At least we get to see all riders in movie.

Talk about the action, how awesome it is that all the main riders of their shows are introduced followed by their names said either by a lot of people there or by a mysterious announcer. Also we get their pose. So, what's wrong with that? Unlike Super Sentai's Legend War, we don't get to see all Riders fight in one scene. Why did this happened? Super Sentai has so many to be counted, yet they can appear all at once. But not Riders. Why, Toei!? Why!?

And about OOO's new form, TaMaShii (Taka, Imagin Shocker). We already know how Shocker medal is existed. Shocker created their own Core Medal. But what about Imagin Medal? Ankh clearly grabs out that thing out of Momotaros. He is a freaking Imagin! Made of sand! Is Ankh have some kind of magic hand that can create anything into a medal or something?  Hmm...*looking at my favorite actors and actress who name will not be mentioned*

The reason why I suddenly though ErYuI Combo (Erina Mano, Yumi Sugimoto, Yui Koike).
 I won't say much about Metal Hero appeared since I don't know much, but they just have a really short scene.

Technically, we are not riders. So that's understandable.
This is Kamen Rider movie. Why can't this show become epic? Super Sentai 35th anniversary is waaay better than this! F(bleep) you, Den-O!

So, I give this movie 2 out 5.


I better off watch porn (which is something I hate thanks to that annoying sound) rather than watching this movie.
