As a long time Kamen Rider fan(real riders not the late heisei/reiwa stuff) this bring so muc joy for me.
There's some flaws for sure.. like the pacing, some actions feels a little off, and how a certain character(no spoilers) pretty much carried the later parts of the movie. But it really captures how a Kamen Rider should be, Ilove the visuals, and I don't mind the violence because if you read the manga that's how it is, how strong the rider. And it's obvious this movie isn't for kids unlike the tv shows. All in all it feels like a love letter to us old fans.
Those who watched the original series and read the manga will definitely love this, to me it's everything it needs to be. Ishinomori sensei would be proud.
Here's hoping for a sequel, perhaps with V3 being introduced.
