Current Events > Just got back from watching Shin Kamen Rider

(+) Yeah! (+)

The movie was okay. The pacing was yikes, and the translation felt like Toei outsourced it to the cheapest translator possible.

It was fun though.

Yikes as in "jesus christ get to the point already"

or yikes as in "Jesus Christ slow down and let the scenes breathe"

I won't get a chance to see it for a while but it looks really cool. >_>

The second.

Almost no exposition, so it was hard to really follow.

It felt like there were things the director wanted, and they just cut to them. Could have used a bit more explaining.

Special effects were, well, what I'm used to as far as Kamen Rider.

I only only seen the trailer, but the blood special effect is laughable. It's like they made regular KamenRider fight scene and added the blood later.

I also saw it. Sadly I know nothing about the series and only tagged along with my friends.

What did you think about it?

Definitely not something i would normally watch. Fighting scenes were goofy with a lot of cgi but also was super bloody? Pacing felt like it was 5 episodes instead of a movie? Not trying to be negative but i just... didn't understand a lot of it.

Yeah, it felt like five episodes crammed into one.

There are probably much better Kamen Rider out their. 555 is good, as is Agito or Kuuga.
