Solid S-word movie, the story is a mess. The director makes the actors and actresses don't seem to know how to play roles. Long dialogues with various terms that are repeated and wordy to make it look like adult movie consumption but very failed in its implementation. The scenes are untidy, weird, and I don't know what to say other than messy... strange and uncomfortable cinematography angle shot that tries to appear cinematic and meaningful but unfortunately the results fail. Maybe this is the result of Anno's reluctance to use storyboards in developing his creative visual concept. I heard that fight scenes don't use stunt directors, no wonder zero go vs ichigo fight scenes are like wrestling *. They use a 12/14 camera angle using an iPhone but the results are just like that. CG film class C which is very mediocre is shown repeatedly in several scenes that look very embarrassing. At the end it was even made very dark in the fight with the shocker rider as it covered up a lot of weaknesses. I think Anno should stop directing real person and writing for live action...

This is coming from a non-fan, better known as normie: I think it's pretty enjoyable to watch from start to finish because the movie almost didn't give me room to breath like, dude it's full of action from the Toho logo to credits! Since I'm a non-fan, the things that bother the original fans so much pass me by like wind through canyons, so hey feel free to roast me if you want. CGI didn't bother me that much like in Anno's previous two shins, I mean I could still catch what's going on. Practical effect done rightfully even brutal in some parts, like blood splattering all over the place. I wonder if Anno already had plan to make another shin series of another Japanese IP after this. Shin-Super Sentai anyone? 7.5/10.

Produced to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kamen Rider and the fourth and final film? In Hideaki Anno's Shin Japan Heroes Universe. Epic Kamen Rider adaptation with stellar cast and production quality. The questionable campy style, pacing and editing confused me a lot. The story didn't had any anchor or fleshed out characters for emotional weight. Also the ending was sad and depressing and thus disappointing for my personal taste.

I have to admit that I wasn't harboring any expectations at all when I sat down to watch the 2023 Japanese superhero movie "Shin Kamen Raidâ" (aka "Shin Masked Rider"). I was only familiar with this movie by its title and from the mask worn by the main character. However, I haven't seen the Anime, so I am not really familiar with this character or the universe in which the story takes place. However, I must say that a movie such as "Shin Kamen Raidâ" is somewhat of an acquired taste, and I think you need to be Japanese and having grown up with these type of strange superheroes in order to enjoy their movies. I found very little entertainment in the script that writers Hideaki Anno and Shotaro Ishinomori had put together. And I made it about 50 minutes through the 121 minute runtime, and then I just tossed the towel in the ring. I had found nothing enjoyable in the movie, and it was quite a struggle to keep focus on what happened on the screen, as I just simply didn't care one bit about the story or the characters. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but I am sure that the actors and actresses put on good performances. I just didn't take a liking to the character gallery in "Shin Kamen Raidâ". Visually then "Shin Kamen Raidâ" was an okay movie. Not top of the line special effects, but definitely good enough. My rating of "Shin Kamen Raidâ" lands on a three out of ten stars. And having made it 50 minutes through the ordeal, I can honestly say that I am not returning to attempt finish watching "Shin Kamen Raidâ".

The movie starts pretty strong, with a good fighting scene and the introduction of the Shin Kamen Rider who basically pays homage to the original Kamen Rider from 1971. Sadly, after the strong start, things started to go downhill slowly. The plot became cringy and the fan favorite Kamen Rider was more of a secondary character since they were focusing a lot on someone else. When it comes to the fighting scenes, they weren't good, it's like they were inspired by animes like Dragon Ball Z and Nartuto, it doesn't sound too bad, but the CGI felt like I was playing a few years old PC game. Was it really that hard to make good fighting scenes like in the other Kamen Rider movies and shows? The cast, the acting, the costumes, the bikes and the music were great, and the kid from The Last Samurai is actually our Kamen Rider. Unfortunately, I wish I did something better with my time, compared to Shin Godzilla, the movie is a huge letdown. I'm giving it 5 stars because of the nostalgia factor and the positive things i mentioned above. It really pains to give such a low score to a Kamen Rider movie.

This movie is a disappointing experience, marred by subpar CGI and lackluster acting that detracts from any potential enjoyment. While the concept and plot had promise, the execution falls flat due to the glaring issues with visual effects and performances. The CGI work in this film is nothing short of disastrous. From poorly-rendered creatures to awkwardly integrated green screens, the visual effects are jarring and take the audience out of the story. The lack of attention to detail in the CGI undermines the movie's attempts to create an immersive world, leaving viewers struggling to suspend disbelief. The acting performances add to the film's woes. The cast, unfortunately, seems uninspired and disengaged, delivering their lines with little emotion or conviction. This lack of commitment to their roles makes it challenging for the audience to invest in the characters or care about their journey. The combination of weak CGI and lackluster acting results in an overall sense of amateurishness that permeates the film. Instead of being drawn into the story, viewers are left cringing at the awkward visual effects and wooden performances. Additionally, the film's plot, which could have been a redeeming factor, fails to make up for the glaring flaws in CGI and acting. While the concept shows potential, the execution lacks coherence and leaves many plot points feeling underdeveloped and unresolved. Despite any efforts made in other aspects of production, the subpar CGI and acting ultimately undermine the film's potential. It becomes a challenging task for the audience to overlook these glaring issues and find enjoyment in what could have been a compelling story. In conclusion, this movie suffers greatly from its horrible CGI and lackluster acting. The visual effects are unconvincing and take away from any sense of immersion, while the performances lack the passion and skill needed to make the characters come to life. Despite a promising premise, the film fails to deliver, leaving viewers disappointed and disengaged.
