anthony w A fine modernization of the classic hero's story. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member As far as modern reboots go, Kamen Rider The First ranks up there with the first Iron Man movie and The Amazing Spider-man. It takes a story that Japanese tokusetsu fans young and old already know and pushes it in a new direction while still staying true to the spirit of the original show. Packed with subtle performances from veteran toku actors and dazzling fight sequences, it gives the original Kamen Rider a makeover that is neither glamorous nor dark and gritty, merely more real - or as real as a show such as Kamen Rider can seem - while still dancing on the fringes of the viewers' imagination. Recommended for seasoned fans looking for an update on a classic and newcomers looking to wet their feet alike. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a neat update to the classic series in japan. The thing that really makes it here is it's obvious stunts and choreography. It may be cheesy but it has style. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Great comeback for Kamen Rider fans, a must see, but not a total substitute for the original series. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A great faithful film update to the original popular TV-show. A film-adaption that is sure to please fans of the long-running franchise. As a Kamen Rider fan myself I'd say they did things right with this reboot. The story-telling is great, the fight choreography is terrific, this is just what makes Japanese Sci-Fi Cinema a beautiful fun ride. Though the film focuses more on humanism and it lacks what made the original Kamen Rider show so great--a ton of humanoid cyborg monsters, awesome entertaining break-out fights, and mesmerizing ground-breaking special effects. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member nostalgia, ichigo dan niigo dengan design baru, tp dai shocker dengan design awal yang super garing wkwkwkkw tp KEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
