Reviews

The film received a mixed-to-positive reception from critics and fans alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 7.2/10 based on user reviews, highlighting appreciation for the dynamic action sequences and the charismatic performance of Toshiki Seto. Fans praised the film’s commitment to expanding the Kamen Rider universe, with particular commendation for its character development and team dynamics. However, some reviewers on Japanese forums and fan sites noted that the storyline felt somewhat predictable and that the film's relatively short runtime limited deeper exploration of the plot and characters. Despite this, the visuals and special effects were widely regarded as well-executed, staying true to the tokusatsu tradition. Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic do not list ratings for this specific title, reflecting its niche appeal primarily within the Kamen Rider fandom. Overall, critics agree that while it may not break new ground in the genre, it remains an entertaining and solid addition that fans of the series will enjoy.
