REVIEW: All Riders vs. DaiShocker, The Kamen Rider Decade Movie!

It’s going to be some time before we get to see it over here, but if you can’t wait, the Famous IgaDevil’s already seen it and we get front row seats through his eyes. He’s not hooked us up with not one, but TWO reviews. First one is spoiler free and the next is spoiler filled. Here’s a taste, but you’ll have to swing over to his digs for the full course.

Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Daishocker

Here it is. Possibly the biggest Rider movie to date, and easily one of the most anticipated.

The hype for this thing has been incredible, with one of the most aggressive ad campaigns I’ve seen in a while. Ads up the wazoo. Kamen Rider taking over 7-11 and the Tokyo Metropolitan Subway. Net movies which I still gotta watch. Mock Shocker political rallies. More TV specials and bits than ever before (why must most of them be on early in the morning or on the version of TV-Asahi we don’t get up here?) And much, much more.

And now, it’s finally out. Does it live up to expectations? I’ll get to that in a sec!

Obviously, this movie had a lot riding on it, if you’ll forgive the terrible pun. It’s the movie of the show celebrating 10 years of Kamen Rider back on TV, it’s the first movie to unite all the Riders, new and old, in one film. For many of them, this is their first time back in on-screen Kamen Rider in years. It also has to be about the titular Kamen Rider Decade, since it is his movie.

And make no mistake, it is his movie. It’s a Kamen Rider Decade movie featuring all the Riders, rather than a movie about all the Riders that happens to have Decade in it. He’s the star attraction, even given how significant his co-stars are to selling the film to viewers. It’s his story, but they all play a part in it
