With a dark and violent theme like Shin Kamen Rider i can understand why the TV-series been cancelled but with Kamen Rider ZO follow pretty much everything that make the series famous in the first place and there only a 50 minutes movie?The movie have right amount of cheesiness to satisfy any KR fan and B-movie fan in general.The costume look cool and overall a perfectly fine movie to anyone want to get in the series
... View MoreAfter the failure of Shin Kamen Rider in 1992, Toei Co. Ltd. decided to return back to the famous hero's roots with their next Kamen Rider film, Kamen Rider ZO. The movie follows the traditional formula of previous Kamen Riders well with an added twist: ZO has to play a T-100 from Terminator 2 type of role. Cons: The movie is a tad short and tends to rush itself, as with all Toei movies during this time. The claymation fight sequence is poor. Pointless J-Pop song in the middle of the film.Pros: Well-staged live-action fight sequences. Catchy music. A nice and compact plot. Acting is pretty good. Great costume design (although they look a bit similar to the live action US Guyver film, save for ZO)It's a film worth seeing, in my honest opinion. Fans will dig this and this is probably one of the best movies to watch to get a guy or girl into Kamen Rider.Rating: 4/5
