If you liked the "Masked Rider" television series of the '70's, you will like this one. A bit thin, but the Shocker gang is back and this time--well, I won't spoil it.

LOVED this movie. I'm a very big Kamen Rider fan and this was just great. It's basically a remake of the orginal, but for those of you that haven't seen the orginal here it is. Human turned to cyborg to do evil bidding, he wakes up from the evilness and goes good. Second human cyborg to kill first, then the second one turns good too. Both cyborgs vs. bad guy. Can't wait till "Kamen Rider: The Next".

This film is a remake of the original 1971 series, and even though it's already been under fire by die hard fans of the series it holds its own visually. The script and character development have much to be desired and give am overdramatic J-Idol feel as the main stars are both GQ model look-alikes. Visually though it triumphs without using any CGI or serious effects shots.

But probably the area where the film succeeds the most in is the Shocker agents that each have a wimsical nature to them and individual niches in the film. Several actors (Hiroshi Miyauchi, the original Kamen Rider V3 and Eisei Amamoto digitally makes an appearance as Shocker's leader). So overall most fans won't see anything completely new but will find this film enjoyable enough and should not be missed by those who know it's 35 year old legend.
