Kamen Rider OOO: 10th Core Medal Resurrection (2022)

Eiji deserved a life with Ankh and Hina. And therapy.

Why make fans wait then years to screw them over like this?
Whilst I agree that Eiji was in character, it is vastly out of character for Ankh, Hina, and Shingo to let Eiji kill himself when they could have prevented it.
Suicide is not the way for someone to find peace at all., it is a symptom, not a solution. And it’s an awful end for Eiji who was traumatised and suffering ptsd when this started, only to finally find someone who understood him and friends who became family.
Then to lose his other half (I don’t ship Ankh and Eiji romantically in the series but their appearances in between and this movie have shifted my opinion) and spend 10 years trying to bring him back… and what? Leave Ankh alive whilst Eiji dies? I hated it. Actually and vehemently hated it. As some Japanese reviewers have said “the lights came up at the end of the film and it was silent. Like there was no hope left.”
Toei, Eiji deserved better. Ankh and Hina deserved better. And your fans did too.

A tasteless spit in the face of OOO's legacy

Without any exaggeration this is the worst movie i have ever watched. I would rather watch the most disgusting, depraved, cheap porno or watch paint dry than ever glance at this movie again. It is so unbelievably blind and tone deaf to the core ideas and messages of the show that it almost feels like it was specifically made to tarnish it's legacy. It is a soulless, heartless, depressing conclusion that fails to do justice to any narrative aspect of OOO, be it the story, characters or messages. If this is how Toei view OOO I'd rather they never touch the character ever again than try to follow up this disaster.

The only good thing to come out of this movie was Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Regained. It's not a perfect movie, but it showed that Toei learner from their mistakes and will treat all future anniversary movies with more careful thought.

If you are an OOO fan: i do not recommend you watch this. The good this movie has does not make up for it's flaws.

0.5/10
