With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for comic book readers and anyone curious about anime. Comic-book roots, so expect big stakes and bigger set pieces. Sits nicely alongside Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse or My Hero Academia: You're Next. It's anime, with all the big emotions and big action that comes with it.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 24 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
The Shocker Organization sends two of its Inhumanoids to destroy an atomic plant, but their plan is foiled by an invisible barrier that surrounds the complex. Because of this, they abduct a top soccer player and convert him into Tokageron, a lizard Inhumanoid capable of kicking a 5 kg bomb to destroy the plant's barrier. Kamen Rider must once again combat the Shocker and prevent them from destroying the atomic plant.
