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
- Great for superhero fans and sci-fi fans. Comic-book roots, so expect big stakes and bigger set pieces. Sits nicely alongside My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Moves at a clip, at 46 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
The Dogma Kingdom attacks the Matagi (mountain tribe) village of Yamabiko to steal the sacred Flying Dragon Fortress and wreak havoc all over Japan. Six children from the fallen village take refuge in a nearby town, keeping their identities as Matagi citizens a secret. Kamen Rider Super-1 must protect these children from the Dogma Kingdom, as they hold the secret to the Flying Dragon Fortress' weakness.
