Thoughts on Missing Ace.

Every movie had a formulae.

Missing Ace is no better.So they are just offering exactly a repackage deal from last year's movie with this year's Heroes.

New Designs or Yet to be Seen Designs.
Like the previous efforts, one of Missing Ace's Trump Card is New Designs.This year's offering is on par with last year's with 3 New riders,1 canon fodder monster design similar to Paradise Lost's 2 Rider + Canoon Fodder Rider design.Paradise Lost have the New Wolf Orphenoch Design and 555 Blaster mode.Missing Ace have Blade King Form and Joker Undead Form.(The other White Joker could be a movie exclusive.).Also included in Missing Ace are yet to seem Undead (Evolution Stag) or Movie Exclusives (Slash Lizard,Change Beetle and Smog Squid in which I applauded on Toei for skipping him in the TV and used him for the movie instead).

Intense Action
The action in the movie is more intense in the movie as the fighting the TV series is too slow.Movie didn't opt to make the Fight scenes overly exaggerated with Matrix style Fighting Style which Hollywood over used and I like it that way.However in order to stay on pace,Movie skipped on the logic of the Rouse Cards,so many of the Finishers are short cut to give maximum impact.TV series also didn't had much of a mass melee scene but the Movie having 'More to War' checklisted,we got many more costumed people fighting and chasing each other.

CGI/CGI eternities.
Last year's Paradise Lost goes big on CGI and the Movie was pretty much brought down by perhaps some I personally find, useless CGI scenes.This year's CGI scenes look more natural and more to the movie's pace.Thumbs Up.

Cameo
Tradition is to have actors from previous series to appear.This time round we got the Snake,Horse,Rose orphenoch.Riderchips, the people behind the Theme,appears for a moment.

OVERALL
Overall I find that Missing Ace to be the most complete movie for the Rider Series.It may not be the most Original or the most Entertaining but I can see Toei is getting it closer for the Perfect Movie Formulae.The movie also didn't try to reveal it's Trump Card for the series,the new forms for the rest of the other Riders save Blade.They intergrate it into the plot of the movie cleverly so making us wondering if we should to continue watching the TV series.I rate it 8/10 for being slipshod on some minor details but I like it better than Paradise Lost which is actually most of the fanboy's favourite.
