Editor Emi Tsujita shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

The Climax of the ANNO Shin Trilogy has finally arrived and it does not disappoint. As both a Kamen Rider and Action movie fan, this movie was a motherfucking blessing from God. Not only does it pay great homage and respect to Ishinomori's original work, but it also succeeds heavily as a sci-fi action film with its own ideas and spins on the genre. It has some of the most insane experimental fights ive seen in recent history. The intense choreograpy, the fucking cuts, the editing, and the Anno cinematography all make such an exhilarating and frenetic experience that will put you on the edge of you seat (That DBZ Ichigo vs Nigo fight was fantastic). Even if you're not a Kamen Rider fan i highly recommend this movie because THIS is just action cinema at its finest. Fuck the cleanliness of JW4 and fuck the long takes. I'd rather watch what Shin Kamen Rider offers all day and i hope more will follow.
