Director- Yamaguchi Kyouhei.He has worked on Kamen Rider Build, Kamen Rider Zero One, Kamen Rider Fourze, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Kamen Rider Zi-O, Kamen Rider Gotchard, along with several Kamen Rider films as well as works in Super Sentai.Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever marks the end of the Heisei generation and the beginning of the Reiwa generation. It is a highly nostalgic work and features the main riders of all the previous series as well as a few secondary riders.I especially loved Den O in this work with his more comedic tones and humorous antics. I also liked the treatment given to Sawatari Kazumi, Kamen Rider Grease from Build, as he is canonically the most forgettable Kamen Rider. He is played by Takeda Kouhei, who also played Kamen Rider Dark Kiva from Kiva. I liked the angle of the Kamen Rider fan being the younger brother of the kid the antagonist is after. The time-travelling in an alternate reality is interesting, though predictable. Watching all the previous Heisei riders fight together was awesome. It uses its less than two hours of runtime excellently.The film also has fourth wall-breaking moments, which make it clear that they made this as a gift for Heisei fans to remember their favourite riders by, if it is part of Den O, Build or Zi-O, as those got more prominent roles. Still, the rest got their share of type fight scenes, which the runtime was able to provide.The inclusion of other riders felt boring as I have been seeing them in Zi-O and all the films of that season. Hence, they should have brought back older villains, too, rather than the most recent ones.The riders didn't get to showcase their final forms, which made the fight scenes less interesting, as to why they did not use their full strength against their foes when it was a matter of life and death.The film doesn't explain adequately why a few of them lose their memories. This makes even less sense when it is made clear that they are in the past. How are people not surprised seeing so many unknown Kamen Riders when the latest season to release was going to be Kuuga?I would have liked it to give a more prominent role to Kuuga, as he is where this generation of riders began. It would have been nice to see him as the protagonist.I also would have liked for the original riders, Den-O, Kuuga and Double to beat their another rider counterparts rather than Zi-O curbstomping them yet again. Overall, the story is flimsy, and it has hype moments driven solely by nostalgia.
