Kamen Rider Sole Nero

I really like the plot and the new storytelling that makes everything seems realistic. But I completely hate the VFX or the graphics. I mean come on man that's my childhood. Right now i'm 26 now it's could be better on special effects and the suit of kaijin should be VFX at this moment.

But i still love it the toned of the series the set-up worth to watch guys. I mean i'm not kamen rider kind of guy but i still enjoy the series.

I gave this series 8/10 I deduct marks because of the kaijin still wearing the suit man we're grown up there should be better than this. I also love the gore so much brutality.

The direction could have been more polished, fight choreography is just passable, vfx could have been better. Good thing the story carried it. The atmosphere and theme of the darker showa and hessei kamen rider story line was well captured. How they reinvent black's story was also well respective of the original. Costume designs and creature designs also shines here. I love the suits, specially on the two riders. I also love how they handled the cryptic lore of the kaijins and the eventual explanation on the symbol of Black Sun. I do hope they manage to find a way to make an RX in the future, hopefully, with a better direction, fight choreography, and vfx. Still a solid watch, and highly recomended, even if you are not familiar with Kamen Riders.

If you grew up on the original Kamen Rider Black as I did...then probably better to think of this as a completely different series, or you will likely be disappointed as I kind of unfortunately am. I really wanted to like it more, but it's hard to get past some things.

Character names are the same, but the main back story and everything else is very different (and more complicated). Definitely more dark & gory so more for adults than children where as the first one was more family-friendly. Don't get me wrong though - it has some really cool moments! And he does look pretty awesome once he's henshin-ed :) (eventually)

But it feels like the fight scenes and the actual characters were much much better & stronger in the original series...even if it was 30-35 years ago!

Nothing like the original. Everything is different. The only thing that's the same is the names. It had so much potential being adult themed but they messed it up. You would expect it to be different with at least the story line the same. NOPE! If you want to watch it, don't expect it to be ANYTHING like the original. Just pretent you're a kid that's watching a new kamen rider that just came out.

Also the fighting? Trash! Nowadays you'd expect fight scenes to have adapted. Not this one. Im TELLING YOU. The old kamen rider was a million times better than this. But like I said, if you watch it, watch it like it's its own Kamen Rider series.

As an original black fan i feel really disappointed with this show, i know they tried to modernized the story which is alright for me, but the problem is the story is just too deviated from the original, even the main conflict and main focus is too different from the og, it's even better if it's introduced as different title rather than used kamen rider black as basis

secondly there's lot of wasted opportunity that they fail two show like the character bonding and the.lack of battle hopper.or the bike action in general

and the battle scene feels lack as well, they're gore and cool indeed but it just only last for several early and couple of last episode,, even the show barely have the iconic technique like rider punch and rider kick

lastly there's lot of plot hole that should be explained better, and the story itself feels liket hey're trying too hard to be dark and convoluted while in fact it's not really that deep if you paying attention

as for the positive side, the costume is actually cool and the action scene although it's not that much but it's "okay" for me.
