It's Okay

I am a long time fan of tokusatsu, giant robots, giant monsters. All of it. Power Ranger, Super Sentai, Godzilla, Pacific Rim, I live for that. I know the characters Silver Kamen and Red Baron, but I never watched the shows they are from, so I cannot judge the accuracy, but it was entertaining.

Now, I watched it dubbed, and the dub was not the best, but nothing that I couldn't handle, as I have seen many poorly done dubs, so this isn't even in the top ten, or top fifty for that matter. But it felt like some of the voice actors were either not going the distance, or they were trying too hard. Now, I would rather the latter of the two, because it is a giant robot movie, so I say go crazy.

The pacing is kind of underwhelming. The film is pretty short, but the action scenes are only at the end, and really doesn't excell at what it could have. Hindsight is 20/20, but if they would have gotten a few more actors for Silver Kamen to spar with throughout the film would have helped with the pacing issue, and maybe expanding on the damage done with the mech fight could have gave it more awe. This is an issue that many people had with the 2017 Power Rangers film, but that at least had fun characters to watch grow.

They also could have gone further with the violence. At the beginning, someone has their eyes popped out, but we never have anything like that again. It had the harsh swearing, which was jarring. It seemed as if they wanted to make a movie for mid to late teens, but the excessive swearing makes me think otherwise. That might be a dubbing thing, I don't know, but if they wanted an R-rated action film, they should have embraced the ridiculousness, and gone full splatter. Maybe it was a budget issue, but they should have either went with the lighthearted teen film, or violent romp.

If they do the follow up movie involving Iron King, I think they might be able to fix these issues. More destruction, and make the mechs feel as giant as they are. Let Silver Mask have his time to shine. Let him go crazy. Have an army for him to fight. Hopefully the budget of the next one will be increased so they can make that happen.

What I appreciate about this film is that I know I am never going to get a big budget live-action rendition of these more obscure tokusatsu characters, so I am happy to see more independent film groups make them. It might not be perfect, but to have a group of people show love to these more unknown characters brings me a smile.

Give it a shot. It isn't too long, and it is entertaining enough to satisfy a temporary mecha itch that needs to be scratched.

Leaves you wondering

About a lot of things, like what else you could be doing with your life and why did the dude in the silver suit wear the same bandage over his suit for five years?

Fun!

This remake of the 1970s Japanese TV series Shiruba Kamen (Silver Mask) and Supa Robotto Reddo Baron (Super Robot Red Baron) takes the heroes from both - an armored bionic superhero and a red giant robot - and has them fight aliens to save Earth and prevent the extinction of mankind.

In the year 2050, life as we know it is gone on Earth. No, not just the COVID-19 we're dealing with now, but the Killgis have used their giant robot Black Baron to terraform our planet and make it just like their planet. The Kasuga family travel back in time with the plans to make their own robot, a device that shows them who is an alien, psychic powers and the Silver Mask suit, which is soon given to a scientist's pit fighting brother.

If you're a fan of the Senkosha heroes like The Samurai, Moonlight Mask, Kousoku Esper and Yusei Oji, you'll be happy when Goro Kirishima, the hero of Iron King, shows up at the end to warn that the Shiranui are coming to Earth. Here's to more crossover films like this, as I had a blast watching it.

I like that the aliens chose Earth because we were going to destroy ourselves anyway. This is the kind of mindless - I say that in a good way - giant robot punching magic that Japan does so well.
