KR Dragon Knight
I have just watched the first three episodes of Kamen Rider Dragon Knight aka the American adaptation of KR Ryuki.
*The characters saying Kamen Rider! while they are doing the henshin thing made me want to throw things at the monitor.
*The extra cg effects for the henshin looks over done.
*The acting is flatter than a piece of paper.
*The goddamn female characters are more annoying. Okay, fine so the female Rider has not been introduced yet since it's the 1st 3 eps but damn. Is it so hard for them to make some decent female side characters?
*The fight scenes were alright at least and the music just average. I know they used some stock footage from the original Ryuki series. The added extra fight scenes were not that bad.
*I had to fast forward to some scenes in the episodes because they were just boring.
*Somehow I'm unable to sympathize or simply connect with the characters at all. Maybe it's because of the acting or what, but I can't feel anything for them. I'm supposed to pity Kit for losing his dad, but it's just not there. Knowing Len's motive for fighting didn't even enter my mind. If they show it or not, it's like it would not matter at all.
*It was better than the American version of Black RX at least. I still have nightmares over that series.
Did I feel like I was actually watching a Kamen Rider series while viewing it? No. It lacks that certain something that's always there when I watch a KR series maybe it be Den-O, Kabuto, Blade, Decade, etc.
Am I going to watch the remaining episodes? The moment Mark Dacascos shows up in the show, I'd bear and grin through the episodes he is in.
