and forcibly converted into a powerful cyborg, Hongo escapes before being reprogrammed as an agent of the group, instead using his newfound powers to take down its forces. Kidnapped by the terrorist organization S.H.O.C.K.E.R. Like that show, it follows motorcyclist Takeshi Hongo (Sosuke Ikematsu). Helmed by Hideaki Anno ( Evangelion, Shin Godzilla, Shin Ultraman-“shin” meaning “new” or “true” in Japanese), this revamps the 1971 TV series Kamen Rider. If you’re sick of cookie-cutter Hollywood superhero movies, then this ground-up reboot of one of Japan’s most beloved heroes deserves your attention.
