We’re starting off the new year with a review of Shin Kamen Rider (2023), the third film in Hideaki Anno’s Shin series of remakes of classic Tokusatsu franchises.  This latest entry, with a plot heavily inspired by Shotaro Ishinomori’s original Kamen Rider manga, finds man turned cyborg Takeshi Hongo (Sosuke Ikematsu), as the titular Kamen Rider, squaring off against the villainous organization SHOCKER and its rogues’ gallery of evil animal cyborgs; along for the ride is his beautiful but icy partner Ruriko Midorikawa (Minabi Hanabe) and a mysterious rival Kamen Rider (Tasuku Emoto) whose allegiance is unknown.
