Kamen Rider W: A-Z the GaiaMemories of Fate

Definitely impressed by "Kamen Rider W: A-Z the GaiaMemories of Fate." While most would write it off as a pointless Tokusatsu movie, it's actually relevant to the plot of the series and is a very good film in its own right. The action/stunts were amazing and not overladen with special effects, the relationships between characters good and bad, familiar and new, are dynamic, it shows the protagonists' heroic resolve to fight despite powerlessness, the main villain, while a little bland in my opinion, is a very legitimate threat while his goon squad give us a look at what the hero's powers could look like when used for evil, and the climax was amazing while cheesy with the whole clap-if-you-believe trope behind it.
Catchphrase of the series. All hardboiled detectives should quote this yes?
