I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

This movie is an annual tradition from super sentai series, when the current series (2003's Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger) met it's predecessor (2002 sentai series, Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger). This kind of tradition begun with Gorangers Vs JAKQ (1976), and then OhRanger vs Kakuranger (1995) till now. The main rangers from Abaranger and Hurricanger are only three (Red, Yellow, Blue for each). It is a bit rarely in sentai series tradition. The two trios teams team-up in a movie. This is really exciting. You can see the cute Hurricane Blue and the pretty Abare Yellow in a scene ^_^. You'll also see the installation of all the rangers weapons (9 weapons) into an ultimate weapon. You also can see the Hurricangers and GoRaijers mecha came out from Abare Black's Brachio!. It's awesome. With the help of Abare Black, The GoRaijers, and mysterious appearance from Shurikanger, even though the Hurricangers mecha is beat by Abare Killer's mecha, the double trio can achieve their triumph.It's Dino Guts meet Ninja Spirits
