Toei, 2003

Summary

Paradise Lost is an alternate take on the Faiz Story. The Orphenochs own the World! And 2000 or more humans are left living in it. Takumi has been found with amnesia only to have his memories knocked back into him from a mix of Mari and an attack from Psyga and the Riot Troopers. Kaibo, Kiba, and Youka are allies to the human liberators and help them. The human liberators no longer wish to be allies with them and for them to remain in contact because they fear that Kiba, Youka, and Kaido could become their enemy. Smart Brain sees the opportunity tricking Kiba and the others as they each become prey to the massive Arch Orphenoch. Kiba survives the attack but his principles change when Smart Lady disguises herself as Mari. The real Mari is captured by Riot Troopers they're led by the newest Rider, Psyga. Takumi leaves Keitaro at the village hoping to save him and keep him from becoming involved with the conflict. Faiz raids Smart Brain Super Coliseum where Mari is set to be publicly executed by the Arch Orphenoch. A massive fight ensues between Faiz and Psyga that takes place all over the premises. Upon the defeat of Psyga, another fighter emerges, Kiba. He has a new Driver Belt, the Omega Driver and uses it to become Oga. A huge drug out emotional fight ensues as former friends fight each other. Takumi becomes the Wolf Orphenoch and Kiba reverts to his Horse Orphenoch form in beast form. The two then henshin and their battle takes to a new level. Faiz utilizes for the 1st time the Faiz Blaster and succeeds in defeating Oga. Kiba's last stand protects Mari from the Arch Orphenoch and takes several hits and dies saving her. They both are now de-henshined, Kiba tells Takumi to continue his dream of humans and Orphenochs existing peacefully with one another.

Review and Comments:
This was my 1st time to see this incredibly awesome movie. I loved it! It was trully sad to see Kiba after watching his friends die. His pain was very great and could be felt. Mari and Keitaro always standing by Takumi and never giving up on him. That's what I call good friends right there! Awesome fights and awesome effects. If you have the means to see this movie PLEASE do so you won't regret it! I give Kamen Rider Faiz: Paradise Lost, 5 out of 5 stars! Look for my review of the Faiz TV Series coming soon!
