Not bad, but not nearly as good as Ghost proper (which is great btw!)
*pulled from my LB review*
Retains some of Ghost's energy in a quaint story about the world of heroes in some afterlife-esque place where Makoto's dad got stuck at during his research on the Eyecons and all I guess, and Alain's other brother, Argos tries to collect 100 Heroic Eyecons (to the main series' 15 or so) to turn everyone into ghosts for immortality presumably because he failed to get himself revived earlier. Argos' plan is kind of intriguing in that sense, and the family connections with Makoto and Alain here hope to add relevance, but it all feels kinda barebones, needed way more fleshing out.
The pacing is also pretty uneven, and it concludes with some weird plot devices and yet another Takeru death & revival, but it feels especially unbelievable with this movie's inherent pseudo-canon side-story nature, but yet they still try to sell you on Takeru's noble sacrifice and all, even closing on the dramatic reveal of his revival then the credits roll.
Feels like your average Rider movie with the typical shortcomings and all, but I think the criticisms are a bit overblown (given Ghost's pre-existing bad rep among the other entries of the franchise, but is one of my favourites), and again, still has some of Ghost's charisma, sense of fun and all to make it digestible.
It's fine; I was amused.
