it depends on people, like most of the people just love R/B and some others was just talking garbage, the same thing applied to ginga s movie and series, but when we talked about orb's movie, that is something even worse, it's not like his series was that great, to the point it can be considered the greatest like most fan did, but again, his movie is like a big lie Yeah I think my issue with the Orb movie is two-fold.

My first issue is that there's really no stakes. The villains are all incompetent morons who just happen to have Bullton's fusion card and a decently powerful monster in the form of Deavorick at their disposal. I found it really hard to get invested in Malunu and her cohorts as the bads, especially since Ultra films have given us much bigger and cooler minions like Belial, Etelgar, and the Heisei Alien Bat, as well as awesome new monsters like Grand King, U-Killersaurus, Scorpiss, King of Mons, and Giga Chimera. The Orb movie has none of that. I like Deavorick, but he's nowhere near as awesome as the monsters I previously mentioned.

My other issue is that things just kinda happen. Malunu gets the Dark Ring...because? Ginga and Victory are just kinda there, Galactron is rebuit....because, Zero only shows up at the beggining and just leaves, Seven appears out of nowhere just because 50th anniversary, and at the very end Orb just has Emerium Slugger now.

Of course, one could argue the movie's real purpose is just to debut and show off Orb Trinity. But it doesn't even do a good job of that! Due to the plot nessecitating Seven show up to save the day, Orb Trinity ends up looking pitifully weak for  a supposed super form and the way it comes about is incredibly contrived.
