I thought the movie transformation actually intentionally or unintentionally remained within the established rules of the canon. When I first saw the transformation, I was reminded of Akamaru's transformation in the Chuunin Exams - skin changing to red, user obtains a more savage appearance AND it's done by digesting a chakra fruit/soldier pill. Now, again, I don't know if Kishimoto did this intentionally (probably not) but it made sense.

The manga transformation - not so much. Asides from the unexplained phenomenon of his dojutsu becoming golden, it also didn't make any sense what with all the strange venom goo covering him in different parts and all. I was actually expecting Momoshiki to gain a new power when his Rinnegan went gold.
