Generic means bland, a pretty-boy. He resembles Kenshin in that he's wearing his costume and has his hair long, but other than that he doesn't scream 'Kenshin' to me at all. We haven't heard him speak or act though, so from this short footage we can't judge his performance, but so far I'm just not feeling anything. However, every trailer that never shows the main actor speaking is actually hiding a bad performance, and ultimately a bad film. I.e - The Last Airbender, etc, etc. So my hopes for this film aren't high sadly.   "I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |

Let us not put the cart before the horse there DarkMorpher-san. Who knows what will come out in this version. Either it will make or break the fans' expectation or otherwise a third option. And one more thing...  Courtesy of Soukichi Narumi (Kouji Kikkawai) aka Kamen Rider Skull... who will be Ryoutarou Nogami/ Kamen Rider Den-O (Takeru Sato) Himura Kenshin's opponent Jinei Udoh.  |

Uhh....Jesus Erm. How are they going to pull off a small red headed man screaming HITEN MITSURUGI STYLEE!!! With an actual person, and make it not look utterly silly? Oh this will be fun. This film better not suck, I hope to Christ it doesn't. DON'T MAKE ME KILL MY CHILDHOOD ANY MORE! Don't do what that Dragon Ball film done to me. Please. |

I always though that Rurouni Kenshin would be good as an live action move. If done right it could be better then the anime. |

http://youtu.be/BpgmbCdM9HM my review of it outside the theater. try to imagine a samurai movie version of the live action initial d. they try to force a lot of material into this movie and it kind of gets lost what its using. its more stye over substance. the action is very well done. not over the top. not too gimmicky. the guy who plays kenshin does a good job. kaoru was great. yahiko is useless. sano is just forced into the movie with no proper build up what so ever. hes there just for the sake of being there. saito is kind of underrated in this movie. jin-e is an underdeveloped villain. and the music is shit in this movie |

Anyone know where I might be able to download it? (Been reading bad reviews, thought about waiting for it to be in good quality, but currently don't really care, might as well get it over with) |

Aww, live-action adaptations are always not better than the original anime. The film's gonna be shown in our local theater sometime next month and I'm excited to watch it, regardless of bad reviews. Nevertheless, I don't think this will ruin my impression of Rurouni Kenshin.  |

I hate to break all of you haters out there but I saw this movie sometime this month and I was satisfied by this a lot. The acting wise was superb, the choreography's top-notch, the plot was great and the casting did NOT FAIL. |

I'm 20 minutes into this film and all I'm thinking is: "holy crap why does nearly every modern day Japanese film look like a TV soap opera?" And every main character looks 20 years old! What a disappointment. "I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
