| Is it just me or Hollywood is running out of fresh ideas and they turning towards anime? I mean apart from this one they got Bleach too. |
 |
| 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) |
| 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. |

| Even without Aoshi this movie didn't disappoint. The movie's plot might not be as strong as it could be (still a pretty good plot) and a couple of things were excluded as it could be but that is understandable as the film has a 2 hour time limit to work with. I was really happy with the cast as they brought all the characters to life even those that weren't fully developed. Now to the film's strongest point. The Cinematography. Damn!!! Was it epic. The cinematography of the fight scenes were nothing short of top notch. Some of the finest action scenes I have seen in a while. Takeru Sato take a bow. He really nailed the action scenes. His agility, speed, and gracefulness with a sword really had me squealing sometimes. No one could have played Kenshin better 9/10 is my rating for this awesome movie. Hollywood should take some notes. This is how you make a quality live action adaptation of a manga |
| Saw the movie today and I enjoyed it. They covered most of the first arc pretty well. The character development wasn't very good. There was so much ground to cover that they decided to omit that department, which I felt was pretty sad. We should of seen more of Kenshin's past as well. I hope if there ever is a sequel that they cover his relationship with Tomoe. It would be so awesome, as we'd enter Kyoto arc. Also, no Aoshi :( With that said, the fight choreography was excellent. It's one of the best that I've seen! Also, the actors where all cast excellently, although I feel that the actor who played kenshin could of been more agressive when he needed to. He felt a bit soft most of the time. Anyway, for a 2 hour movie, the movie was enjoyable, but the source material is of course better, since it's alot deeper than the condensed 2 hour version. Here's hoping for a sequel! |
