I love the adaptation of the characters, but not so much of the plot. It became slow and boring and as previously mentioned in another comment, kind of disconnected. You keep watching because the characters are very entertaining, and it was amazing how well they converted the fighting techniques from the anime and manga to live action. Very impressive!

i would say its a good movie but got a slow start. was starting to check the time remaining and i found out that i had an hour left of the movie. the last fights was really worth it tho. love the overacting of the characters and how their characters and voices and the music just fits perfectly together in many scenes. its a good watch IMO, cant wait for the next movie..... going to checkout the Anime for sure!

Good movie, but I feel it should have been a little shorter. The choreography was totally insane!

I would say the movie is a fairly good live-action adaptation of Kenshin altought it never steps above being a blockbuster. They went with a rewrite of the first arc where they leave out some characters like Aoshi which was a bummer. I'm not sure how much people can enjoy the movie without prior knowledge of the manga or the tv-show. Certainly feels like they made the movie for fans and that's fine by me. (btw: Live-action "Oro" does not translate well..)

As manga adaptation usually go, this was not that bad. They managed to make a mix of several of the first story arcs without messing up too much with the characters. It still fells cramped though and a little forced, as if what was probably weeks in the manga is happening here in two days, which mak More
