I won't summarize the movie any farther but theįirst two scenes do a wonderful job setting up the movie. I would like to point out that the director paid attention to details many modern movie makers are forgetting! From what I could tell, everyone's sword etiquette was taken seriously. When Kenshin is sitting down, you better believe his sword is on his right side and he sheathes his sword correctly. The action scenes were great with only three or four moves that were truly impossible and obviously wire work. The action was BEAUTIFUL, exactly what I expect from this director and series.Īnother great point is that the costuming is AMAZING! Do not expect Kenshin to stay in his classic red and white, he changes OFTEN.
Not only that but there are so many beautiful outfits! The attention to detail is stunning. All of the yukata people are wearing are period appropriate and this entire movie is costume porn. Sejiro? Batshit insane, just like he should be ^_^ The only thing I noticed that may peeve someone is that Yahiko uses a bokuto instead of a shinai for his 'sword'.įurther on this, EVERYONE looks like their manga counterpart, 100%. While the movie does try to give you an extended sense of time, it does not really manage to do it. The movie starts in winter and ends in summer (I am guessing, there were no hard dates posted besides the years). Kenshin is very classical Kenshin the entire movie and has a beautifully choreographed play fight scenes with Masao and had everyone in the theater laughing. Misao ended up being more of a token comic relief, just like in the manga, but when the fighting came down to it she was badass. On the other hand, I feel like Karou and Yahiko were a bit depowered from the manga which disappointed me. That is not to say Karou did not kick a LOT of ass, just not as well as I had always thought of her as doing.
The music was a disappointment to me because there were so many modern instruments and melodies.
I really think the movie would have benefited from having significantly more classic Japanese music to really take you back. #Dailymotion rurouni kenshin kyoto inferno movie #Dailymotion rurouni kenshin kyoto inferno movie.
