RUROUNI KENSHIN KYOTO INFERNO VOSTFR MOVIE

There are lots of laughs in this movie and all the actors did a superb job holding true to the source material. For ALMOST the entire movie there is no point where you could point and say вЂњCGI!!!вЂќ which I think is really important for this genre. Overall, I really loved the movie and felt so bad for the couple sitting next to be because I was quizzing the guy next to me on what it said on screen when kanji came up. While there were some classic instruments and scores, there was also a lot of jarring modern music that brought me out of the movie. I really think the movie would have benefited from having significantly more classic Japanese music to really take you back. The music was a disappointment to me because there were so many modern instruments and melodies. 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. On the other hand, I feel like Karou and Yahiko were a bit depowered from the manga which disappointed me. Masao 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.

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. The movie starts in winter and ends in summer (I am guessing, there were no hard dates posted besides the years). While the movie does try to give you an extended sense of time, it does not really manage to do it. 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'.ДЇurther on this, EVERYONE looks like their manga counterpart, 100%. All of the yukata people are wearing are period appropriate and this entire movie is costume porn.

Not only that but there are so many beautiful outfits! The attention to detail is stunning. The action was BEAUTIFUL, exactly what I expect from this director and series.ДЄnother great point is that the costuming is AMAZING! Do not expect Kenshin to stay in his classic red and white, he changes OFTEN. The action scenes were great with only three or four moves that were truly impossible and obviously wire work. When Kenshin is sitting down, you better believe his sword is on his right side and he sheathes his sword correctly. 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. I won't summarize the movie any farther but the first two scenes do a wonderful job setting up the movie. When we come upon the Kenshin gumi they are watching Kabuki in Asakasa (the historical center of kabuki) and boy is it funny! This I like for the comedy of the scene. This scene also sets up one of the reasons I really like the series: The action, and the entire movie really, are very reminiscent of old Japanese samurai movies. You are left with NO doubts about exactly who the big bad is. The movie opens in a glorious, if a bit cliche, horror movie like set with Hajime leading his troop of soldiers into what is revealed to be Shishio's self designed version of hell. The movie covers from the start of the Kyoto arc until the journey to Edo. Well, I could understand it in my head a lot more than the first one but the point remains that there were no English subtitles. I also canвЂ™t get too specific anyways as I only understood the movie in my heart, not my head. Any spoilers would only be in referencing to the manga and will be in their own section. or torture you, depending on how you wish to take it. Since I know many of you are anxious to see this movie I thought I would share my feelings on the movie to whet your appetites for this amazing movie. Sadly, work got in the way so I went the next day. Since I live in Japan I had the privilege to be able to watch this movie on opening day.
