I've watched this movie yesterday, and this is one of the must see movie according to my opinion. If you have watched the previous Rurouni Kenshin, then you will already know the cast, its still the same crew. But, if you haven't watched the previous movie, it won't be hard to understand.
The cast is still Himura Kenshin, Kaoru, Shinosuke, Megumi and the yahiko the little boy. The enemy in this movie is Shishio, who battle along with kenshin during the Toba-Fumi war, but he was burned by the government official since the government tried to eliminate all of their third parties helper.
A very exciting movie, filled with actions from the start. This is much better from the previous Rurouni Kenshin. Takeru Satoh as Himura Kenshin really plays his character well, not only that he also shows how Kenshin really have the expertise of as a samurai. Shishio is one of the toughest enemy that Kenshin have, since he's not alone but also he has the the 10 swords as his soldiers.
Shishio tries to rule Japan in the new age, he killed so many government officials and police officers. One of the officials, Mr. Okubo came to Kenshin and ask his help to solve the problem, since they were unable to defeat Shishio or his accomplice. At first, Kenshin hesitated to help, but then he sees how Mr. Okubo killed in a train and brutally stab in his carriage.
Shishio was indeed a brutal man, with his soldiers he tries to rebel and conquer Japan. At one of the fight between Kenshin and Sojiro (one of Shishio accomplice), his sword was broken. The Sword made by the famous swordsman was torn into two. So, Kenshin tries to find the swordsman, but he end up finding the swordsman has died. The back blade samurai he has finally replaced by the true back blade given by the swordsman son.
The story was so great, you could never turn your eye from the movie. Keishi Ohtomo directed this movie brilliantly, the movie flawlessly pour in your eyes. Just small things that bothers me is, the connection of Aoshi's anger to Kenshin, it seems kind of overrated. I don't know if Keishi Ohtomo will show it in Rurouni Kenshin The Legend Ends, the next sequel of this movie, but somehow Aoshi seems misplaced for me.
The scene, the picture quality, the actors, they were all beautiful, nothing is missed in the detail. This is gotta be, one of Japan best movie in my opinion. Although, I'm not a Japanes movie viewer, but I definitely won't forget this movie.
A good start in 2015, I am longing for the sequel now. Hopefully could watch it soon, since I'm still wondering about how Shishio ends and why the title is The Legend Ends. So Excited!!
I really recommend you guys to see the movie, not telling all the details in this review since I don't want to ruin your imagination and expectation. I give this movie 4/5 stars!
