Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

DJ This is a brave undertaking of the beloved series "Rurouni Kenshin" or "Samurai X".First of all, the martial arts in this movie is terrific. You can see many elements of kendo, ken-jutsu, judo, knife fighting, iaido, etc. It would be awesome to meet the fight coordinators of this movie and see what they really know.The jokes were also OK. Not too overboard, but if you watched the series, you would get it.The casting was also OK. Perhaps some characters seemed shorter than you've expected (or their hairstyles were shorter than you expected). But for the most part, most of the characters stayed true to the video series.If you have never seen the series, you can still enjoy this movie for the adventure, the historical/political situations, the action/fight scenes, and the comraderie amongst the struggles.

Maria Ondina This was a great movie to watch! As fan of the anime, I must say it was a delight to see our beloved characters come in to life. However one must remark how amazing the fight scenes were. I found myself rewinding several of them in detail.Kudos to the director and the choreography team - for they provided us realistic sword fights! It must have been quite the task to deliver the fictional "Hiten Mitsurugi" style to an actual life-action movie.So... Why isn't this samurai movie more popular among action fans? One doesn't need to read the manga beforehand in order to appreciate and enjoy this gem! Really, it stands on its own:)

edjofsanity If you are a fan of the manga or the anime, this movie will put a smile on your face. If you have never heard of Kenshin before but love action and swordplay, this fun movie will not let you down. Being a fan of the manga and the anime myself I was very skeptical of this film. The potential for it to be another overly cheesy, cartoonish live action movie was in the extreme. Thank goodness I was extremely wrong. What a joy it was to see this done right. The characters were presented in ways that were easily recognizable with the actors giving them just the right amount of charm. The action scenes were exciting: camera work and lighting superb. Plus, they didn't resort to showing the same punch or slash over and over within the fight (which is so overdone in Japanese cinema!) Can't wait for more!

Richard Simmons I personally enjoyed the Rurouni Kenshin anime that came out in 1996, it was interesting, it had character and it was fun to watch. When I found out that a film was being made of it, I was excited, I saw some trailers for it on Youtube and it looked epic, it almost looked as if the anime had actually come to life. I then eventually watched the movie and I was not wrong, although it got some things wrong like the fact that Kenshin and Sanosuke were supposed to have two fights before becoming friends, I also liked what they did with Kanryu, making him seem like the kind of guy you don't want to mess with on a bad day, and the film's main antagonist was great, although some things were missing such as the seemingly permanent evil grin and some things were a bit wrong such as saying that he was the fake Battousai when in all actuality in the anime he was someone from Kenshin's past. But overall it was a great movie and I can't wait for it's sequel.
