Oro?Here's the movie/anime/novel/manga fan again ready to report as Rurouni Kenshin paves the way for an ultimate action style of the century.
One word to describe the action of the second installment of the movie is..."amazing." But that's just for the action part. We missed the romantic part.
Why so?
I don't know if it's just me or simply...ME? Whatever! My point is that when I watched the anime series and read the manga, I felt the pain of being departed from the one you love through both Kenshin and Kaoru but in the movie, I believed they focused too much on the action and forgot that Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X is after all a romantic action.
Maybe there's just something missing with the acting of both Takei-dono and Satoh-san so I didn't feel their infatuation or just like what I've said, it's just me. I am not really good in acting but I've always been into movies that I notice not just the story but the way actors portray their roles.
Takeru Satoh did a great job in portraying the legendary Battosai of the Shogunate period. Slashing, kicking and punching his way out of trouble with his kind words and wisdom he imparts to the fallen warriors. I can say the same to Munetaka Aoki and Emi Takei as well as to the other casts whom I honestly don't know (Gomenasai!)
In the end..I think I'm in love with this guy. Hehe
All in all, unlike how i feel usually. I'm not disappointed with the film adaptation of my favorite manga. I admired it the way I admired the manga itself. I thank the casts and crew for giving justice to an old "hero" of mine.
Oh! by the way, I love the kabuki guy from the beginning of the movie. It made me laugh so hard while I was watching it with other fans. Hahahaha. Silly me.
