This is the best of the trilogy. The "Empire Strikes Back" of the three.
Rushed to a Laughable Degree, Worth Avoiding
by Beirībaka
I watched Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X when I was a kid and enjoyed it a great deal, so when I found out that the show had been adapted into a trilogy, I was very interested and bought the first one (Origins) and really liked it. My brother bought this one, and after watching it, we both agree it was pretty awful.
The story goes at a 1-2-3 ADHD pace and because of how fast everything went by my brother and I ended up laughing during the serious scenes due to how abrupt everything felt. Nothing about any of the acting stood out, though some of the costumes looked very silly and the sets were distractingly fake at times. I wouldn't call it terrible, but I definitely wouldn't call it good.
In short, I don't recommend this movie, especially for how much it costs. Rurouni Kenshin: Origins is a better purchase.
Phenomenal If You Can Keep Up
by wyvern13
Now that five live action movies are in the Rurouni Kenshin series, a real look at these well-regarded releases can be had. These are fast paced stories. This movie runs and never stops for a breath. The end result achieves excellence if you can keep up.
Kyoto Inferno covers the first half of the Shishio storyline. A few characters were cut and some battles have been modified compared to the anime and manga. The vibe wasn't sacrificed. The fights are insanely good. All five films in this live action series can boast of amazing action. My closest film comparison would be The Sword of Doom, a true cinema classic.
I watched the subbed version and came away with the sense that I'd attended a high quality stage play. I would even call this live action series akin to Shakespeare. The story is unassumingly complex while also being unabashedly heartfelt.
