AKA: Rurouni Kenshin 3
Genre: Samurai, Period, Action
Origin: Japan
Release date: September 13, 2014
Cast: Sato Takeru, Takao Emi, Fujiwara
Tatsuya and Kamiki Ryunosuke.
After surviving
the fall from the ship, Kenshin (Sato Takeru) wakes up at his old masters.
Remembering what had happened he wants to set out and find Kaoru (Takao Emi)
but is told that she couldn’t have survived 2 days in the water. Furious at
that fact and at Shishio (Fujiwara Tatsuya) for being responsible, Kenshin begs
his master to teach him the final technique so he can kill Shishio. Knowing
Shishio can’t fight more than 15 minutes due to his wounds, Kenshin wants to
bet everything on that final fight.
Shishio on the other
hand wants to repeat history by bombarding Tokyo and thanks to his intel finds
out that Kenshin is alive. So he gives the government a demand: if they label
Kenshin as a fugitive for the murders he did during the war and to get him
executed for them, he’ll stop the bombarding...
This movie is the
same quality as the previous one: awesome and well-acted. The only difference
is that this one has focus on the actual fighting. Yes the previous one had it
too, but the second one has more of an action vibe, rather than storyline. This
is probably the only negative part of the movie. But don't get me wrong this
does not make the movie bad: it's really good for a second part of one story, and
also it has one epic final battle. I just don't understand the final fight,
even if they did explain it - but that is just me. The cast is really great; I
really like how each character is portrayed - again quite honest to the manga,
which I appreciate.
To sum up: a really
great third movie of the trilogy.
