I love the adaptation of the characters, but not so much of the plot. It became slow and boring and as previously mentioned in another comment, kind of disconnected. You keep watching because the characters are very entertaining, and it was amazing how well they converted the fighting techniques from the anime and manga to live action. Very impressive!

i would say its a good movie but got a slow start. was starting to check the time remaining and i found out that i had an hour left of the movie. the last fights was really worth it tho.

love the overacting of the characters and how their characters and voices and the music just fits perfectly together in many scenes.

its a good watch IMO, cant wait for the next movie..... going to checkout the Anime for sure!

Good movie, but I feel it should have been a little shorter. The choreography was totally insane!

I would say the movie is a fairly good live-action adaptation of Kenshin altought it never steps above being a blockbuster. They went with a rewrite of the first arc where they leave out some characters like Aoshi which was a bummer. I'm not sure how much people can enjoy the movie without prior knowledge of the manga or the tv-show. Certainly feels like they made the movie for fans and that's fine by me.

(btw: Live-action "Oro" does not translate well..)

We all know the track record with converting popular anime to movies has... not been great. So you'll understand when I say how surprised I was that RK: Origins was a quality film. The film makers did a pretty good job of condensing the story into a coherent plot, albeit the pacing is a bit uneven, but not to the point the film was unwatchable.

The casting and cinematography were particularly strong. Fans of the show can easily recognize their favorites and the fight scenes were GORGEOUS thanks in large part to some very solid choreography.

RK: Origins really surprised me. I came cause I'm a fan of the series, but I got a quality film. Definitely going to watch the next two.

Most of the things I'd critizise were already said. I didn't watch the anime for more than 2 or 3 episodes and didn't read more than 1 chapter... So I was kinda innocent to this one, although I am familiar with the rough story of it.
Oro doesn't translate, there are certain jumps in the story, which feel awkward and the movie shows sparse to no bonding between the characters...

The fights were well choreographed, but during the fight against Hannya (at least I think it was supposed to be him) I noticed some slight blurrings due to too much fastening of the battle...

Everything else aside, I still enjoyed the movie.
