And the best is yet to come as Kenshin Himura will still battle it out against Aoshi Shinomori, the Juppon Katana (with emphasis on Soujiro Seta), and ultimately Makoto Shishio. It had momentous fight scenes its hard to choose which one is the best.

The movie incorporates all essentials of a Rurouni Kenshin om the speed, to the agility, to the technique. The fight scenes were well-choreographed it looked like they were literally dancing. The soundtrack was very, very registrable and consistent that it will give the eerie feeling. There's room for error but one cannot discount how the movie successfully made a good product.
They made some deviations from the source material, but they're harmless nonetheless. Don't take that too literally of course, but for someone who's a fan of the series, I can safely say that they did justice. The movie was perfect in all its aspects. Everyone gave justice to the roles the were playing. The most dangerous member of Juppon Katana (Shishio's hired assassins), Soujiro Seta, was brought to life courtesy of Ryunosuke Kamiki (probably with the most well-recognized filmography in this group).

He gives out not only the Kenshin physique, he knows how to give the Kenshin aura.the playful yet skillfull Battousai. Even Makoto Shishio's ruthlessness, albeit covered in plaster, was very visible. The movie gave life to the characters which we only once saw in animated form. If there's anything which cemented this film's success as an adaptation, it would have to be on the character actors.
This burden mainly fell on Munetaka Aoki (Sanosuke Sagara) and fortunately, he was successful to elicit some laughs. However, with Kyoto Inferno, they have pulled it through. The manga/series was injected with comical scenes and lines and as much as the first one tried, it failed. One aspect where the first movie failed, in my opinion, is its failed attempt at comedy. I have to attribute it to the fact that the movie already employed the most celebrated villain of Rurouni Kenshin, *drumroll* Makoto Shishio. I have some complaints with the first Rurouni Kenshin but this movie finally answered me. I feel like i could show this movie to people that have never seen the anime, and they would still love it. And Sojiro is perfectly depicted in his psychopath childish assassin persona. Sanosuke is as obnoxious and lovable as ever. And the same can be said of the remaining characters. Himura is perfectly portrayed, with all of his goofy nuances, deep honor, shame, guilt, and killer instinct. And the opening scene of Shishio and Saito is tremendous. I could easily notice on one of the big fights (wont spoil it for you), the still burning ashes floating around the scene, giving me instant flashbacks to the anime. None of that "shaking camera" BS that Hollywood vomits on us. But shifting right back to some cold heart determined killer that awarded him his nickname. They even have that goofiness Himura always showed whenever he was surrounded by the ones he loved. If you grew up watching the anime you will be pleased, as it brings to life the right personality of the characters. I was expecting a really bad adaptation, as it has been done before.
