good movie adaptation

Because I like the animation "Rurouni Kenshin" very much, I have never started the movie version. I have watched the animation twice, the last time I should have watched it 4 years ago. The theatrical version is good, I thought of looking for it.
When I watched the stills, I felt that Kamiya Kaoru's shape was good, and it matched the little girl in the animation. Kenshin was a bit old, compared with the teenagers in the animation. In the film, Takeshi Sato's performance is still very good. Kenshin is a person with a heavy past. It's really too upright and doesn't feel heavy enough. Takeshi Sato can basically perform Kenshin's happy and deep feelings, but he doesn't think it's too artificial to switch. .
supporting role. . . It feels like a Chinese actor. Guan Liu feels the same as Huang Bo, and Saito feels like Bi Fujian. Zuanosuke's broadsword was too heavy, and he couldn't even hold it. Yahiko's clothes are always dirty.
The script of the movie is well written, that is, the experience of Kenshin is preserved, and new plots have been added, as well as the Happy Kendo Museum. The plot is more compact. Of course, the final fight is indispensable, but I can't see where the reverse blade is hurt.
All in all, it feels like a good work of manga animation turned into a movie.

    Not bad, better than the preview

    Originally, I thought that turning this comic into a movie would definitely kill people, but after reading it...it turned out to be quite nice! I think the adaptation is not bad, the main contradictions are concentrated in the limited field, except for individual characters, the casting is also well coordinated between the comics and the three-dimensional, and the action scenes are also considered well-intentioned. The only complaint is that a mature character like Gao Hehui is looking for Yuu Aoi for Mao, do you think you can't recognize him just by drawing eyeliner!

    Kaoru Kamiya: KENSHIN, DON'T! Don't become a manslayer again... Please don't kill him... Kenshin... For those who died by your blade... And for everyone whose life you have saved... Please don't kill him... A sword that doesn't kill... A sword that can protect... For this new age of peace... Isn't that what you fought for?
