Rurouni Kenshin (live action)
Hmm, a quick search didn't turn up any discussion threads for this.
If there is already one, please disregard and close the thread. Trailer: Posters:

Hey, Kamen Rider Den-O guy playing Kenshin! Hahahahahah!
That said, I am quite impressed with how detailed Kenshin is portrayed in the film. They even include the infamous "Oro"! I am just a tad bit worried about the number of characters. How much plot and characters are they planning to cram in this movie?

The bad thing is the plot of Kenshin is not so complicated so the underwhelming choreography will just make the movie worse.
Choreography is a very important point specially in movies like these, I dislike the whole; we fight inhuman such as the grass running scene and the slow jump from extreme height with obvious wires in the trailer it makes it a lot less real. A proper choreography could really lift this up to amazing standards but alas they didn't do that. It looks like a general tv series; predictable plot, fun characters that are maybe a little over the top and extremely predictable, medium fight scenes. I like the color grading in shots but that as well is nothing special and over used in movies and tv series. |

on contary HK movies usually has good fighting / action scene but really bad storywise. still movie quality look better than I thought, even though the fight scene is a bit silly, well not like the fight in the manga version was any better. |

I can't deny that wuxia films have some good action scenes, but most of the time (me speaking from experience. I grew up watching Chinese movies), you are uncertain if you are watching the movie for the action, or for the plot. I would like both, but unfortunately, Chinese wuxia films often do not balance them well enough. Good action, but very cliche and poorly-written plot and underdeveloped characters.

People talking about Wukia Pian like they are good or something is hilarious. Those films look like a videogame.
These are good films: Ran http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbbfDntoRRk Harakiri http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRp1tUHpWNs Seven Samurai http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNqQXC8Tv8U Yojimbo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzFq5hOlZ5s Rashomon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCZ9TguVOIA Sansho Dayo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=076MrMynyak Tasogare Seibei http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sEdxb3I3dk Ame Agaru http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnh7l1pngU8 Kenshin is a good character and you could do so much more with him and his relationship with Kaoru. When the characters behave like real people the fight scenes are more dramatic as well, you don't need 20 minutes of choreographies to tell that a character is a skilful swordsman. For example: Ame Agaru Fight Scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvNCznBhSlE The Black Hood fight scene with Tomisaburo Wakayama http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJlDeAwM8-c Twilight Samurai duel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuX3B9OFiLA Gohatto sparring scenes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekCiMFNLU5o Sometimes less is more. |
