I enjoyed this part a lot, which is full of drama, action and excellent cinematography, the Roroni Kenshin movie series, which is an action-drama genre based on a famous anime series of the same name. Not to burn the events in the previous parts
My rating for the series is 10/10 without exaggeration, a great series, an enjoyable story, enthusiastic action, cinematography and directing, and there is no mistake.
Rest of the parts Rurouni Kenshin 2012 Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno 2014 Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends 2014 Rurouni Kenshin: The Final 2021 Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning 2021.

This was a really befitting end to a great franchise. It has a slower pace than the others and is actually more of a melodrama and love story than an action movie. When the action kicks in it is great though. Really good use of archive footage from previous films and it all kinds of brings the franchise together, explaining how our hero became who he is. Will genuinely miss these characters. Great movie, great cast, great cinematography and great story. Loved it.
The trust and betrayal ova are some of best work I've ever seen. So naturally I was comparing this live action to the ova and it comes very, very close. Actually the live action is outstanding. The pace and story buildup to music and sets are of high quality. This movie looks and feels like professional production. It's entertaining and also realistic. No over the top fake flaying through air nonsense. Perfect blend between action and drama. Definitely worth the watch.
Never seen the anime, but this series is gorgeous with great cinematography and story line. Well worth the watch, I'm a fan now might watch the anime too.
Kenshin live actions have been the best live actions ever and this last installment does not disappoint. Although they left out my favourite part of the OVA (the beginning, Hiko saving Shinta) they perfectly brought Kenshin to life. We will miss the man that makes it rain blood.
