Makoto, an assassin who once was contracted by the government, has since become obsessed with tearing it down. Formerly, Kenshin was mainly concerned with protecting Kaoru, but the stakes are now higher as he struggles to protect the nation itself. Written by Carl Lepeltier
I am long time fan of Rurouni Kenshin and I love the 1st movie. Here are the good/bad from this movie:
+ Just like the 1st movie, character portrayals (including costumes, fighting poses, characteristics) are very correct, if you know the original story, you will immediately scream "Oh, I know that guy" when someone new appears.
+ Fighting scenes are incredibly good. The right usage of CGI mixed with practical martial arts and sword fighting techniques.
+ The right atmosphere is built up against the villains.
