It's great that they actually did a live-action movie, you gotta give credit for that!

Non-biased standpoint, this movie wasn't really that good.
Rurouni Kenshin fan, it wasn't really that bad.

Somehow it felt like this movie lacked a good budget and/or director, there was potential for it to become outrageous hit but the movie wasn't paced well, nor was it clarifying, coupled with awkward acting.

The story was pretty expected, for those who knew the anime/manga plot. Nothing to really complain about.
Can't really say anything on the Dialogue as i cannot understand japanese but from the english subs that was available, the dialogue could have been better.
The Animation was excellently done, fight scenes was excellent!
Entertainment on the whole, it didn't really deliver. This was mostly due to the poor pacing and somewhat poor/forceful acting.

Anyone who is a true Kenshin shouldn't miss this one.
