Because the most famous boss in the original works, it looks better than the first one, just like the relationship between "Batman Origins" and "Batman Dark Knight". In terms of casting, in fact, all of them are good except for Sagara. Sagara is a little too lackluster and stupid, and some are not worthy of being the second-in-command of Kenshin. The most successful ones in this film are Zhi Zhixiong and Sojiro. Zhi Zhixiong let Fujiwara, who has played too many gloomy roles, really fit, but he is not too tall, and Shenmu came out of the original book. Technology does not perform well outside of it. Cang Zi is a little old. The depiction of the footsteps in the film is similar to the flying eaves and walls of domestic martial arts. I hope that the action guide can find another way to create a Japanese-style description of light work. In addition, there are not too many close-ups of special actions, the fight looks good but dull, and Kenshin's turn around and hit people feels more shocking. And Kenshin, you draw your sword in such a handsome posture, but you still slash from behind the enemy, you are a positive character anyway.
The sparring between Kenshin and Shenmu is quite exciting. There are some shadows in Jet Li's version of "Huo Yuanjia", such as facing down to avoid horizontal cuts. Of course, when fighting, I forgot that they were holding Japanese swords, not Chinese ones. sword. Donnie Yen's double kick in the air also appeared, but unfortunately it was a ninja girl. At the end of the film, the "fascinated man", the crew is really fighting, although everyone knows who he is, the role is also well chosen, and the setting without the cloak is closer to reality.
There are a lot of enemies to deal with in the next part, and I am worried that many wonderful battles may end in haste. Regarding music, this one finally has a piece I can remember, which is Zhi Zhixiong's appearance music.
