It was awesome.The characters are portayed well and the cinematography is beautiful and the choreography for the action scenes is tremendous.The movie is over 130 minutes but it felt much shorter(probably because I was enjoying it)and I'm happy the story for Rurouni Kenshin is going to be made into a movie series(more Rurouni Kenshin movies are going to be made)especially since the movie ends early into the anime series.
