10/10

THE BEST ACTION FILM SERIES

As expected, "The Beginning" dives more into Tomoe (Kasumi) and Kenshin's (Takeru) tragic love story, hence, it's a bit more poignant, slow-paced, and is significantly less in action compared to its predecessors. However, the series' nature and samurai grandeur trademark that fans relish remain, and you get to see more of Kenshin's ruthless Battosai phase!

10/10 for the 10 years.
