An abridged but great live-action sum-up of the first arc of the manga. As such, a lot of the character interactions that further built the dynamic between the group was cast to the wayside so it ended up looking like "things happening and everyone just goes along with it given the situation at hand". The action was over-the-top and beautifully choreographed. It's a great movie and I hope there are plans to cover future arcs.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Amazing! I highly recommend everyone to watch Kingdom. It will keep you at the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen next. It's 2 hours 13 minutes long and I wish it was much longer.

Variety

"Kingdom" bounces along with high energy and nice sprinklings of dry humor for the vast majority of its lengthy running time.

Director Shinsuke Sato's film may lack nuance, but fans of martial spectacles will have an enjoyable if exhausting time.

The film acquits itself honorably, even if its ultimate message is disquieting.

Punch Drunk Critics

This movie is fun and at times a bit goofy but still an energetic action period movie. It was definitely worth going to go see.

Rated: 3.5/5

Kingdom is a decent action adventure that just takes a while to really get going. The performances aren't totally satisfying and the story isn't exactly hard to follow, but it does feel like it's trying to be more convoluted than it needs to be.

Rated: 3/5
