Rurouni Kenshin: The Final does everything I could ask it to. It gives action, emotion, and great character into the final installment of one of my most beloved franchises.

While spectators new to Rurouni Kenshin might not grasp some of the narrative's finer details or feel somewhat less involved in Kenshin's saga, they'll still find a lot to like in this fantastical samurai narrative.

Japan Times

Action director Kenji Tanigaki, who worked in Hong Kong with such stars as Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen, brings a panache and impact to these scenes that lift them above the Japanese action norm.

Rated: 3.5/5

...a harrowingly gorgeous film about an ephemeral love splintered by the times. It's one that can be experienced isolated or in the context of the other films in the series...

Rated: 10/10

Decider

Rurouni Kenshin: Final ties a satisfying knot with a few loose ends, and, when it finally gets round to it, fully engages with its big battle energy.

A wonderful adaptation of the anime, of the iconic Enishi arc that we missed in the anime. Mackenyu as Enishi was wonderfully cast. Action sequences for everyone is a must watch. Loved it even for Soujirou. Wished it didn't end but this was a lovely sequel.

Late R

Though the films quickly devolved into what amounts to a string of kinetic, spectacular fight scenes, ‘The Final' adds back the heart that was missing since the first entry into the franchise, although it maintains the ridiculously high production value and big visuals. These films are action-packed fun every time and that would be enough for me, but this one even has that little bit extra, too.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
