Summary: It's alright.
Review: Samurai x the motion picture is alright,the only reason I bought it was because I am a big rurouni kenshin fan and because I needed some to waste my money.The story starts out with a backround of kenshins life during the revolution(CAUTION:this scene comes out a few times so you might get tired of seeing it).Then later Kenshin and his friend's meet up with a guy named Shigure that was also in the revlution 10 years ago.My favorite scene was when Kenshin fighting shigure in the last battle in the whole movie. This feature is preety much about revenge and making a name for them selves, it's actually very stupid.Like I said in my review the story is alright the fighting was alright the movie is alright I just did not like the dubbing it was just horrible I just had to ger used to it.Only get this if yu are a true rurouni kenshin fan like I am.

Summary: Beyond Disappointing - Catastrophic
Review: The two Samurai X videos released last year by ADV Films, titled "Trust" and "Betrayal", are two examples of an anime gone right - great story, great animation, great characters, etc. The story of Kenshin, a great swordsman, assassin, but more importantly, a kid. Literature could take a clue from this display of "innocence to experience." This 4 episode series is perhaps my favourite of all time.Enter Samurai X - The Motion Picture, a standalone movie that some friends and I have been looking forward to ever since the two before mentioned tapes. Rather than repeat the synopsis, I'll just tell you what's wrong with it, and why you shouldn't buy it. For starters, this is not the same animation studio that brought you the original. Instead of the gruesome, depressing, dark atmosphere that was the 4 episode series, now we see happier drawn characters and locale. Our heroes now sport the famous `embarassment bubble' that is found in corny anime such as "Sailor Moon" and "Sakura Diaries". Worst of all, we now see Kenshin sporting a pink outfit? If this is supposed to take place 10 years in the future, why does Kenshin look younger? Horrible - it boggles the mind at every turn. The story isn't interesting. There is no plot twist, no interwoven storyline - nothing. There's hardly any action to keep you interested, mostly political talk that doesn't mean a damn. They'll play the same flashback scene from the introduction (the only good part) over 7 times during the course of the movie! Let me finish with this - if you liked the 4-part OVA released by ADV Films, you will not enjoy this video. It will pain you to watch it. If you liked the TV series, you might like this. If you haven't seen either, get Samurai X, "Trust" and "Betrayal" and avoid this "movie" like the plague.

Summary: excellent addendum to the series
Review: This DVD was actually my introduction to Kenshin, which might have been a mistake as I was not able to appreciate it as fully then as I can now. The animation is as beautiful and the colors are as vibrant as the series. As for the story- it says that it occurs in the 12th year of the Meiji so I'm assuming that it takes place after the adventures in the original televised series. It's a wonderful continuation of Kenshin's life as someone who chooses to fight when necessary, but not to kill. Kenshin is, as always, goofy, sweet, and the most unassuming former manslayer you'd ever meet. I enjoyed this movie a lot more than the Reflections OVA as this one was right in line with what I feel Kensin is all about. I'd recommend viewing this after seeing the Kyoto arc of the original series.

Summary: Don't get confused!
Review: Samurai X is more of the anime series instead of the ova and the title was just created by A.D.Vision so don't get confused with the title. Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin) The Motion Picture is about Kenshin Himura Dealing with his own past back during the revolution. When Kenshin and his go to Yokohama for a little vacation they run into a swordsman that was alaso in the revolution that wants to have revenge against the man that killed his best friend in the revolution. This movie was alright but the story was kinda boring and I had to see the same scene about 6 times during the movie. Get this if you want to if you are a real RUROUNI KENSHIN fan because this may not satisfy you.

Summary: Boring!
Review: I watched this last night, and although the animation was GREAT, it was so dull and boring. I almost fell asleep through it three times, and I couldn't WAIT for it to be over. Two stars out of five for the beautiful animation.

Summary: action, a rated R movie, not for kiddies (by Joey)
Review: Rurouni Kenshin is one of the best anime you can possibly get plus it passes the time. This motion picture is titled Samurai X but it has nothing to do with the OVA's. This takes place right after "Legend of Kyoto" there on vacation from all the cammotion from Kyoto. They run into a person that was involved in the Tokugawa Shoganate ten years ago. Listen I'm not going to ruin the story but it is good. But the bad thing about this DVD is the idiotic dubbing, Kenshins voice is okay but Sanosuke,Yahiko and Kaoru have ugly voices that don't fit them at all, plus there is nothing special besides the trailers so you might as well get a subtitled VHS version.

Summary: A Great Kenshin Movie!!!
Review: After seeing most of the Kenshin series i thought to myself that I want more kenshin. Then I see Samurai X: The Motion picture in a store and buy it. Trust me, If you haven't seen or bought the movie then buy it. Its action packed all the way. The blood, the effects, and the romance tie together to make one of the best anime movies I've seen in ages.

Summary: it's good. IN JAPANESE!!!
Review: I watched this movie in english and thought the english dubbing sucked, but when you change it to japanese dubbing with english subtitles it was a good movie. I've rented this movie from blockbuster 4 times in the past 3 months and if you like anime and swords, can take seeing blood spill out of people suprisingly fast, and are 10 or older ( or so I think ) then you should give this movie a try.
