Comment on Rurouni Kenshin Live Action Movie Confirmed by Anonymous:

Does it matter if he’s had previous training? Tom Cruise seemed to do just fine in The Last Samurai after all. Granted this is Kenshin, but I really don’t think it’s a huge deal. If the guy can act well enough to be convincing in the role, that should be all that matters.

  Apparently, you are unaware that actors merely pretend to be a character.

  Not enough to get his name right, it seems.

  Not a valid argument, Tom Cruise is a professional stuntman as well as an actor. Anyone can train to learn how to use a sword. But comparing Cruise’s background to Sato in that sense would be wrong.

  I wasn’t questioning the merits of his skills in martial arts, I was simply saying they shouldn’t be an issue. What matters is his acting skills, and from what I could gather, they seem up to par for the role. As an aside, I saw a comment mentioning Joe Odagiri. I can’t speak for the role he played on Kamen Rider as I never saw that, but he was great in Bright Future.

  When the Japanese make anime films themselves, they tend to be a lot more faithful like Death Note and 20th Century Boys.

  I dont know, usually when civilians and people say they think it wont pass . That usually leads to governments doing the complete opposite. However, it is a dangerous slope that could start and no easy way to do it without freaking a secret police.
