Kingdom is a live-action adaptation of Yasuhisa Haras manga, set during Chinas warring states era with some historical characters, making it an engaging story. Adapting manga to live-action is challenging due to high fan expectations, but the film shows clear dedication and effort. This review is based solely on the film, as I havent read the manga.
The story centers on themes of ambition, loyalty, and brotherhood, focusing on Shin and Eiseis struggle to reclaim Eiseis throne. Conflict arises quickly with internal and external challenges, building tension through battles and political struggles. The films resolution shows strong character growth, though some fights lack dramatic tension.
Acting is a highlight, especially Ryo Yoshizawa...
