Plot/Summary/Synopsis: http://asianwiki.com/Kingdom_(Japanese_Movie)
I wanted to see this movie since the cast guested in VS Arashi.
The first time I watched the film I did not understand what was going on. I was into the first 15 minutes of the movie before I was disturbed. So, on the second time, I told myself that I would focus on the movie.
Amazingly, I enjoyed watching the movie. Shin's devotion to a goal is remarkable, he does not wane. His loyalty does not waver and he will follow through. His naivete is endearing where he does not care whether he is talking to a royalty or a high ranking officer. I am not a fan of his outbursts, I want to skip those parts but they seem essential to his character build. The plot is the same for almost all warring for a kigndom story. The difference in this movie is that the king wants to unite his nation, but is thwarted by his brother. I was a bit confused in the lineage of the king, I had to reread that part. The fight scenes were really good. I loved the scene where the battle with the giant is ongoing. It was nail biting, I was screaming with every hit the hero gets.
Storyline: 3/5
Emotion evoked: screaming on the inside so as not to disturb my mother watching teleserye; nail biting fight scenes
