Kingdom is a live-action adaptation of Yasuhisa Hara’s manga, set during China’s 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 haven’t read the manga. The story centers on themes of ambition, loyalty, and brotherhood, focusing on Shin and Eisei’s struggle to reclaim Eisei’s throne. Conflict arises quickly with internal and external challenges, building tension through battles and political struggles. The film’s resolution shows strong character growth, though some fights lack dramatic tension. Acting is a highlight, especially Ryo Yoshizawa’s dual roles and Kento Yamazaki’s intense action performance, fitting Shin’s rough background. The production values are impressive, with authentic settings, costumes, and well-executed cinematography that enhance key scenes. Overall, Kingdom is a must-watch for fans of manga adaptations and war-themed action films, offering many thrilling moments.
