rose Apr 24 2022 12:35 am I like the movie mainly it's a historical story. I like the character of yoshizawa and I would like to watch kingdom 2 very soon.

abz Jan 26 2022 5:49 am the movie is okay compared to other historical action movies and the action skills of kento is just okay , kanna hashimoto acting is clingy I dont see her in any action film since her face and acting is clingy I think since she has a baby face I think her acting is more suitable in shojo or romance only. in all 5/10 rate in my opinion:)

Yamayama Jul 26 2021 10:55 pm Someone asked for Kyou Kai. She's not on this part yet. Probably on Season 2

Ira Jun 21 2020 8:23 am This movie is so good and it turned Kento who always played flower type of guy to this badass Shin. I always believe that Japanese will do right if anything comes directly from anime cause the environment and state of anime is similar to Japanese culture so im not complaining. It will be a good thing if they can make sequel to this just like Rurouni kenshin.

Ik Jun 05 2020 9:38 pm I am here becaus eone ok rock :D I never like yamazaki bc he iwas a typival shojo manga actor

So i am glad he got this role so his image is change

Jennifer Ramos May 10 2020 7:37 am At first, Yamaken was the main reason why I watched this movie. However, after watching it, it made me realize that this movie is indeed one of a kind. I love it. I came to love Ryo and Masami, as well.

Harun Apr 29 2020 2:06 am Ohhh masami nagasawa, your acting ,best ?

kenddo Apr 26 2020 10:48 am everything about this movie is spectacular! definitely one of the best live action ever produced

Jenneevie Apr 16 2020 7:35 am Beautiful movie! I just finished watching Psychic Kusuo the other day and I'm glad to see Yamaken, Ryo and Kanna acting together again. What a great transition from humorous to action film. I love them. Let's live like we're immortal.

shun's_hardcorefan Apr 09 2020 10:41 pm 7/10. yamaken really make me watch it till the end lol and ofc the story itself make you want to know what going to happen next(even though you somehow know what going happen next but it just gonna make you want to watch it more lol, does it sound make sense? well, whatever. what i'm saying is that this story is good)

Fujimiya A. Jun 13 2019 9:44 am Watched this in gala premieres held in Singapore, and needless to say, it was great. Excellent directing, acting, props, soundtrack, all contributed to the success of this movie in Japan too! ^_^

Going to watch it few more times once officially released here.

Good job to all actors/actresses, and shoutout to Kento Yamazaki for perfectly fulfilling his role as Shin. :D Fell in love with him here - if you are a fan of his, a must-watch.

Xxka Jun 10 2019 12:10 am Singapore 20/06/2019 selected cinemas <3 I can’t wait! Kento!!

Ceadda May 03 2019 5:17 pm Only in Japan theaters. I hope to at least be able to rent or buy it in a few months with English subtitles. Hopefully it will be available to stream on PlayStation.

Usaginohime Apr 23 2019 10:45 pm When will this b air in Singapore?? I've watched the anime read the manga .. Searching its novel ... Now we know there's live action which looks soó cool. When can we expect an international spree .. When will it b air in Singapore?

jjjpan Apr 19 2019 9:36 am more movies with hashikan, ryo, and kento ㅜㅜ their interactions are solid

Uli Apr 15 2019 4:49 am Kento n ryo manga princes back together after wolf prince live-action. Can't wait for this movie. Will it air here?? TT

NNOIUY Mar 30 2019 11:40 pm Yamaken+Ryo+Kanna. what a combination!!! I can't wait!

Deku Mar 22 2019 12:49 am So like it's gonna air in Japan in April 19 of this year but like when will it be out internationally? I really don't wanna wait a whole year for it to come out. I read the manga and so far it looks good.

oic Mar 13 2019 3:17 am How long is this? I hope its not just one movie. This series need 100+ episodes to do this justice.

South African Feb 12 2019 11:51 am OMG, I can't wait to watch this movie

Dianmas Feb 11 2019 7:15 pm Hope this movie will be aired in my country...

Maryan60 Feb 06 2019 3:16 pm First time that Kento actually suits his character. Hes literally perfect for this role. Cant forget about Ryo. Im really excited for this movie !!

revokrock Jan 31 2019 4:10 pm One Ok Rock + Yamazaki Kento = ??

Ryu Samuël Jan 29 2019 3:41 am A japanese movie about China... Interesting :)

Augos Dec 16 2018 6:49 pm Just as long as they remain true to the manga and the anime, I do not care who plays the parts.

Also, I am curious as to how much of the story they will do in the move. It would be really great if they did a series of movies so that they tell the whole story.

Luluk Nuraini Dec 09 2018 9:37 pm Can't wait to watch ?

A/fan/of/everything Nov 23 2018 9:06 pm From the trailer, it look like they going to do until fighting the step brother. If they do the fight scene well, this might be a good adaptation

Aman Nov 16 2018 6:28 am Kento looks good as Shin. Everyone looks good in their character. Those who are against, just go and was your eyes properly and stop watching hentai coz your bain is now messed up.

AKARI Oct 11 2018 5:56 pm To ppl who complaint 'bout Kento as Xin. Yasuhisa Sensei himself who choose him as Xin, also for the short movie on 2016. In his twitter, Yasuhisa Sensei said that he was so excited 'bout this movie, he also visited the shooting scene couple of times. So..im wondering why you questioned Yasuhisa Sensei's decision o.O

nemnem Oct 11 2018 8:44 am WTF! Kento not even close to be Shin. I'm a fan of the manga and anime of Kingdom. I can't picture Kento acting as Shin, even on trailer I can't see Shin. They should just continue animating the manga instead of this.

Ruka Oct 11 2018 2:14 am The special movie on 2016 to celebrate manga Kingdom 10th anniversary already great and now watched this trailer and all those gorgeous casts (Kanata Hongo also in it!!!!) *speechless*.

I read that the manga creator, Hara Sensei himself, chose Kento to play as Shin on 2016 movie, and now Hara Sensei also involved in the screenplay, so i guess it'll be amazing (i love the manga, not much into the anime tho). Can't wait for April 2019, i really hope that this movie will be screened outside Japan *fingerscrossed*

Precious Oct 10 2018 3:48 am Can`t wait to watch... watched the trailer and wow "goosebump" .. his crying scene!

Pretty Lai Oct 09 2018 11:13 pm Just saw it's trailer and I am so excited for this. A different role for Kento. I wonder how he would pull it. Looking forward :D

Sphinx Oct 09 2018 12:00 pm I can’t wait to watch this! Whoooo Ganbatte Yamaken!

Anon5643 Oct 09 2018 8:54 am Pretty cool. Would watch though these are japanese playing as chinese?

Asra Oct 09 2018 8:35 am This look so massive! Kanata-kun looks different, but his mean face still recognizeable. I almost didn't realised that was Kento. But Ryo-kun looks so beautiful here. Count me in!

Zakiyama Oct 09 2018 6:35 am So Excited for this! ^o^

Precious Oct 09 2018 6:07 am YES! Kento strikes again... Saikou!

Sandes Oct 09 2018 1:44 am Anime was good. Hoping movie will be mind blowing.
