The action was pretty good for anime-turned-live action. The story wasn't exceptional, it was more of an introduction to the series. It was basically a live action movie adaptation of the first seven episodes, which they did a good job of. Also, I really liked the soundtrack, so that's a plus. If you like samurai movies, watch it, if you like Rurouni Kenshin, watch it (but don't expect too much), and if you like blood, watch it.
