Reviews
Kingdom 2: Far and Away (2022) is the sequel to Kingdom (2019), continuing Shin’s journey as he gains experience to fulfill his dream. The film features more intense and numerous action scenes, especially during battles, surpassing the first movie’s scale. A recap at the start helps new and returning viewers follow the story smoothly. The plot develops consistently from the first film, introducing new characters like Kyoukai while bringing back familiar faces. The story centers on internal palace conflicts and harsh external warfare where Shin and fellow slaves fight as front-line soldiers. The action is intense but balanced with touching and occasionally lighthearted moments. Character growth is clear, especially Shin’s evolving understanding of what makes a great general, and Kyoukai’s personal journey. Performances remain strong, notably Kento Yamazaki and Nana Seino, with demanding swordplay and well-crafted costumes. Cinematography captures detailed expressions and battles, using natural desert lighting effectively, making this sequel a must-watch for Kingdom fans.
