8/10

Kingdom 3: The Flame of Destiny (2023) continues the story from the first two films but shifts focus, dedicating much of the runtime to Eisei’s past rather than Shin’s development. While the foundation of the story is strong, this choice causes some confusion about the main character’s role, and Shin’s six months of training are noticeably absent. This impacts the film’s pacing and weakens the connection viewers might have with Shin as the protagonist. The conflicts involve Qin’s limited forces strategizing to defeat Zhao, but the battles feel less intense compared to earlier films. The tension fluctuates due to frequent dialogue and slower scenes interrupting fight sequences, partly because Shin’s character has become more strategic and calm as a commander. The movie ends with an open conclusion, introducing a new antagonist and setting the stage for future conflict. Performances remain solid, especially Takao Osawa as Ouki, whose unique yet authoritative presence stands out. However, Kento Yamazaki’s portrayal of Shin lacks consistency, with the character’s emotional intensity and “badass” aura fading unpredictably. Technically, the film delivers satisfactory visuals and sound, though some scenes—like a background shot from a hilltop—feel noticeably artificial. Overall, the film remains worth watching for fans interested in the ongoing story. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com) and (English version : uwiepuspita.com)
