A review by Alunauwie
10.0
Written on August 31, 2025
Kingdom 4: Return of The Great General continues the story from Kingdom 3, focusing less on Shin and more on General Ouki and his past, which is closely tied to Shin’s dream of becoming a great general. The film opens with a helpful recap and uses a clear narrative structure, including flashbacks, to introduce Houken, the main antagonist. Despite the less frequent large-scale battles, the intense duel between Ouki and Houken delivers powerful tension.
The conflict builds gradually as strategic decisions lead Qin’s forces into a trap, culminating in the climactic battle between the two generals. The film’s resolution is emotionally impactful, especially scenes where Ouki encourages Shin to see things from a general’s perspective, symbolizing Shin’s future role as Ouki’s successor. These heartfelt moments, combined with a strong closing message to Eisei and Shin’s rallying of the troops, create a perfect ending—though a fifth sequel is planned for 2026.
Performances are strong, with Takao Osawa standing out through expressive acting and convincing fight scenes. The cinematography, sound effects, and music effectively enhance the mood, from tension to sorrow and inspiration. Minor editing flaws, such as some artificial backgrounds, do not detract from the overall experience, making this the most emotionally resonant installment so far and a must-watch for fans.
