Reviews
How sad is this?
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Very good writing. Each character was created very well. One of the best Samurai movies i've ever seen. IT seems like it could have been taken straight from a anime.
This film was good. Sôta Fukushi' first look was dashing. I really liked his character. Everyone played their role perfect. I'm giving 7 because this movie seems very exaggerated.
Really good Fantasy/Ronin film which qualifies as Horror given the number of limbs chopped off, 800 year old Crones and Vampiric Worms which bestow Immortality. Refreshingly the fight scenes respected the laws of gravity! Lots of crouching but not so much leaping. Made the fight scenes somewhat more realistic, though the ability of our eponymous hero hero to slay hordes perhaps detracts a tad from that verisimilitude. He revels in the name "Hundred Killer".There are many shades of Grey in this film: the opening scenes are filmed in Black and White and have the feel of early Kurosawa both in the palette of colour deployed, ebony to silver and the Warrior meeting Crone motif. All credit to Director Takashi Miike and Cinematographer Nobuyasu Kita. But other shades of Grey also influence the film, alliances are built and broken, treachery abounds, motives are not always clear.A good old style Samurai/Ronin film.
Almost plays out like a Greek tragedy but with a whole lot of bloody gore. When the film reaches the third act there are no more actual villains in there and the number of killings in this film might be good enough for a record. Yet, beyond the action, it still manages to touch on a lot of subjects on human nature.
