Watch Azumi 2: Death or Love For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

People are voting emotionally.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Azumi 2: Death or Love is a serviceable sequel to the movie that preceded it, but it's not quite as interesting the second time around. Where the first movie dealt with the cyclical carnage of war and the sacrifices people make for questionable higher goals, Azumi 2 is more of a straight-forward action movie that continues those themes as earnestly, but less effectively. After the events of the first movie, the young assassin Azumi continues her mission to find and kill the last remaining warlord that seems determined to plunge feudal Japan back into war. She's accompanied by her last remaining companion, still haunted by the deaths of her friends, and sought by a vengeful warrior who wants her death above all things. Of course, she also finds new allies and hidden enemies on her journey.This movie mirrors the plot of the first in many ways, but it's just not quite as good. The battles aren't as fun, and the story isn't as captivating. The attempts at poignancy and don't ring as true as the first movie, either. Aya Ueto is still an irresistible heroine and I recommend to anyone who enjoyed the first movie that they should check this one out, too. Just keep in mind that the change in directors from the first movie was not exactly an improvement.

Simply put : This film is excellent. I loved it! This had to be made because it completes well the story of the first Azumi and extends the pleasure of viewing it. This is one of the most attractive adventures I've ever been part by watching it. But, maybe this one's good but it's nothing compare to the first which was 10 time as good as this one. But nevertheless for anyone who've seen the first need to see this sequel. The director puts a lot of heart-wrenching scenes which were in my opinion useless. They kill too much characters just to put tears in your eyes I guess. However, I loved Chiaki Kuriyama in her role as Kozue, she's very good but she's cursed to play bad-ass girls for the rest of her life. Azumi's still a pretty on the outside but cruel on the inside young girl who just wants to finish her mission so she can escape to another place. I really think Aya Ueto was the perfect choice for Azumi, no girl on this planet is the same as her and they cannot replace her because she's unique in her talent and in the impression she gives to the viewer.I give 7.4 to this film. It's an excellent completion to this epic even though I would like a Azumi 3 to come out in the next few years.

Wow, now that's some neat action. Azumi is back and this movie turned out to be really great for being a follow up. I agree with many people in that the first piece is better than this one, but this one is still great. I felt that this piece really tied up the plot well, by adding this one together with the first movie. Here we get the pleasure to meet a bunch of new character, but they've also chosen to keep the same actors from the first movie - which came as a great surprise to me as too many plots which develops into series have a vital problem with keeping the actors from the first movie. If you like the first Azumi movie you will definitely like this one, and if you're yet not an Azumi fan you will most likely be one in the near future if you choose to experience the series. A warning though, you should really see the first movie first because I can't imagine myself even getting half of the plot here if I wouldn't have seen the first one before. Azumi to the bone! 7/10!

It's been a long wait for me for the continuation of the original Azumi. Azumi ended at such a crucial point that as soon as an English subbed version of the sequel was available, it was in my hands.Azumi 2 is every bit as touching, amazing and downright brilliant as the first instalment. The characters are as easy to attach to as those in the original film, the battle sequences just as brimming with amazing CGI and breathtaking choreography (the human spider sequence in the bamboo forest will have you gripping your palms 'til they pour with sweat).With a new director on board it was easy to mess this one up, but it shines just as well as its predecessor.Azumi 2 is without a doubt one of the best sequels made for a Japanese film. Lets just hope Hollywood don't buy the rights to create another shoddy remake.
