November 12, 2009Awesome carnage and fight scenes have no idea how close to the anime it is at all.
-
October 27, 2009Some scenes were good, though the anime is a lot better, watch it if you're curious like me or if you ain't got nothing else to do haha :P
-
October 25, 2009A decent but unexciting live action reworking of the original animated film (far superior) and subsequent anime series. For those familiar with the material, it's a frustrating experience. There clearly wasn't enough budget to keep the stylistic visuals consistent throughout, a...( read more)

October 24, 2009Great cinematography, dazzling choreography and absolutely nothing else. An embarrassing live action version of another Japanese anime plagued by cringe-worthy dialogue, acting and CG.
Especially the CG. -
July 30, 2009This is some flashy stylish high octane shit hehe a nice combination of Eastern ideas and Western help provides us with this Manga story brought to the big screen in live action.
To be honest there isn't really anything here you haven't seen before, it has a kind of 'Blade' feel ...( read more) -
November 19, 2009The story moved too slow. If you've seen the anime, this is not an improvement. And for a production of this scale they should have hired a pro for the martial arts choreography.

November 18, 2009An epic pile of shite. With only a handful of above average moments...

November 17, 2009Not as bad as I thought it would be, although that'€™s not saying much. The action scenes aren't that bad except they seem kind of superfluous and overlong. The blood is really fake looking and the cgi used to create it is too noticeable. The movie is quite slick and even stylish...( read more)

November 10, 2009In response to the two previous comments (posted months ago). After viewing the credits again and looking up filming locations online, it seems a large section (if not the majority) of the film was shot in China, often (casting) directors see "Asian" as a demographic rather than separate peoples (like Native Americans in some of the old westerns), especially given certain budgetary restraints. Though a Korean actress was cast as Saya, a Japanese actress was cast as Onigen, leading me to believe that there was a casting call for Asians (with a preference for Japanese heritage, though not necessary) and may the best woman win. Often times viewers will overlook the ethnic authenticity of a character if the actor performs well enough in their role.
As for Haji, sadly, no, he does not make an appearance in this movie as it is based off the animated movie not the animated series. -
July 6, 2009i have a question without meaning any offence . why isnt there a japanese actress in it if its a film baed on a japanese animation? im not stupid japanese and chiniese, korean,mandarin,cantonese etc are all different :O
