This was interesting. Both Kou and Satoshi were awesome in this movie and the story was also interesting. It also set it up in the end that it would be a sequel, if so, I hope those two both return for it. :)

MCT:July 11, 2008Starts out in an interesting way, mixing samurai and fantasy elements. But after we've been introduced to the main characters the film loses its appeal.
The story still remains interesting but the fact that the acting and SFX are poorly done, disturbes me too much for me to enjoy this movie. Leaves the story open for a sequel...
Would've worked better as a miniseries on TV but as a feature film it fails. -

What do you feel when your own father give 48 part of your body and give it to demon just to make himself stronger???
What do you feel when you finally see your own mother after 20 years???
What do you feel when you have to kill your father???
Just watch this film and feel the sensation!!!! -

it's more like drama than being an action movie... a brilliant master piece from the creator of astro boy and metropolis... but more dark than any of Ozamu Tezuka's... being a game's adaption... it's quite faithful to Dororo's game on playstation 2...

MCT:January 7, 2008I watched it in Japanese with Chinese subtitles and eventhough I had to read to keep up. I really enjoyed it. It's like a Chinese Beowulf.

YES! This is the movie that I have been waiting for. A great wuxia/sci-fi/fantasy film all rolled into one. This is the first true answer that I've seen to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It is a superb start to a hopefully great trilogy.
The story is great. Really more of a sci-fi/fantasy, rather than a wuxia tale, although it is a wuxia setting. The film is near the 2 and 1/2 hour mark but it did not feel that way at all. The film does move at a moderately slow pace, but the good story, cinematography, and great acting keep this thing livened up.
As previously mentioned, the acting is well done. Kou Shibasaki, of Battle Royale fame, literally steals the show as Dororo and makes me wonder if she could have pulled off the Azumi character better than Aya Ueto did. She really has shown her maturity since her Battle Royale days. It is her acting alone that keeps the movie entertaining. I was also happy to see an appearance from Anna Tsuchiya, from the great Kamikaze Girls. I only wished that she had a bigger part.
There is quite a bit of action in here and it is great to watch, but it is not the greatest swordplay out there. Yet, it doesn't have to be. I love great swordplay as much as the next guy, but this movie isn't driven by the action.
The CG isn't too bad. Personally, I think it could have been a little better, but once again it works. The demons in this film come in the forms of all different fantasy types of creatures and they really go all out on the variety that appear.
This film should be a great watch to a variety of people since it covers quite a few genres nicely. Action adventure, drama, science fiction, and fantasy. Pick your poison and give this film a peek.

Good movie! The action is funny and cool at the same time. The plot is unbelievable at times, but this isn't a historical movie and so it works. The thing that impressed me most was the main actress and how funny she is in this film.

MCT:September 3, 2007Can't be bothered to read the manga/watch all the anime/play the game, even if they were all available to me, so I'll just have to make do with this. I liked what I heard of the music in a trailer, as well as the overall look of the film, but, however hot Satoshi Tsumabuki may be, I think I'd prefer it if the characters were about half-way between how they look in this and in the original manga and anime - I had the impression it was supposed to be a kind of parent-child relationship, but here they look similar enough in age to be lovers.

Fantastic movie. So imaginative with great characters and a good plot and special effects that begs you for them to hurry up and do the sequels.

The most strangest movie you'll probably watch. A story of a King who gave up with new born sun to have the power to rule the world and in doing so, the demons that granted him this wish took each body part of Dororo and lived in the world. Dororo was set to find his body parts in killing each demon and finding the truth of his father.
