Action/Adventure / Science Fiction
This has to be, without a doubt, the most boring japanese film I have ever had the displeasure of viewing. Calling the plot convoluted is an understatement akin to calling the planet Jupiter big. I own literally hundreds of Japanese films on DVD, and this is the worst of the bunch. I found myself looking at my watch to find out how much longer this piece of dreck was going to last. The pacing of this film is so languid, it makes Stanley Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" look like a Jason Statham film by comparison.
If you are impressed solely by visuals, put a shiny ribbon on a turd instead. You will know what its like to watch this film and you will save yourself money and 2.5 hours of time you can never get back. I am giving it zero stars because I can think of absolutely nothing to recommend it. Avoid this at all costs.

However, I'm not, and I enjoyed this movie very much. The music and the imagery is beautiful, as is the message of the film in its entirety, OH! And the visuals were kick-ass!!! | The 8th Sword | | Y | You're right. Half a star was too generous. Ah well. | John Firth | | Y | I have not seen the movie yet, but you sure are funny! | DS28111 |
