A truly enjoyable, fun chambara/sci-fi/quirky action-adventure. Cannot wait for the next one. Kou Shibasaki is a lot of fun in the title role. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

| A movie about an artificial samurai who is on a quest to retreive 48 of his body parts from demons with the help of the obnoxious Dororo. My feelings about this movie are ambivalent. The film does have good moments like SOME of the fight scenes, and some of the story is good, like when the artifical samurai went into a town to stop cannibalistic demons, or the part when the samurai was at infancy and being simulated by the scientist. But this movie is too pop culture-esque. First, the film drags. I'm agitated with that Dororo character, yelling and acting retarded throughout the movie. It was poorly acted. The overall story was weak and dull. I love the concept of it all, but it just lags on to the point where you just want to see the action (in which I hate). The cinematography I'm ambivalent towards. Some certain things are cool, like the infant scene because I have a thing for artifical hybridizing simulations or flesh machine fusion (through malignancy or by other means). But other parts are dull. So I'm not clear as to whether this film is a must-see or not. I like it just fine. I can only guess I was devastated because I expected better. |

If you are a little kid who still enjoys super power monsters, then you shall enjoy this. If you are a hardcore action fan like me, who loves the hardcore kung fus, than stay away from this film at all cost. It's got really bad action--very childlish, with some laughable CGI. Oh my God, I can't believe some people still like this film. Hardcore kung fu fans, save your money for a flick like "Invisible Target" or "Flash Point", don't see this one! | | AGREE? | READER COMMENTS | AUTHOR | | N | It's not very good, but a lot better than zero *s. It's a completely different genre (and nationality) than the films you compare it with. | Jeffrey Frawley |
