Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Uriah43 Having witnessed the death of her father at the hands of a samurai by the name of "Hyo-e Kataguri" (Shigeru Kanai) a geisha named "Kotomi Yamabe" (Minami Tsukui) is determined to extract revenge upon him. As is so happens, although she has been trained in the arts of a geisha, when she was young she was also taught by her father the skills necessary for a samurai as well and armed with her father's katana she sets off on her quest to kill Hyo-e Kataguri. Unfortunately, once she finds him he manages to slip away and--alert to the knowledge that she is after him--he puts several obstacles in the form of ninjas, samurai and wizards to kill her before she can track him down again. To make matters even more complicated, there is a secret that she is unaware of and this also has an important impact upon her mission as well. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an okay samurai film which basically consisted of plenty of swordplay and martial arts. So those who enjoy action for the sake of action should have few problems enjoying this movie. On the flip side, however, the plot was rather minimal so viewers shouldn't expect much depth or intricacy. It's an action movie from start to finish. Nothing more and nothing less. All things considered then I rate it as about average.

Zombified_660 Geisha vs Ninjas, or Geisha Assassin as it's known outside of Japan and the USA, is a fresh, exciting example of how to make an exciting martial arts B Movie. It's fast paced, exciting, and it has a constant flow of action and quick progression from one sequence to another.It takes the martial arts B movie back to basics, assumes rightly that 90% of it's audience will be far less interested in authenticity than they are in seeing some exciting throwdowns, and provides a constant stream of exciting, energetic and refreshingly brutal fight scenes, with a simple but effective story briskly clipping along with them.There've been two main points made against the flick whenever I read it reviewed, both of which I think are accurate points but also kind of pedantic and moot.First is about martial arts authenticity. Martial arts geeks have been hasty to point out that the movie is preposterous and historically inaccurate. I'm going to tackle this head on. Geisha vs Ninjas is quite obviously coming from a comic book fantasy angle, and as someone who knows of and understands the principles of various martial arts but also knows that while the professional martial arts performed in a lot of recent movies is excellent and top notch, it makes for incredibly dull, grounded fight scenes. This movie is aimed at people who want to see a full on kicking of many butts like in the comics they read as a kid, not an expert display of dry martial skill like they see in a dojo. If you're going to get sniffy about whether a 5'2 girl can outfight a 6'1 monk with her bare hands or the fact that a ninja pulls down her mask to talk during a fight, you need to go buy Redbelt or Throwdown or something, this is not the movie for you. If you bought or rented a movie called Geisha vs Ninjas and expected authenticity, you are an idiot.Second is about the technical quality of the film. This is a very fair point. The film is shot on HD video, not film stock. It's directed by Go Ohara, who was responsible for action direction in Versus and the entirety of the direction of Death Trance. The visual of the movie is much like Versus, with it shot on cheap video, but with excellent direction and shot choice. Also pace is maintained throughout, with precious little time wasted or spent philosophising. If you dislike watching movies with very low production values, you'd be better off to watch Death Trance as that is a high budget film, funded by the Japanese/American Fever Dreams production company. The video stock and recording of the film is, in the slower sections, a little distracting. Most of the blacks are in fact low greys, and on my copy seemed to flicker somewhat. Also the frame rate of the movie doesn't seem quite right, with the non-fight sequences seemingly shot at a slower than natural frame rate. However, the counter-argument to this obvious but inobtrusive lack of funds and equipment is that where a lot of movies have tons of equipment and money but squander it, Geisha vs Ninjas is pushing the limits of what you can do with crappy gear and a few locations by making sure direction, action and concepts are in as high gear as humanly possible.So to summarise the film, yes, it is doubtlessly inaccurate to it's period, yes it is shot on very little money on cheap gear and it shows, but at the end of the day, if you stop looking for problems and concentrate on the actual movie, it's a rip-roaring, brutal, fight-centric revenge thriller with a great female lead, fantastic action direction and some great locations.

shescheating The film's plot is very simple and old that's you can tell the end at the first you saw it.A young girl revenge to a man not know the reason and no one really care about it,the action began,not surprisingly the young girl defeated very enemy blocks on her way which doesn't make sense,the girl fights two bodyguard,four ninjas,a monk,she was stabbed by a female ninja on the shoulder that makes a lot of act is physically impossible to be done,but she did and killed them all, fake.the ninjas fly to the sky ,do the posture stuff with his partners which can make you laugh or bore,fake.The girl fights a monk which is larger and stronger on size and she still defeated him by her strength ,fake.After that I fell asleep and never wake up until next morning.So any positive about this film?It's can make you a good sleep!Especially on Sunday evening ,you need it!So it's a typical orient fake action movie you may have watched for thousand times. anyone think this is good because they never see any film in this categories,so I suggest you go watching Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal,which is the masterpiece in every sense of the world.

Emperor of Cinema Lord of Chambara I ask you? Why would a Geisha fight Ninjas? Let me tell you, I watched it without subs!! Can you believe it, WITHOUT SUBTITLES!!! I give it 10 out of 10. This movie is a mix of Japanese warriors where they meet and fight. Lets start with the action. Go Ohara is the action director who directed the action in Death Trance and Onechanbara The Movie. The action is like a Japanese wire-fu. There are a lot of flying ninjas throwing smoke bombs, a tough monk, a Japanese barbarian and another monk which he used some magics to contact demons!! Wow, what a show. Japanse B-Movies are entertaining and funny. There are a lot sword fights, punching, kicking, smashing and smack down. The story is simple, is about geisha who seeks revenge of her fathers death. By killing the killer. I didn't understood what he mean't that why he killed her father. But in the movie, I saw the father who began the fight. The acting, well... A bit.....okay, good. The direction is simple. The setting is nice and beautiful. Especially in the begininning of the movie where the Geisha walks at night in Edo. Very nice. The overall is positive. You will expect soo many things. Have I ever felt the movie is dull? No. Thats all I can say and the ending. Well, I don't want to spoil the ending but you might get a surprise. But not a big one.
