Reviews
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
starblo I found this movie pretty cool! Indeed the effects aren't like in the matrix, but hey, we don't all have millions to spend on effects.The plot is simple: Kibakishi is a samurai/werewolf who wanders around. And some day arrives in a village that is different from others and starts playing a good game of dice at the "casino". The story takes place in Japan of course, (I don't know the time it takes place, but ballistic guns are a new concept, so maybe in the 1900s, about the same time as in the movie The Last samurai).So like I said the effects aren't hardcore, but they are well done, and the blood spilling effects make you think of Kill Bill, haha. The actors are marvelous, they really help you immerse in this fantastic world. Even though the movies isn't as appealing as a Hollywood big cash blockbuster, it was quite entertaining and the way the story is brought in and presented is worth the while.
TheOnlyGoodHumanIsADeadHuman Where to end? This movie is kinda woeful, you realise after about 10 mins that they had very little money indeed, what they had they seem to have saved by skimping on actors. The Plot? That doesn't matter in the least. The effects? Very poor. The editing? Not too bad actually and the look of the film is half decent. But none of that's important, none of it, what is important is the dubbed version.Its simply beautiful. Lip sinked by a blind man, scripted by an inbred and performed, by the sound of it, by a motley band of monkeys, castratoes and men who have had all trace of emotion removed from them.High pitched comedy voices and cackling abound. Oh the cackling, must be the only film in history to have its own cackling department. Any old dialogue that sort of fits is used, followed by half a second of their mouths still moving. That's when they don't simply fill the gap with cackling. You may have noted there's a lot of cackling in this movie (to be truthful some of that cackling might be mu ha hah ing or even gaffawing, only the experts from the cackling department would be able to tell us).I suppose the plot should be given a mention. Werewolf samurai, fights monsters, some of those monsters are human. With the usual mix of clans missions etc, it does have spider whores, which can only be a good thing. It moves briskly enough and has enough oddness to entertain.Perfect for a booze and pizza night.
gothor A Samurai is invited to stay in a gambling house run by monsters in disguise. Despite eating the occasional welcher, the monsters really aren't so bad. But wait a minute: Traveling cowboy... finds a home... things are gonna go wrong, right? Oh yeah. In a big way.The middle of this movie is pretty slow paced, but all that is made up for in the film's ending and beginning, which action fans have got to see to believe. The werewolf costumes are great and the swordplay is spot on.Don't believe the haters. This movie is great fun. And the dubbing isn't all that bad either (except for the one princess girl, who, I kid you not, *might* have been a man.) P.S. Kibakichi has one of the greatest theme songs I've ever heard. It's catchy, heroic and just plain awesome. If I were a samurai-ronin, you can bet I'd rip off Kibakichi's themesong for my own!
wuschelbutsch You read the summary? Yes? Then there is no need to say anything else about this movie.You got to see it yourself to believe how bad it is.The story is a idiotic piece of sh*t with an absolutely silly message. The acting is wooden as hell. The creatures are as frightening as the Muppet's and the action is lame. The make-up department doesn't even reach work seen in Star Trek: Next Genration. The Crew doesn't seem to be very skilled at all. Uwe Boll is a directing genius in comparison to Tomoo Haraguchi. But I have to admit that the editing work is acceptable.This picture isn't even worth to be called trash. It's just a big waste of time.
