Great review again, mate! I havent seen this yet, but i will probably end up seeing it. The problem with Takashi Miike, is that sometimes i think he is more concerned with being a prolific film maker than a film maker of quality. Audition, Ichi the Killer and such, were great films, but recently his standard has dropped. I would like him to concentrate more on movies, which means making less!
This movie really dumbed down the story in the manga, condensing years worth of storyline into a 2.5hr movie. Characterizations, characters, developments and subplots, are just gone. The anime was shitty too. Hopefully it eventually gets its due.
This in no way on par with 13 assassins, sadly. I can't help but develop a strong dislike for the girl character (I forgot her name), I get that she's supposed to be a kid, wanting to avenge her family but my GOD she's annoyingly useless throughout this movie. Basically, she's just a painful plot device and damsel in distress. *Slight spoiler, the moment when she stopped an army from attacking by shouting stop and question their way of samurai; was ridiculous. Not to mention, so many characters come and go in this movie, forgettable. In a nutshell, in my opinion, it's a fun movie to watch, but not memorable.
I really enjoyed this. But mate, i wasted 1h 40m watching 'Better Watch Out' today. Worst movie I've seen this year, can't even rate it one star, not a single laugh from the audience, felt like 3 hours, everyone involved in making this rapey shit should never work again.
its his sister, not daughter
+Ferfarsah whoooops

I really enjoyed this movie. Seen it twice already.
Was skeptical about this movie, thought it would be a low quality cartoony film but, I think I will check it out now, thanks.
definitely check out 13 Assassins. It's banging.
Indietrix Film Reviews will do!
Another fantastic analysis 👊
cheers mate!

Even though the 2 and a half hours flew by for me, i felt scenes were missing or needed more time, i don't know anything about the manga though.
Thank god, I am not the only person who feels this way.
Habe you seen the new adaptation from 2020? Because I haven’t read the manga but I really enjoyed the anime they made.

i think fun but not memorable is the right take!
