Surprisingly, this is a good representation of the anime. Decent acting and storytelling for a live-action remake.
THE FUCKING ACTION SCENES MAN, AND THEY GET EVEN BETTER IN THE NEXT SEQUELS!!!!!
For martial arts enthusiasts this movie is very campy. For anime enthusiasts it’s a very well done adaptation.
This adaptation stays faithful to the source material and simultaneously functions on its own merits as a feature film. An absolute delight.
An interesting story. Good acting and nice “Naruto” feeling. Going for the next ones with confidence.
I loved the anime, but this put such a stylistic flare on it I enjoy it more than the original. Key points remain the same from the anime
Telling about some other face of Samurai
One of the best live action adaptations of an anime and manga. I honestly recommend it.
Just as good as the other 2 I've seen. Always exquisite sword play. Looking forward to the follow up.
This is an amazing manga/anime live action adaptation. Fight scenes are dope, but the best part is the perfect set design and casting.
