Surprisingly, this is a good representation of the anime. Decent acting and storytelling for a live-action remake.

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

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.
