MariofanAlex445 T @RT47678067 Sep 24, 2026 My only issue with this film is that the digital special effects are heavily dated. I wish they did the practical blood like in old samurai films. The story of the little boy being groomed into womanhood was very sad. Seeing him look so disappointed and sad when he revealed the money to his sister hurt me a little inside. Nobody should have to go through that, not even a fictional character. Zatoichi is super cool as always, been seeing bits and pieces of all his movies and shows my whole life. Finally seeing one of his films in full was really cool. I’m going to check out more of his stuff. 4.5/5 stars.

Careful build up of the other characters and plot result in a satisfying watch with some ruthless action!

Bad special effects are a distraction. See more justin t @RT08580778 Feb 15, 2022 There was lots of CGI blood flying around, would have preferred real fake blood. The story was confusing but the bits of it that I understood were really good and interesting. The ending was full of stuff happening. For all of the blood there wasn't much violence like people heads being ripped apart and the like. Worth watching and enjoyable fantasy film full of culture, that needs concentration. I love the musical montage bits and they actually fit into the story and the world. Fantastic film with brilliant characters and wonderful musical interludes... also blood! See more william d @acsdoug Dec 19, 2021 The story is a typical "samurai comes to town, fights bad guys and saves villagers." The gimmick here is the samurai is blind. That's not enough to salvage the rambling plot or excuse the incredibly bad special effects, particularly the CGI blood splatters. See more s r @ScottR Mar 29, 2021 A bizarre one to say the least. It was almost good, but then it just couldn't decide what kind of film it was. The whole drum tap dance scene at the end just threw me for a loop. Coming back to the main story, it had a good premise and development, but then it ended hollowly, almost like a TV movie. The CGI swords and gore was comical. It was on paramount and I'm not sure why the rating were so high. See more Read all reviews
