It was an intresting movie. Great sword Fighting,Blood effects were strange.Dancing threw me off. all in all I thought it was Great Japanese Cinema.
 
5 Star Rating  "They Never Saw him coming....the blind swordsman"2009-10-09
- Reviewed By K. A. Henson from Chicago, Illinois United States
Great movie!
I saw this first on TV, but it was slashed to pieces by all the commercial breaks.
Worth adding to your permanent collection if you like movies where the underdog whips butt in style. I would almost compare this to some of Kurasawa's masterpieces. All done with a wry bit of humor that endears the character to you.
What's also nice is the blind swordsman is middle-aged and also does massage.
An unassuming hero! Set in classic Japan with the scenery, costume and time frame we have come to love, the Samurai era. Well directed and well filmed, this will be one you need to see.
 
4 Star Rating  "A good film hampered by bad special effects"2009-09-29
- Reviewed By Andrew F from Seattle, WA
I'm a big fan of Japanese samuri movies. While for the most part an updated and fun continuation of the Zatoichi series, the use of poor quality special effects seriously dampered by ethusiam. Let me explain.

During sword fight scenes, most of the time Zatoichi's sword is actually a digital special effect as are the limb severings and cuts. On the upside, this allows for much more complex techniques than could perhaps be done in the traditional manner. The down side is that the sword, blood, and limbs being severed are so poorly rendered and obviously fake that it detracts from the realism of the scene. If a fighting move is patently false, it undercuts the ability of the audience to believe in the swordsmanship of the character. It's like if Clint Eastwood quickdrawed in his Westerns, but his gun looked like a cartoon gun inked in.

I think this film would have been much better, and more realistic, if they had used props rather than digital effects.

Otherwise, I found the characters to be engaging, and the dance sequence at the end was highly entertaining.
 
3 Star Rating  "The Terminator in Edo Japan"2009-04-19
- Reviewed By Christopher Culver
In early 2004 I saw Takeshi Kitano's ZATOICHI in the local cinema, intrigued by a Japanese feature but knowing nothing of the long tradition of films with Zatoichi, the blind swordsman. I never did see the earlier films with Shintaro Katsu, but I continue to enjoy Takeshi Kitano's take on the character. The plot is fairly basic, rival gangs are fighting for control of a small town, and the locals are obliged to pay increasing amounts protection money. Into this steps Zatoichi, played by Takeshi himself, as well as another itinerant swordsman who seeks to do the dirty work of one of the gangs in order to help his sick wife. Zatoichi falls in with a poor farmer, as do two geishas who are traveling about to get revenge on the gang members who killed their parents. Over the course of the films, Zatoichi proceeds to slay an enormous amount of people, with some vivid CGI blood painted over each fatal sword blow. In spite of the generic setup, the production values and a few of the twists in the story make this an enjoyable film.

I know that Takeshi has been criticized for completely doing away with the back story around Zatoichi. Here the only sign that he has a past at all is when a gang member says, "Could this blind man be Zatoichi", and a flashback where he silently kills a group of nameless foes. Instead, Takeshi brings the character between the two extremes of charming, but taciturn, old blind man and unstoppable killing machine. But nonetheless, I like how universal the Zatoichi character is, even when he is as mechanical as Kitano sometimes makes him. The archetype of the man of piercing intelligence who fains disability or madness appears in Western art from Hamlet to Russian holy fools, so all audiences will respond to Zatoichi. And sure, the action is sometimes hard to believe, but Takeshi knows this and has injected a level of grim humour into the film.

My only complaint about the film's action is that the final battle between Zatoichi and the bodyguard is anticlimactic. After building up the polarity between them for over an hour, there could have been more to it than a single blow. In addition, the soundtrack strikes me as exceedingly lame until the nice taiko drumming that closes the film.

I cannot comment on SONATINE, as in my market the two films were not released together.
 
5 Star Rating  "Sonatine, with a decent bonus film to boot!"2009-01-23
- Reviewed By ac from Indiana
This is definitely worth purchasing for Sonatine; while I'm not sure why this film wasn't released on its own, I'm glad its reaching a wider audience because of the bonus film it came with, Zatoichi. Sonatine is one of the greatest films ever made, and this is a great deal.
 
5 Star Rating  "Great movies, great condition"2008-11-24
- Reviewed By An Amazon User
Zatoichi is a great movie. I haven't watched Sonatine yet, but since Asano is a top-notch actor, I have high expectations. The set was received in perfect condition in a timely manner. A good purchase.
