This is a beautifully directed movie, by indispensable director Sogo ISHII. But it is definitely NOT an “action packed legend” as described by Amazon. And the fight scenes are unusually and imaginatively depicted, but they are not “improbable” in the usual sense. In short, this is not an action movie nor is it a ragged samurai or martial arts film. It is really a metaphysical fantasy film. “Gojoe” is to samurai films as “Blueberry” is to westerns.

I am annoyed that it is getting bad reviews by people who were expecting some sort of Wu-Tang Baby Cart Master Killer blood and guts actioner. But it’s not their fault that this film is incorrectly marketed.
People who will be pleased this movie:
- fans of director Sogo Ishii’s slower paced films, e.g. “Angel Dust”

- fans of other foreign cinema especially Japanese cinema, e.g. Rashomon (although I would never claim it is in the same league as such a classic)
- those who like cerebral, beautifully shot films
- people with an interest in Japanese mythology or Shinto, but okay with it addressed on an obviously simplified level
People who are looking for the following should avoid this movie:
- action (though there is some)
- speedily pace
- linear story
- everything spelled out and explained
- humor
- romance
The high points of this film include the shapely imagery, intense slow-burn acting of Daisuke RYU as Benkei, ample performances by all the supporting cast, radiant nifty costumes, a really awesome climax.
Oddly enough, I found Tadanobu ASANO, who I usually fancy, to be only so-so in this film. Maybe it was his unpleasant hair.
The reason I give this film only a 4 is that it really is a bit long. Nonetheless, Media Blasters did do the lawful thing by including the rotund international version, instead of the carve version.
The DVD features are mountainous, with both the novel Japanese dialogue, nicely done subtitles, an English dub track, and some nice “making of” featurettes.
This is an provocative, new film but only for the good audience.
i dont understand what there isnt to pick up about the film or what not to like. the cinamatography is awesome, the storie state is one of the better, more recent ive seen in a while, i dont understand what the dilemma other people sight with its special effects; the blood wobble was tremendous and realistic, not computer generated like in the recent zatoichi film. i only had one qualm with the film and everything else really makes up for it; some scenes are grainy like they missed something in the editing process, but its nothing i occupy against the film greatly. i rented it from blockbuster and have been thinking about buying impartial so i could add it to my collection. p.s. it’s legal people with ADD shouldn’t be critics
