Christopher B While not one of the best of the Zatoichi series, most consider it one of the lower points, it's still a good film and one that touches a little on Ichi's past a little bit as well. There are several famous Japanese comedians present in the film that add to the comedic vibe and give us some relief from the serious drama and add some amusing slapstick too. Adventures of Zatoichi isn't one of the best but is still another sounds Zatoichi film in the series with it's usual charms. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/26/22 Full Review Audience Member This film was solid. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The action isn't as polished in this Zatoichi outing, but the story is decent. Zatoichi bonds with an old man who reminds him of his father, and also gets involved with helping a young woman who is kidnapped by a corrupt policeman and crime boss. Even though the action is less, there are some good sword fights near the end, and the emotional parts of the story are sufficient. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Another excellent entry in the series. New Years approaches, and while the community goes to celebrate, he both befriends a young woman who's father is missing, and he himself may have found his own father, who we discover abandoned him at the age of five. Not to give anything away, but Zatoichi makes the holiday a memorable one, and the script, acting and cinematography again meet the lofty standards of the quintessential samurai series. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Another dead end in Zatoichi's beautiful story. Zatoichi's telanovela in this film is a big choke to his fans. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Quintessential Zatoichi - yet the cinematography and musical score were definitely composed with western audiences in mind.
