Kevin L Sorry, not sorry, but I can't do these movies any more. Is every one of these old Japanese sword fight/samurai/slash movies built on revenge??? Or just every other one? This one, again, is a revenge flick. Apparently, it's the movie that "Kill Bill" was inspired by. But this movie makes "Kill Bill" look like the nadir of cinematic experiences. Yeesh, the acting, again and again, is abysmal. I've been told that such extreme, overt acting was, to them, how to show great emotion or realism. To me, it's just hacky as hell. I won't feign some fake awe over these movies like a lot of ppl seem to do. From the garish bloodletting to the horribly bad fight choreography, to the thin and shallow writing, this is poor filmmaking. 2 stars Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Jonathan O Violent, sexy,silly and beauty of grindhouse revenge film the cinematography looks amazing it really captures the manga and anime style into this live action of Lady Snowblood and really heroic leading performance by Meiko Kaji and is extremely bloody not for faint of hearts or weak stomach for viewers and does have seen Kill Bill vol. 1 we'll definitely be surprised. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Audience Member The acting was on par with Game of Death to be honest, but the story was genuinely good. Like wow this was a great movie no wonder Tarantino stole it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review grey g For fans of Tarantino's Kill Bill, this film will delight. KB is more than just a homage to Lady Snowblood, there are elements from format to music that stitch together the two movies. Of course KB is much more. LB is runs at a cracking pace. OF course time has made some of the special effects, fight sequences and continuity a big weak by today's standards, however it's well worth the hour and a half. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Gabriel M had me on the edge of my seat, I loved this moves so much it actually cured my mom's cancer. my crippled brother actually stood up from suspense and Jesus came back. 10/10 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/23 Full Review dave s If you can get past all of the praise heaped on Lady Snowblood and look at it objectively, you'll probably find that it's a real mixed bag instead of the cinematic masterpiece many have labelled it as. In a nutshell, it's a revenge flick about a young woman seeking revenge for the murder of her father and the rape of her mother. On the positive side, Meiko Kaji has a genuine screen presence as the steely-eyed killer, never flinching as she avenges the wrongs done to her parents. There are also a handful of beautifully shot scenes and, for anyone who likes their killings with an excess of blood, Lady Snowblood is graphic. On the other hand, there are numerous poorly framed shots that are just puzzling, the editing is inconsistent and often borders on amateurish, many of the outdoor scenes seem to be overexposed, much of the acting from anyone not named Meiko Kaji is embarrassing, and the story tends to plod at times.
