Audience Member A samurai movie should not have CGI, or, in this case, unconvincing CGI. Classic or vintage special effects would have made this movie better. Bad special effects are a distraction. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review justin t 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! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review william d 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. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r 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. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredibly funny as well as quite dark film. Must see for everyone, even it looks quite old still it manage to captivate. The ending is just a MUST SEE. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review camille l Pour une fois, Kitano déroge à sa manière de filmer et propose une nouvelle itération des aventures du masseur aveugle Zatoichi. Finies les longs plans fixes, le film est beaucoup plus classique dans sa forme et cela s'en ressent un peu dans la mesure où le rythme du script ressemble beaucoup à ceux des précédents films de son auteur. Kitano est d'ailleurs tout à fait excellent dans le rôle titre, tandis que quelques seconds rôles tirent leurs épingle du jeu. Mais pour une fois, c'est un choix de mise en scène de Kitano (le sang entièrement en CGI et des combats extrêmement sanglants quasi cartoonesques) qui est le principal défaut d'un film qui dure aussi bien 20 minutes de trop, malgré une superbe séquence finale. Zatoichi n'est pas un mauvais film, mais comparé à ce que Kitano nous avait livré auparavant, c'est une petite déception.
