5/5
Directors (ugly cover) trumps Spike (pretty cover)
by PlusOne (Houston, TX United States)
If you liked Afro Samurai, then you'll probably want to see the second part, and so here you are. The director's cut is a better version than the Spike version. The differences really are the language editing (It bothers me when the "edited" word sounds forced/odd) and the omission of 1-2 second PG-13ish footage. Actually, I think it's harder to find the Spike version (with the better cover).
3/5
Kinda falls short
by Niels Bohr (Ohio)
The first Afro took 10 years to create and its awesomeness shows it. This one seems more like a hurried wannabe trying to rake in some more cash off of the name. Not to say that its not top notch animation but it feels weak and was a bit boring at times. I wish I would have rented this instead of buying it.
3/5
Disappointing.
by B. Hines (Rex, Ga.)
The first Warrior was just insane, a little hard to follow, but it added to the excitment. This installiment is bigger in every way, so why isnt it just as good? Well I guess the more money spent doesn't make a better movie. Started off interesting, good story, but all the computer effects and a lackluster soundtrack kinda bring this one down, try it again guys but please stick to what gave this moive its flare.
3/5
More of the same.
by Michael W. Heinz (Phoenixville, PA USA)
Not great, not bad. In many ways it's a simple re-hash of the original plot, bringing back all the old characters even though doing so undermines the original story.
As such, it lacks the creative spark that made the original so amazing.
5/5
Which one is better
by Caleb P. Erb
Awesome for sure maybe as good or better than the first. RZA has a ridiculous soundtrack for this AFRO as well
Afro Samurai: Resurrection - Director's Cut [Blu-ray] Summary
Afro Samurai (Academy Award ® nominee Samuel L. Jackson) avenged his father and found a life of peace. But the legendary master is forced back into the game by a beautiful and deadly woman from his past. The sparks of violence dropped along Afro s bloody path now burn out of control and nowhere are the flames of hatred more intense than in the eyes of Sio (Lucy Liu: Kill Bill). She won t quit
When His Fathers Body Is Stolen From Its Grave Afro Takes Up His Sword Again To Tear Through An Army Of Deadly Foes Led By A Sadistic Leader. Studio: Funimation Prod Inc Release Date: 02/03/2009 Starring: Samuel Jackson Mark Hamill Director: Fuminori Kizaki
The feature film
Resurrection
amps up the adventures of Afro Samurai, the Black warrior who debuted on Spike TV in 2007. Taciturn and deadly, Afro (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) wanders through an anachronistic, post-apocalyptic world, accompanied by motor-mouth Ninja-Ninja (also Jackson). This time, his nemesis is not the maniacal Justice from the series, but Sio (Lucy Liu), an embittered beauty who hates Afro for nearly killing her brother Jinno. She has Professor Dharman (S. Scott Bullock) recreate Afro's father from a jawbone stolen from his grave, a scheme that leads to the ultimate Oedipal showdown. The original series was rendered primarily in brooding grays, accented by spatters of red blood;
Resurrection
uses brilliant blues, oranges, and reds to underscore the conflicts. Hiphop artist RZA contributes another eclectic, moody score. But the over-the-top action can't disguise that the icy, silent Afro is a very limited character: he lacks the humanity that redeems the equally deadly swordsman Kenshin Himura in
Rurouni Kenshin
.
Resurrection
is clearly intended as an installment in a ongoing franchise. Afro kills the warrior Shichigoro (Liam O'Brien) in front of Kotaro (Zachary Gordon), his adopted son. At the end of the film, Afro sees Kotaro clutching his father's sword, tells him, "Anytime you're ready," and walks into the distance. Although the many extras stress that
Afro-Samurai: Resurrection
was a Japanese-American co- production, the film is presented only in English. (Unrated, suitable for ages 17 and older: graphic violence, violence against women, profanity, sexual activity, grotesque imagery, nudity, risqué humor, alcohol and tobacco use)
