5/5 Shadow Hunters DVD

This is good entertainment with the gift of hidden bits that require rewatching. It has grit and comredy mixed well.

4/5 Fun movie!
  by Joseph L. Brady (Lancaster, CA United States)
This was a fun Samurai, ronin, slice 'em and dice 'em movie. The only drawback was the funky, early seventies music track. Several american and italian-made westerns had the same type of soundtrack in the seventies also. Other than that it was just fun to watch. A few of the characters and acting was a little bit off the mark. I also bought the sequel and it was marginally better.

1/5 what a stinker... I'd give it 1 1/2 stars

I could have gone without this movie. I guess I'm a traditionalist--Sanjuro, Chushingura, (Samurai) Rebellion, Hara-kiri, Sword of Doom--great movies; excellent sword work. But this stinker--poorly choreographed and a terrible 'jazz-like' musical score accompanies a transparent plot and lame "acting". Reminds me of the hack HK fist and sword melodramas. There's even the forlorn woman chasing the hero from beginning to end. Spare yourself.

This dog could have stayed on the shelf for another 30 years and no one would complain.



3/5 ok movie
  by ACS (Istanbul, Turkey)
I guess I had higher hopes for this movie. I was a bit disapointed. I watched it with english subtitles and the dialog or the jokes between the characters did not make sense sometimes. I guess it makes sense in Japanese. Overall, sometimes fun and ok movie. But there are such movies that are much better.

5/5 If you though that NINJA SCROLL was cool...THEN TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!
  by Francisco Cortes
MAN!!! What A movie!! This "Ninja vs. Samurai" film IS SOOOO ACTION-PACKED and is HIGH QUALITY. The action scenes were very well choreoghraphied, there is blood and gore, cool fights between samurais and ninjas, COOL ninja tricks, beautiful cinematoghraphy, GREAT acting and not to mention it's interesting story,...I mean, three samurais wandering around the country killing enemies for money and wanted DEAD by an army of ninjas. COOOOL!!!!!

I remember the high quality action-packed fantasy anime called Ninja Scroll that have a similar concept witch is about a wanderer swordman that is also wanted DEAD by an army of ninjas. WELL!! The concept is similar but this movie is NOT fantasy and is about three wanderer swordmen fighting an army of ninjas.

P.S: Another cool stuf is that the director is a celebrity because he is the one that directed TORA!TORA!TORA! If you like COOL action-packed samurai movies directed by celebrities then I recommend Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades and Zatoichi: Darkness is his Ally.

Adios.
