| User ReviewJorge EZatoishi is my hero! This film is very, very good! |
| User ReviewPrivate UZatoichi is minding his own business when as usual someone needs help from a bad boss. This particular Zatoichi film is above average. |
| User ReviewChris BWhile 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. |
| User ReviewChristopher BQuintessential Zatoichi - yet the cinematography and musical score were definitely composed with western audiences in mind. |
| User ReviewDave JNot the masterpieces that Kurosawa made but certainly an enjoyable Samurai movie to say the least |
| User ReviewJohn SYou can't go wrong with any Zatoichi film even though this one has an ill-fitting score and also isn't as action-packed as some of them. Adventures of Zatoichi is still a Zatoichi film and so it's still a fantastic piece of samurai cinema. |
| User ReviewSam JThe 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. |
