Leave your thoughts about The Sword of Doom.
| The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)Mark PalermoOpen-minded viewers will be treated to a gripping work of style and tension - an expression of rage and conditioning that's remarkably vicious for a 1960s adventure yarn. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitRyunosuke's blank-faced amorality and apparent insanity and the spirited swordplay and Nakadai's athleticism move the viewer along. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...there's no real flow or sense of pacing at work here. |
| User ReviewRyan SBlack and White Cinematography at its finest. I have never seen a more disheartened character like Ryunosuke. Too bad the other two movies were never made :( One of my favorites. |
| User ReviewJason MIt's "Sword of Doom." Nothing more needs to be said. Mifune in small role. Tatsuya Nakadai is awesome. |
| User ReviewSarah HOne of the best movies I've seen in a while! |
| User ReviewPeter WBest. Samurai movie. Ever. One caveat: It was clearly made with sequels in mind that were never made; several plot lines never get resolved. |
| User ReviewJames WA menacing thrill ride, that will continue to stand the test of time. Tatsuya Nakadai plays his character at legendary status. |
| User ReviewJarett BThe story of an outcast samurai who kills ...well...everything. |
| User ReviewAdam HA definite favorite of the old-timey Japanese movies I like. Also, where my love for Nakadai, as an actor, began. |
