Film Reviews by KS

This movie features excellent cinematography, beautiful sets, and spectacular costume designs all intended to delight the senses. Any pleasures of this film end there.

Unfortunately everything beautiful in this movie is in service of an unspeakably terrible plot, hideously dull characters, and jarring CGI that serves only to further cheapen the already monotonously choreographed fight scenes.

With ludicrous twists at every opportunity I doubt that the writers cared enough to track how any character was motivated beyond the immediate scene. It isn't even that the movie doesn't make sense it's that you couldn't possibly care about anything that is happening because the characters are disinteresting beyond the point of total apathy.

Not to mention the disgusting treatment of women across the movie's putrid final act which further drives this movie into the garbage.

This is pure waste of talent, time, energy, and a disc rental.

Save your rental for something worth watching. There are so many better movies to enjoy in both wuxia and chambara that this should be at the absolute bottom of any "to watch" list.
