Where did you see it? Any more details?
It's been out for a while in Japan so I'm assuming the poster saw it there

Welcome to Japanese films. lolHonestly as a big fan of the manga this looks... kinda disappointing? Cheap? There is a gravitas in the original art that is not translating in the movie for me.
It needs the beautiful dismemberment that is a big part of the identity of the art.
God, I used to love this comic back in the day. Did it ever wrap up?
Some of those scenes look like 1:1 recreations of panels I remember.

great. I have enjoyed a few Takashi Miike movies in the past and this looks like it is right in his wheelhouse.
Saw it at the Sydney Film Festival in June.Where did you see it? Any more details?
I'll still buy tickets for it at our London Film Festival coming in October, but thanks for making me keep my expectations in check. 140min does sound a bit long, but that was the same length for 13 Assassins which I really liked.Saw it at the Sydney Film Festival in June.
The fights are really fun and funny but there's ultimately not enough variation for how many of them there are. It's really a series of duals movie, like Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Like that movie it would be better if they'd sacrificed different things in streamlining the source material.
Everyone I spoke to about it enjoyed it.
The dude they got playing Anotsu is really pretty, at least they got that right

Yeah this looks kind of shitty. The tone is all wrong? It's too Miike.
A Blade of the Immortal movie should be more brooding and have really great cinematography and this just looks like pulpy violence.
