Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

thebren01 Wait, Before i start this review let's see if i can read your mind... if you're an Inuyasha your thinking "how can this guy be a real fan if he dosen't love this movie? well fellow anime fan, i come bearing the grim unforgiving truth, are you ready? half-assed that's what this movie was, i own season box sets, have seen the first movie and seen every episode, i love Inuyasha but when your neighbor's contractor forgets to pour cement for your new house someone's gotta have the balls to tell Joe his contractor's messing up. That's who I am ,the neighbor with balls. now that i got that over with let's start with the negative...1. Laughable plot (is Rumiko Takahashi getting this from cereal boxes?)2. stupid Kagura fetch quests 3. anticlimactic villain, a chick with a mirror? Give her something cool like a gun 4. overall sub-par acting, if you strip down the "aw man I'm watchin' Inuyasha" you realize how dumb everyone soundsokay i'm-a-gonna end on a couple of good notes1. good animation and CG 2. spiced-up fighting camera angles. Bam! 3.funny Hojo sub-plotso to summarize this, if you HAVE to get your Inuyasha fix roll up your sleeves and inject yourself with more of the legal heroin, if your a semi-fan you might wanna give it a shot though i recommend FLCL if you have a 100 bucks, and finally if your not a fan, why the hell are you reading this? watch something cool like Terminator.

Tony DeCaro (Aldo-9) The movie opens with the be all end all battle between Inuyusha and the gang, and Naraku. After Naraku's apparent death, the gang more or less split up and go there seperate ways. But when Kagura (the wind demon that has those cool fans) and Kanna (the little girl with the mirror that steals souls) conspire to raise a demon who plans to stop time. Inuyasha, Kagome and all the rest must come together to stop her.Any more would be giving away things, and I don't want to do that But I'll just say this, a lot more happens than ever happend in the show, and Kagome and Inuyasha even share a kiss. This is the second movie in the series of movies and it's worth finding, though I don't doubt it will be released here in the states soon by the same company who's distributing the series.I cannot stress enough how awesome this movie is, easily bests any american action movie made in the last ten years.Oh yeah, I'm also obsessed with Anime, so my review is a little biased

eternal_chibi You could say that the movie is just a really long epi, but i havent found a moive to a series that wasn't. it starts off with the team killing naraku, hows that for the begining? then kanna and kagura are off to find there 'true' freedom, eventually freeing a trapped imposter nymph. another character is intorduced, akitoki houjo (houjo's anscestor), kagome is kidnapped (suprise)and there are about 3-4 big battles!! all in all everything goes back to normal so how did they surpast the kiss... :D watch to see all in all if u like the series, of corse ull love this movie, if u love sangoxmiroku and kagomexinuyasha you love this movie, no kikyoxinu moments i promise!!

Auryn-4 The movie starts with the supposed killing of Naraku and then introduces a new enemy: Kaguya, who used Naraku's helpers Kanna and Kagura to free herself from her 1000-year prison. Her coming will mean an eternal darkness. She is supposedly the tennyo from the old legend of the angel who lost her feathered robe and was unable to return to her home in heaven. Inuyasha and the gang gets drawn into all of it when Kagura and Kanna appear to steal a part of the Fire Rat Robe that Inuyasha wears (wouldn't it have been safer just to slay a Fire Rat and rent a seamstress to make a robe of it, I wonder... doesn't Kagura and Kanna fear Inuyasha now that he has supposedly killed their old boss?). Anyway, Inuyasha and the gang also meet an ancestor of Houjou-kun, who posesses the tennyo's robe that Kaguya desires. They figure out what's going on and decide to prevent Kaguya from being unleashed.The basic plot is sound, but the movie suffers slightly from involving too many of the IY-characters. Kikyou's scenes are completely unnecessary - the only thing they accomplish is remind us that she is wierd. The Kohaku-story was slightly far-fetched, but given it's final developement, it passes for accetable. At this point, I'm just thankful they didn't try and squeeze Sesshoumaru into the story as well.The problem with the movie is that it's slightly too short. Another 5-10 minutes would have been enough to let the plot sink in and allow the viewer to understand what is going on. For instance, the quick 2-line explanation given as to why Kanna and Kagura starts serving Kaguya doesn't make any sense at all.This movie is, despite its flaws, excellent. It has the regular nice IY-humor, the characters feel deep and real and the Kagome/Inuyasha-relationship is warmer than ever (*sweeet*). The badguy is somewhat shallow and single-minded, but she makes up for it in style. She feels even more powerful than Naraku.This movie is a must-see for anyone who whatches the tv-series. It contains some really longed-for moments and the action is superb. Don't miss it!
