Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Logan Dodd There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Yashua Kimbrough (jimniexperience) Just for the beginning and the ending .. Masterclass Blood Spray .. Elegant, the blood sprays with the wind creating a mist on cam, the blood fusing in the sandSupposedly one of Quentin T's favorite bloodspray movies --------------------------------------- Lone Wolf and Cub are living up the assassin life and Yagyu monks hunt him everywhere he goes. Yagyu hires Sayaka and her band of female assassin's to kill Ogami, currently employed in her town Akashi. The Awa Domain hires Ogami to kill a traitor of their underground Indigo business. The traitor escaped to the next Domain over, awaiting the arrival of the Shogunate escorts, BenTenRai, to safely bring him to Edo.Before Ogami faces the Three Brothers he must first take out Sayaka, her band of assassin's, and Kurokuwa-Yagyu monks. He has his first showdown with the Three Brothers boarding a burning ship where they first discover his identity. As Ogami trails the Three Brothers, Sayaka trails him to avenge her fallen clan. She fails her assassination, but ends of falling for Ogami after she shares a cuddle session with him and his son - naked. Final showdown takes place on the beach in a land of sand - bandits attempt to ambush the Three Brothers escorting the traitor of the clan but failed miserably. Lone Wolf awaits at the top of sand dune - and cuts them all down one by one.
gavin6942 Trailed by a clan of female ninja, Ogami is paid to assassinate a clan traitor accompanied by three killers known as the Monks of Death.The English title refers to the River Styx, which strictly speaking is not accurate. Instead it should be the Sanzu River, or River of Three Crossings, which is a Japanese Buddhist tradition and religious belief similar to the Greek concept of the River Styx. It is believed that the dead must cross the river on the way to the afterlife, a belief reflected in Japanese funerals when six coins are placed in the casket with the dead. The change is understandable, but unfortunate.Anyway, this ongoing adventure is just great. A samurai assassin with a small child in tow. Not really a baby, but a toddler in a stroller or buggy. Not being familiar with the manga, I think this is a brilliant idea and I am somewhat surprised it has not been remade by an American director.
jolgo13 This is the second film in the 7 film series based on the Japanese manga series. Even though I'd say the manga series tops it these films hold their own against lots of other films, even today. This film gain takes several aspects of the mnga, plot and other little things thrown in and mixes it up. The result turns out great. The gore in this one tops 'Sword of Vengance' and that is no small task but it is not realistic and made so on purpose. The final duel between Ogami and the Masters of Death is a great one. The head splitting scene sticks out the most I'd say. Or the `Wailing of the Wintery Wind' which was actually called `Flute of the Falling tiger' in the manga. That (for those who haven't seen it) is when Ogami slices a diagonal cut on the 3rd ones neck causing blood to come out and make a whistling sound. In the manga it sprays a bit and he falls dead. However in the film it sprays then he falls and it gushes out. I didn't get why. Another key fight is with the Kurokawa in the forest with his double spear. Also when Diagoro is rolled in the cart and cuts the legs of two of the ninja.that's a good bit.All in all the films can't be compared to the comics. They lack the emotional depth and some other things. But they stand on their own, as great pieces of art.
soytupadre ogami itto still in the path of avenge his wife,this time he has to fight yaigiu ninjas,killer women, and three weird guys that uses unusual weapons. i found this part better then the first part because there is much more action.
