Movie Reviews of The Hidden Blade

Movie Review: Magical, Spiritual, and Captivating
Summary: 5 Stars

After seeing the Twilight Samurai, I was totally shocked by its raw truthfulness. I looked for more movies by Yoji Yamada, and I found the Hidden Blade. The Hidden Blade was truly a magical experience. Munezo is a Samurai that empowers the skills of his master to neutralize a political enemy of his lord. The nature of this film is true to history, and will satisfy any history buff. I am in love with this film. No words can truly shed light on this work of art. Buy the movie, you wont be disappointed.

Movie Review: Never gets tired of watching a good samurai story.
Summary: 5 Stars

If you want a true dipection of a great samurai this is it. Japanese or non-Japanese you will watch this one over and over. The Bushido code lives in every scene. There are comedic moments, sad moments and truimphant moments. I stumpled on this movie of all places in a blockbuster international section. After knowing the characters in Hidden Blade, I would not go back to Hollywood so called "samurai movies". Makes me want to bow to my dvd player.

Movie Review: Masterful Samurai movie.
Summary: 5 Stars

In the essence of Kurosawa movies. The move captures the ideals of the Samurai. From the director of The Twilight Samurai, here is a movie that shows both the majestic halls of the Daimyo to the fields of the peasants. It is a tale of love and duty and honor and is written extremely well. While there is only one sword fight scene, the climax that brings you to that scene and of course the battle is done very well. You will enjoy this movie.

Movie Review: Similar But Different
Summary: 5 Stars

We bought this because of *Twilight Samurai*. I do see the similarities between the script for this film and *Twilight*. However, had I chosen a different ending for *Twilight*, this would be it. The hero gets his girl and proposes in a that is both satifactory and romantic.

Movie Review: one of the best japanese samurai genre movies
Summary: 5 Stars

this is a very good movie, quite different from the other samurai movies. it's quite romantic too. a real gem. a samurai with conscience and principles, a country girl with pure heart, loyalty and love. grab this one and enjoy.
