Summary: Personally, I think this is a great movie...
Review: Okay, I will admit, I only figured out that Amakusa was a guy when I watched it the second time around. But tell me, what good anime DOESN'T have some kind of cross-dresser in it?! Anyway, the animation is nice- really clear and bright. And i just love the characters, especially Nakoruru and her hawk! (Ever played Samurai Shodown 2 for NeoGeo Pocket? She looks ADORABLE super-deformed!!)

Summary: Video-game-based anime at its worst.
Review: Simply put, Samurai Shodown is a below average action anime with average dubbing and average art. It is fighting game anime that takes the story from the game and does pretty much nothing with it. Buuuut, that doesn't mean it doesn't have its good parts. In fact, there is a pretty good dose of drama at the scene that occurs after the part when Haohmaru defeats Earthquake, and it's done very well in the dub. Speaking of dubbing, Haohmaru's voice is great (thank goodness, he's the main character), but supporting roles, uh, suck. Galford shows about as much emotion as Amakusa (which is null, by the way), Hanzo's voice is too deep for its own good, and Gen-An is just plain funny. The action scenes in this movie are flat out average. The one thing that almost redeemed the entire movie was the ultra-cool ending theme (not the English credits. Stick around until the Japanese credits roll). Not only does it show additional characters and awesome fight scenes that weren't in the movie (weird), but the nice ending theme, sung in Japanese, is subtitled, with pronunciations! Anyway, if you don't mind a generic plot and want a bit of action, give it a rent.

Summary: complete garbage
Review: This is more of a warning than a review. Some may be tempted by this title's low price. Others may consider buying it because they are fans of the popular video game series it is based on. I warn you all not to be tempted. The voice acting in the dubbed version is some of the worst that I have ever heard. It is not only poorly done but sometimes entirely nonsensical (macho fighter characters with girly voices..etc). The dialogue is silly, insipid and often incoherent. The plot is at best weak. Characters wander in and out and the story wanders back and forth. The animation is the best aspect of this title and it is merely average or a bit below. In short, this title is atrocious. If you want swords and sorcery action, buy Ninja Scroll and pass on this dog.

Summary: This story has a fantasy feel to it.
Review: This movie is action packed. It also has a fantasy feel to it. I don't know why, but the movie is absolutely fun. I like all the battle scenes, and I also like how one of the holy warriors nearly turns to the dark side in this movie as he tries to avenge the murder of his family. I highly recommend this film to future anime fans

Summary: Look out!
Review: This review is another warning for people who for some reason or another may feel some sort of an inclination to purchase this video. If you enjoy the video game at all then leave this movie be it will disappoint you in every possible way. My only gripe is that I bought it when if first game out so I paid a lot more for this movie, which I painfully regret even to this day.

Summary: ugh
Review: To put it simply, this is a bad, bad movie, an example of what happens when you try to make a video game into a movie. The animation is badly done, the voice acting sub-par --the voices don't even match the characters very well -- and the frequent action sequences are retro to the extreme and just don't look good.... I'm sorry to everyone who liked this film, but I love all anime, and I couldn't get halfway through this one. Avoid this movie at all costs.
Rating:
Summary: DON`T SEE THIS MOVIE
Review: Well, where to start. Horrible plot and story line and very boring. The white blood in fight scenes gets completly on your nerves, animation is of average quality. The dubbing is annoying. Over all NOT worth seeing.
