Summary: It's pretty good
Review: Hey! I have been reading these reveiws and I'm pretty pissed off! Sure it's not a street fighter or vampire hunter d, but it's still good, The characters are done well, with good voices, and let's not forget the song at the end, it's a anime good for a rainy day.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Samurai Showdown is a Let Down!
Review: I am a pretty big anime fan and I am not quick to judge, but this is definetly not on my top ten list. I rented it having high hopes, but I ended up wishing that I hadn't stayed up to watch it. Fans of the videogame have probably already seen it, so if your just a person looking for a good anime to watch, find something else. It looked like it might be good at first, but the plot never went that far, and everything had a kinda vague feeling to it. It had 2 or 3 good fight scenes, and a little bit of humor, but that's about it. I would not recommend buying it, but it might be worth renting.

If you want a good videogame anime, try the Dark Stalkers series.

Summary: AD Vision presents: Matt Greenfield as Earthquake!
Review: I have no idea why AD Vision decided to make this their first dubbed release, but all I can say is that, uh, Shiro Tokisada Amakusa (the bad guy with the makeup)is MALE. Talk about not knowing a production's storyline. Good thing AD Vision released Dirty Pair, otherwise I might not have forgiven them for this....

Summary: Samurai Shodown" Game or Movie?"
Review: I have the movie and I agree with both reviewers that there are some bad elements of the movie. I was not too impressed about the battle scenes. I was hoping to have more sequences of the bad guys and the goods guys with all the characters in the movie. Instead they restricted most of the power abilities they could have shown in the movie. If they have took the effort to make a great movie, there would have made enough money to make a trilogy. Within the story line of the games, there was a whole lot more going on in the story then what they showed in the movie. I own the movie and regardless of its aweful film, I bought it because its my favourite game. I am glad another Samurai Shodown game cam out onto the Playstation 2. I was so upset about SNK disapearing forever..(Really the person who made this movie should realize that its a Japanese game, so it should've been spelled correctly. SAMURAI SHODOWN NO "W")
Thanks for reading my review.

Summary: Awesome stuff.
Review: I honestly think that this movie is a lot better than those other people say it is. Storyline is good, music was absolutely cool, not quite breathtaking, but good enough, and I liked the characters. I haven't played the game, but this movie was good enough for me. I call this a purchase, not a rent. This movie deserves a better chance than the people here have...

Summary: Don't Listen to others, listen to me!
Review: I just saw this movie and it was great. I have the movie dubbe in english not english subtitles. When I bought it today, I was amazed at the animation and when Haohmaru defeats Earthquake and
Genan was done beautifully. Although, what was weird is that Ukyo
was on the cover but not in the movie, you only see Ukyo at the Japaneese credits(weird huh?)anywase. A good movie, and a good video game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I like Samurai Showdown! don't listen to these reviews!
Review: I like Samurai Showdown! It's a very good anime translated to the Video game. This is a good anime movie! Samurai Showdown is much better then some anime out there. The Movie has a-lot action, story, and amazing effects. Don't listen to those other reviews. they don't know good anime when they see them.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: play the game, skip the movie
Review: I was disappointed in "Samurai Shodown". This is just another example of a good video game turned into a bad movie. Anime fans should stay away from this one. The dubbing is terrible (as with most voiceovers) and the characters have been a bit twisted from the video game image. The plot leaves something to be desired. My advice, buy the game and play it, forget the movie.
