Probably best samurai movie not made by Kurosawa
5 October 2002
This is a great samurai movie. Set in the period of the 1600s, has great costuming, especially the armor. Shows the contrast of the samurai using both the traditional Japanese assymetrical long bow, and the arquebus (firearm) introduced to them by the Europeans. The battle sequences are very well done. Only way it could have been done any better is if Kurosawa did it.....
