Well, I'm not sure what to think. While watching the movie I thought it just didn't make any sense, but the two reviews up here now say it's a comedy, so it's possible that it's just making fun of bad samurai pictures. But really, nothing is much more than mildly amusing in the movie. So if it's a Wet Hot American Summer-styled parody then I'll just say I didn't really get it. Because the story makes just as much sense as the purposely senseless story of that movie. But that still wouldn't make it all that funny, in my opinion. But I think the movie would be more fun if you go into it thinking of it as a parody.
Still, I didn't really mind the senselessness that much, I just sort of went along with the flow, and Tatsuya Nakadai's performance alone is enough of a reason to see the movie.
score 6/10
