The Legend of the Flying Swordsman


Japanese, good subtitles
84 minutes, 2000
1 Star

Rainy Day loves good swordfights, and really looked forward to this movie. The costumes get 5 stars. The movie, not so many; it was disjointed, the use of flashbacks and (I think) flash forwards were not well done. And the soundtrack! Aarrggghhhhh, the sound track sucked bilge water. Had a better soundtrack been used, one that fit the period of the movie and did not intrude into the story, it might have gotten a higher rating. Rainy Day thinks the acting was OK, but she had the idea the director had a hot date and wanted to get this over with ASAP! With a wee bit of work on the director's part, this could have been a great movie. The fight scenes, at best, were mediocre. Rainy Day says, "Don't waste your time with this movie!"

Have you seen this movie? Do you think it's as dreadful as Rainy Day thinks it is? Please, add your comments below, in the appropriate place.
