Anyone else wish it was just the good parts? *spoilers*


Every once in a while I'm in the mood for an action movie and I remember Versus. Then I remember that amazing sword fight at the end, the bad ass villain whoa assembles his sword out of the briefcase, and that awesome final scene in the future, and I'm like hell yes! Best sword fight in a movie ever.. I think yes! Those two main actors had amazing chemistry as characters.

Then I remember the other yakuza zombies and I realize why I rarely put this movie in. The big chunk of the movie involving zombies is just... hard to get through. Don't get me wrong I enjoy zombie movies as well but it's like it's from a completely different movie, drags those awesome scenes down into a C-list movie.

So I wish they took the plot of two guys meeting to kill eachother in the woods, and put it into a better movie. Maybe this would be only 40 minutes long or something, I'm not really sure. The story is actually pretty bad ass for an action movie (two guys destined to meet and kill eachother in the woods over some dimensional portal). What do you think?

I understand that some people like the cheesy gore zombies, but I really just don't think they mesh with the outstanding final fight - which is tastefully and stylishly done.
