ok, i liked the movie, so im not a troll, but i hate how bad ass he was throughout the whole movie, did he even have a scratch at the end? it was ridiculous, there was no outside struggle for him. Now he did have internal struggles with-in himself which kind of made up for it but still. Look at Ninja Assassin, Rain was messed up at the end of that movie, he almost died like twenty times, thats how a hero should be, overall conquer but be half dead by the end

Though the end of Ninja Assassin sucked. The master had "mad more skillz" than him and yet he still lost. Boo

I'd agree. To call what they were doing "sword fighting" would imply there was an actual fight or that there swords some how made contact. Really he would just run up and slice through 10 guys with a flick of his wrist every time without even looking like he had to try. I guess it looked cool but made for a less interesting movie.

Lmao @ this thread...good one!

There were all sorts of problems with this film but yeah the so-called fighting was beyond boring...I found myself on the verge of napping during the fight scenes...Not good!

Who needs realism when you want to get as much money out of the screening as possible. Making actors always appear most attractive/coherent as possible might seem like a good idea, so scratches and bruises are out of the question.
But very good point though, the protagonist ends up being like Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen.

[–] quik_silver 13 years ago

You have a point there. The protagonist should at least appear to have some disadvantage or weakness that puts him on par with this enemies, even though you know he's never gonna lose/die in the end (atleast not in these type of movies)

But they seem to have gone in the other direction with this one where they've made him an ultra bad-ass and they've taken it so over the top that it's fresh again. I loved how extremely bad ass they made him.

There was one scene where the towns people were getting owned by the bandits and suddenly he appears in the background and I was like okay...now they're in trouble and he does a sliding slice through everyone taking a few heads off. Really bad ass. That's when I realized they've taken it to the correct amount that even though you're not worried about his safety, you just wanna see him ooze that bad-assery on screen and cut through dozens of ninjas/bandits single-handedly without batting an eyelid.

Yep the person i saw this film with keep saying to me every now & then "its not too late to walk out of this theater" but i kept promising her it had to get better...It never did! Pure Razzie award winning garbage of the highest order!

[–] Slaid 13 years ago

I definitely agree.

At the end I kept thinking he was going to get raped or something but he raped everyone else.

I work at a movie theater so I sat in on the last 40 minutes or so and I have no desire to watch the beginning.

well like i said, i find it very important for the main character to face many struggles, think of the best hero's in cinema history, John Mclane...Jack Sparrow...Spiderman...Iron Man...Batman, (i know some of those arent the greatest but those are the ones that just came to me), but they all have struggles
John: is always beaten up at the end of every film, goin to the hospital or what not
Jack: is scared of fighting the bad guy and even dies in the second movie
Spiderman: always gets his ass kicked at the end, gettin his costume ripped up
Iron Man: got his ass kicked at the end of 1 and on the race track in 2
Batman: got shot and fell 30 feet at the end of TDK

it's a freaking movie for $#!$% sake!

[–] coolaree 13 years ago

Agreed, OP. It was cool to watch sure but yeah you kinda lose that connection to the character when he's so godlike.
Kate Bosworth vs Danny Huston was prob the best fight in the movie cause they both took hits and were mortal.

The main character was the Greatest Swordsmen Ever.

[–] dono638 10 years ago

you can be the best ever, but to not take a single scratch from hundreds of highly trained ninjas, now I could definitley see the best swordsman in the world beating hundreds of ninjas...but to not even get hurt in the process? It just seemed to ridiculous for me.

[–] Joselo16 13 years ago

What DrChrisCooper said!!! They state that he is the "Greatest Swordsmen Ever" in the very beginning, after he easily dispatches the previous best! I actually enjoyed the fact that he was a bad-ass! Plus all the other ninjas sucked, I mean who keeps rushing at a Gatling gun, head on in a small hallway, with the lights on?! At least he was smart enough to know that you try to gain the advantage over the enemy, which for ninjas would be stealth(lights out)!

[–] Francis_Castiglione 13 years ago

lol yeah in most movies I'd have a problem with it, but it's nice when a character is presented as the BEST and he doesn't *beep* around when he has to kill.

[–] grruff182 13 years ago

I guess no one told Kurt Wimmer when he made "Equilibrium" because Christian Bale just mows through guys in that movie very much like this guy in this movie.
