The Hidden Blade

Nope... looks like a standard cookie cutter Asian epic film. I'm not necessarily saying that's a bad thing but the originality just isn't there. I mean... come on. "A great warrior"..."A forbidden love"..."in a time of turmoil"... How offen have I heard THAT before?

Meh, I like Akira Kurasawa's old films. Plus I totally enjoyed Clavell's Shogun. Musashi was a great book, too. They are like American Westerns.
 
The whole clip is a bunch of people looking at each other, separated by fighting. You can't even tell what it's about.

Also, it needs that narrator with the deep voice going "In a world....."
