    Great movie, but can you add closed captioning for the English subtitles and upgrade to 4K?

    Real awesome movie, if you enjoy samurai or manga, definitely worth owning. Real good live action movie translation from manga. Great action, great acting.
  • Good times for anime fans

    So much fun! There's a little suspension of disbelief but it willingly given, not forced. The acting and directing were excellent, and the story was worth partaking of in that it wasn't the good vs evil schtick. Just lots of fun, though not overly realistic, gore. A brilliant real-life adaption of manga/anime. The lines were delivered in such a fashion as to be indistinguishable from anime:-)

    Wow, great story line and lots of action. I like how the characters all look like characters fresh of a manga book. This was worth the time to watch.

    13 Assassins was better but this is very close. We should be able to buy this not just rent.

    This was incredible and Takashi Miike, the JP Tarantino, as I call him, did the manga justice. I can’t recommend this enough. Amazing!
  • Worth it

    I mean, as far as revisiting something you used to read when you were 15 years old 20 years ago, this was satisfying. Sequel would be fun!
