i got halfway through this and lemme say you can really feel the fact this is 150 minutes long. i appreciate miike because he's got a sense of humor and the fact his movies feel like movies and not j-dramas... but this barely had any levity and i found it about as interesting as the manga, which is not a whole lot. to me it just reads as a string of violent, meaningless sword fights. read

The length of this really hurt it for me, I like long movies and they can even be slow and meditative, but so many scenes in Blade of the Immortal just felt unnecessarily drawn out without giving any more impact than they would have if they were cut down more. I did enjoy the slaughterhouse that this film was; somehow Miike feels restrained here even though there is plenty of blood (although I could have used some more blood spurts), chopped-off limbs, and more. The black and white opening looked great, and I liked the transition to color once Manji gets the bloodworms but I would have loved... read
