Reviews

chrichtonsworld Maybe I missed something. We have two men,one woman in one building. One man is a samurai and the other admits being a demon. First they eat and drink and talk. Nothing wrong with that. Until the samurai is asked by the demon,(war god) to kill him because he is tired. The samurai refuses since he doesn't believe him. After a short fight he finally believes him and accepts the demon's request. Now this promises a wonderful duel between the two. I must admit, I saw some good action. In my opinion it wasn't intense enough. When they fight,there are to many breaks in between that ruin the pace of the movie. And that is a bad thing because the pace is to slow from the start. There is nothing wrong with dialog. But for me this wasn't interesting enough. And I could forgive this if the action sequences would have been better,but that was not the case. Judging by the other reviews this movie is a masterpiece! I disagree. I just don't have the patience to watch a movie like this.

scobbah When you're preparing yourself to tune in to a Ryuhei Kitamura movie, you know that the experience will be intense, original and it will most likely make you hunger for more. I am a fan of this director and 'Aragami' didn't disappoint me. The plot were at first quite mystic to me when reading it, but I got caught up fast with the plot once the movie had started. Kitamura's movies in my humble opinion often have great dialogs but 'Aragami' has something beyond this - the dialogs are superb. Anyone doubting in Japanese movies should give this a try if you have a special liking about samurais and mystical magics. Another great reason to not give Hollywood a second thought. This movie quickly turns out to be one amongst my favorite Kitamura movies. 9/10!

Brooke Being a Kitamura fan already, I came into this film with somewhat high expectations. After seeing it twice, I can say they fulfilled every one. The dialogue between Takao Osawa (the Samurai) and Masaya Kato (Musashi Miyamoto) carried this film as did the brilliantly choreographed sword play. In comparison to Kitamura's previous films: Versus and Alive, the female role played by Kanae Uotani speaks volumes in her lack of dialogue. Her mystery only adds to the plot, leaving much to the imagination. For only one set, the temple is quite possibly the most unique characteristic of the entire film. Its almost Gothic flair helps touch on the western and/or European influences that play a huge role in this film. I highly recommend Aragami, it's unlike any samurai film I've ever seen! 10/10!

aznraverb0ii I Love this movie. The story was a bit confusing but either then that the movie was near perfect.The action was very well choreographed and was not Very over the top like MGSTTS but it was still Over the top action considering how Samurai Films are made nowadays.There was this one part that amazed me were the Temple was all dark and all you can see of them was when the swords collide that was sooo coool. And i love the soundtrack. If you loved the soundtrack from all his other movies then you would love this soundtrack.
