If you love epic battles with lots of (human) extras and colorful armies, this film is definitely for you. It's not unlike Kurosawa's Ran, only a bit shorter, tighter and slightly more impressive. These samurai war films aren't really my thing though, so two hours was still a bit too much to be able to fully appreciate it. There are some impressive battle scenes here. The colors pop, the camera work is nice and Kadokawa has a good eye for lighting and composition. I do get bored with these big battles rather quickly, and the plot doesn't offer too much intrigue. Still, I think it's one of the better films in its genre, it's just that the genre isn't really for me. Read all
