★★★★ · A more pensive film · DK1329 · 2025-12-12
A more somber entry in the series, with fewer of the bizarre, comic book-style elements of the earlier films and a more sedate plot. Still manages the usual insane finale, though, with samurai being hacked in half at the waist and blood fountaining from every stab wound.
