The swordplay in The Princess Blade is pretty incredible. The cinematography allows you to see the fights in detail but still allows the aesthetics of the choreography to be seen. The story, while simple, is easily to follow and allows you understand and care for the characters right off the bat. I've seen many reviewers complain that the middle of the film was slow. In other words, there is a story between the fighting. If you want a good story and excellent fight scenes, The Princess Blade should be next on your "to watch" list.  "Worthy, Yet Overhyped, Effort"After checking out this movie from hearing so much about it, I definitely had to say that this movie was okay. The movie felt very professional and had a lot of potential, but in the end it seemed forcelly chopped up and incomplete. I really wished this movie went into a lot more detail and filled in some of its plot holes. If you're an Asian cinema fan, it's worth a look. I would highly recommend a very similar, yet more complete and superior, Japanese flick called "Azumi" by Kitamura, which came out around the same time. "A film that's a perfect companion to Azumi!"Princess Blade was a great film about a female assassin trying to forge a better life for herself. I loved the film for it's setting and look into a futuristic vision of a Japan going back to it's samarai like roots. What really struck me about this movie was that it was like a companion piece to another film that I truly love. That other film is Azumi about another female assassin who has an important decision to make. Azumi has to deal with a lot of the same problems that Yuki has to confront. Both lose their mothers and have father figures that prove false to them. I saw Princess Blade first and throughly enjoyed it, but I would also like to recommend getting Azumi. You'll find that it has a lot in common with this film. |
