"Blade of the Immortal" has a breath-taking opening-sequence, some interesting story-bits and twists and a astounding cinematography, but it lacks real emotions, neither does the screenplay live up to the potential of the basic concept. It may not have that well-crafted fight scenes, but there for more heart and a better screenplay. Still, if you want to see a good student-mentor-story even with pretty similar characters, than go and watch "Logan". Although there are some interesting scenes sprinkled throughout the story (some neat interactions between pro- and antagonist the moral ambiguity of certain characters actions - even the character-conflict of Manji).

Yeah i know, this movie wants to be like a fun action-trashfest, but you really could have told a genuint emotionally touching-story with this concept. Last but not least, there is just so much unused potential. Maybe the removal of some fight scenes, would have been a good solution for this problem. It felt like i was watching Ben Hur at times. Thirdly: The pacing of this movie is totally off. Characters change their mind without any reasoning behind it.

Sometimes things happen without any proper explanation. Second: There are way too many situations in the story, where any sort of set-up is missing. I mean, you have all these overpowered beings in the plot, but the only "human" character does not serve well enough as a leading figure? That's one hell of a problem. She was just not interesting enough (the actress was great by the way, so don't blame her).

I understood the idea behind her character (fish out of water etc.), but i couldn't connect with her on a emotional level. First: Our protagonist is a totally useless, unsympathetic, whiny little girl, who doesn't work at all in this kind of plot. Honestly, there are so many flaws in the script, i gave up counting after the 80 minutes-mark of this movie. If only the narrative part of this movie would be as well-crafted as these fight scenes. The cinematography is breathtaking at parts, i particularly liked the opening, shot in black and white - reminded me of the old works of Akira Kurosawa. Takashi Miike is know for his great directing, and "Blade of the Immortal" once again proves, what this man is capable of when it comes to large-set fight/battle-sequences.
