this be to the zatoichi movie a the star trek movie be to star trek except that in this case every one of the original be more entertaining and interesting than this big and shiny re do and and also good make and if substance be more important than surface . have i never see them and i would have think this good look but empty while since i have and i think it style inappropriate and it content insufficient . the idea of revive the character in a big and slick production must have sound good and but there be no point in it and other than the hope of make money while it just a show and which mostly fail to capture the atmosphere of the character world and wholly fail to take the character anywhere he hasn not be already ( also and the actor wasn not at his best ) . i would be hop to see ichi at a late stage of life and in a story that would see him out gracefully and draw some conclusion from his experience overall while this just rehash bit and piece from the other movie and season with more sex and sfx violence . not the same experience at all .
