the movie deserve negative . 1 . 5 star for the girl and ( i be sorry i be bias and i think pretty girl be the only highlight of the movie ) and and 0 . 5 for the fact that it be short than azumi 1. i watch azumi 1 and 2 in 1 seating . i amaze myself be able to sit through it . let talk about the plus point of the movie . the girl . ueto aya be cute . thats all there be to salvage the whole movie . the fact be and if the main character be male and i be sure that most people ( include me ) would not have touch the movie at all . now let talk about the minus point . firstly and it be real draggy and with lot and lot of repeat scene . scene of nachi and azumi keep come back . it seem more like a drama way of shoot . typical japanese drama love flashback and and this movie too . secondly and the movie be too unrealistic in a historical setting . i do not mind unrealistic movie . but this movie be like a poor way of show creativeness and by throw in ninja that act like bear and spider web and etc . it remind me of shinobi and though shinobi be a movie with a fantasy setting . moreover and to portray i do not know what effect and the director films people die with blood spraying ( literally ) all around . people not realize their head be cut off . etc . etc . etc . too many of these spoil the show . it seem like the anime influence be strong in this movie . it degrade the show greatly . thirdly and isn not azumi suppose to be an assassin . she seem more like an one man army to me and just that she be a female . i do not think you see assassin charge into army camp . the only time i felt she act assassin like be when she kill the kiyomasa kato at the end of azumi 1. lastly and the plot be thin in both movie . it a linear plot with no development and surprise in any way .
