Summarize the following movie reviews:

1. Well, this particular fantasy surely lost its novelty value a while back, and frankly never did much for me anyhow.
2. What will slay you first--the often histrionic acting or the drag-out boredom of that hulking, two-hour-plus thing in the distance that faintly resembles a plot?
3. An extraordinary film.
4. Kitamura's visual power thankfully never drowns out the story's.
5. Nothing can lift the glaze from your eyes through the endlessly recurring hokey fight scenes of the movie's interminable 128-minute running time.
6. Azumi may be an outstanding assassin, but the makers of this movie killed any chances of her being the next great action hero.
7. The raw visceral pleasures are enough to carry the film past some clunky melodrama that bloats the film to a two-hour-plus run time.
8. The tone is bleak and the comic-book violence relentless, but the wirework and Yuta Morokaji's stunt choreography are impressive.
9. It's a zippy time-passer.
10. Ryuhei Kitamura is 37, but he makes films like a 15-year-old fanboy. That is, he has no sense of story, his visual style is basically point-and-shoot, the boys are cool and rebellious and the girls are cute.
This adaptation of the popular manga series offers exquisitely choreographed violence -- and little else.
