What retard daydreams and snickers about how the other guy will fuck up his move when he's 5 inches from your face?

I recently started watching the originals starting with the B+W ones in the early 60s. I'm only at movie 4 now, and, and just based on this clip alone I don't think I can handle the new one. Takeshi Kitano isn't the write director to pull them off in my opinion.

I hated this movie because I watched too many of the original series, which were a hell of a lot more entertaining despite being old and less flashy. And the ending... god damn it.

Two stars for this clip without the context.

This is okay, but yes, there's nothing here that the originals don't do 100X better.

If you haven't seen Zatoichi vs. Yojimbo... oh man!

I may be the only person who likes both the classic Zatoichi movies and Takeshi's update.

The new one is a Takeshi movie first and a Zatoichi movie second. I don't revere the originals, and I like Beat Takeshi, so this movie doesn't offend me. Also:
*spoiler*
1. I like the cgi blood, as cheesy as it is. I thought it was a fun modern addition to the genre.
2. The character that is inspired to become a transvestite by the "sister" is great.
3. The backstories are fun.
4. The final dance number is great, and perfect cap to a movie that doesn't take itself seriously.
