Ninja Scroll

Kagero

This is a pretty good stand-alone movie that takes place in the Edo period. Its about two warriors who must battle against the evil minions of the "Shogun of the Dark," a dark warlord who plans to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate. The bad guys, called the "Eight Devils of Kimon," are superpowered ninja with the ability to control wasps and snakes, generate electricity, turn their skin to stone, or make things explode at will. The good guys consist of a ronin named Jubei who is a master swordsman, and a ninja girl named Kagero, who is the last of her clan with a body that is immune to poison and lethal to touch.

I thought it was a pretty good movie, although it was a bit skimpy on the plot side. There's a pretty ninja girl, a lot of super violence, monsters, blood, severed limbs, and, um... other stuff.

Story Line: Ok. Typical good-guy-against-evil-demons video.

Comedy: None.

Genre: Historic fiction/fantasy. Total Rating: 8/10
