anyone seen this? its a remake of an older character. its about a blind samurai and some other characters and their lives intertwine. the action is really amazing but my problem with it is the lack of music. some scenes just drag on so long with out any sounds and there was a while i thought i might fall asleep. but when ever action kicks up its always good. it has a scene with ninjas too.

I haven't seen the 2003 film yet and it's been a long time since I've seen any of the old films. It really is one of the great Japanese swordfighting/samurai films and TV series. I think Shintaro Katsu made about 25 or 26 films between 1962 and 1974 and made a final film in 1989. I think he died in 1997. I can't remember the actor who played him in the 2003 film. I have noticed the old films are starting to show up on DVD and I may start picking some up, plus the '03 film. I always got the sense that these films were the equivilent of what Western movies and TV series' were like here, in the USA, in the 1960's and early-1970's. A ninja scene is always a plus. ;D
