Summary: Warlord Toyotumi Hideyoshi rises to power in the late 16th century after the assassination of his lord Oda Nobunaga. In these chaotic times, chivalrous bandit Goemon rises as a hero among commoners, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. In one of his many escapades, he steals a box from a merchant, and passes it off to a street urchin. But this turns out to be no ordinary box as warlord Toyotomi's right-hand man Ishida soon sends ninja and childhood friend Saizo after Goemon. (www.yesasia.com)
One of those great stupid films. It's bombastic, misogynistic, strangely plotted, and stylized to the point of distraction. But the balance of seizure-inducing action with an attempt at character is honorable. Goemon engages your brain just enough for you to care, but it isn't high art and it knows it - so it's nothing to lose sleep over, which is sometimes just what you need.
Very stylish and visually interesting movie with characters who have ninja abilities that are, er, exaggerated a little bit to the point that they can jump in the air and perform video game-like awesomeness. Needless to say, a very good time.
I didn't expect much from the story. Just wanted some entertaining nonsense, and thats basically what this film is. But there are also a lot of really impressive images and sceneries, which are nice to look at (at least, if you like the style).
