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.

The bullish bandit Goemon was fun to watch for about 10 minutes, until the over-used computer effects and nonsensical plot revealed a film closely related to the equally awful Wild Wild West. Overcooked, overcomplicated and overlong. There are tons of better films, Japanese and otherwise, to spend your time on.

When it calms down it can be compelling - the middle section is great - but the attempt to make a live-action cartoon has rendered it visually incomprehensible.

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.

While the CGI was not up to Hollywood standards I found this to be nicely stylized film with a decent enough story to keep me entertained throughout.

Not for me. The style never won me won me over. Couldn't finish it.

A unique style to the film from the beginning. Good story and action, even if a little weak at times.

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).

From the same director as Casshern and featuring a similar if less well done style. I love Casshern and the stylistic choice in that movie just fits the story and setting, such is not the case with this film. The story is an over long drawn out mess, filled with distracting imagery which seems even worse than then the ones used in 2004. The style takes away from the story rather than enhancing it. I was done with this movie 10 minutes in but forced myself to finish it.
