Loved it, Watch it. Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
In the long list of Asian popcorn movies, those films you can sit back and just enjoy, this ranks right up there.

Granted the fights might not be as technically proficient as some of the HK movies around but everything else about this film is fantastic. A hot chick wading through hordes of evildoers wielding a Samurai sword, what more could you want.

This one surprised me! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I typically am not a fan of these CG-enhanced films featuring pretty pop stars as master swordsmen (or swordswomen), but I must make an exception for "Azumi". Once the film gets cranked up, it is one long high-octane adrenaline rush. The film's culminating battle scenes are a wonder to behold; the filmmakers create images and use colors in ways I've not seen before.

Moreover, the film has a good story to tell. Superficially, the story is about a rojin who seeks to end Japan's unceasing civil wars by grooming a team of young killers to assassinate warmongering warlords. However, the film's real story is about how Azumi (Ueto Aya), the most skilled of the young killers, comes to terms with her mission. On this level, the film works wonderfully well.

I was not thrilled with how the film ends; it is nothing more than a bald attempt to set up a sequel. This quibble does not deter me from recommending this film very highly. It is a sword-slashing, blood-spurting, action-packed blast!

 Potential that fizzles out Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
Have the Japanese version of this. It views like your manga-action movie with typical characters but I will always prefer an old school samurai (chambara) movie over this modern-ish "ninja" display. After the initial gut wrenching 'kill your childhood friend' test occurs, the audience suffers a loss of attachment with the characters regardless of the attempts in story & interpersonal complications the movie tries to throw at you.

 Pretty Good Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I bought this movie, because it looked and sounded good. I had my doubts however, I've been disappointed by movies that only looked good before, but I was not regretful upon watching Azumi. The story line is a little simple, which isn't a bad thing, because the storytelling is good. The sequence of events moves at a pace that doesn't lose interest. The highlights of the movie is definitely the action and sword fighting. The drawback about many Korean DVDs is that the special features are never subtitled in English, which defeats one of the purposes of buying a DVD. However the price on Azumi now is much cheaper then before. So, for anyone that enjoys ancient Asian fighting movies, this is a film worth seeing.

 Best movie by Aya ueto Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Normally i dont like sword action films because i find them boring,but after watching this movie it changed my mind.I love the way how Aya performs her actions and the way she acts.The good thing about this movie is theres no stunt person to do the actions for Aya because she does all the moves herself.After seeing the movie i became a big fan of Aya because of her talent.

I hate animated DVD menus! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Azumi is a cool samurai flick! Lots of swords & slicing. Well worth watching, but not recommended for the squeemish. Based on a Japanese manga, it made a good transition to live-action. (I haven't seen a lot of actual manga-to-films, but I have seen a lot of films that felt like manga-wannabes, which usually turned out stupid.)

If, like me, watching this Korean edition DVD will be your first time to ever see the film, you'll want to somehow avoid watching the unskippable pre-main-menu-video, which is a spoiler showing the climatic ending of the film!

Good English subtitles, bytheway...

...and if the DVD publishers are reading this: Because the Korean release of the sequal, "Azumi 2," DIDN'T include ENGLISH SUBTITLES, I didn't buy it! If it had included English subtitles, I would have pre-ordered it! That simple omition cost y'all a large market share.

Wonderful movie! Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I have only seen this movie in Japanese thusfar, but that was enough. The director, scriptor, and actors in this movie did an absolutely wonderful job. Even without knowing what they were saying, the storyline and basic message of the movie was still easy to see. And, as a martial artist, I have great respect for the incredible choreography in this movie. I highly reccomend it. God bless!

Azumi Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Caught this genius film yesterday and it blew me away...it has tons of style, violence, emotion, great choreography and fight scenes, fantastic characters...and the beautiful and sexy Aya Ueta cutting it up as Azumi...the last time I felt the same kind of passion about a samurai style film was Shogan Assasin...Kill Bill was very good but this is in a class of its' own!!! Can't wait to buy Azumi 2: Death or Love...any news on this is most welcome as I know it's out in Japan now!!!
