Azumi 2 (2005)

Sad It made me sad....

I watched the orignal Azumi and fell in love. The feel of the movie was very anime-eske without being anime, it wraped me up into it with many great points. The shots that were taken were great, the story and plot, and lastly i the swordplay and fight scenes were amazing they were long enough but not to long.
For me Azumi 2 was a serious disappointment i had set time out of my extremely busy schedule to watch and i ended up turning it off about 1/3 to half way through and finishing it another day. It became way to anime the char i had fell in love with (Azumi) didnt even feel the same to me anymore. The villians were seriously out of anime i can mark and name them. The whole reason i enjoyed Azumi was it had a anime feel while still being a story about a the trials and tribulations emotionally and physically, a true Samurai flick. Azumi 2 lacked all that to me November 5, 2008

Azumi Fan

Must see if you have watched Azumi, the first part of the story. This is the conclusion of the story. I like the first movie better. The first one has more action and a more interesting plot. This second movie concentrates more on the emotions and love life of Azumi. However, if you have seen the first one, the second one is a must see so that the story will be complete. Azumi is as beautiful and graceful as she is in the first movie. October 30, 2008

Azumi 2

Not quite as good as the first movie, but I still liked it! If you are a fan of the first movie, you will enjoy the 2nd movie. September 22, 2008

More of the same

First off, let me state that unlike the other reviewers, I didn't really see a difference in the budget {quality} of the film. To be honest, I feel it retains everything that made the original great. However thats part of the problem. I love Asian fiction. From movies to anime. But one thing they tend to do that urks me {in movies more-so than anime} They don't give the hero any worthy foes. Sure the enemies are cool, with special skills and what-not. But its lackluster when the hero {heroine in this case} doesn't so much as break a sweat to dispose of them. Its very easily seen in Azumi{both of them} Instead of killing you in 2 seconds with one swing. It might take her 10 seconds and 3 swings.

But those are minor cons to be honest. The film is still very good. Not really better, but no worse than the first IMO. July 29, 2008

The fighting scenes and the plot are not interesting as part 1 but it's still worth watching.
