As a fan of the Japanese Samurai movies for over 40 years, this movie simply was one of the worst among the worst samurai movies. The screenplay is terrible, the directing almost non-exist, the scenarios and the plots random and patchy with lot of over-the-top nude and naked female body exposures, light-porn like sexual scenes, it's a shame to involve so many top-tier actors and actresses to be signed up to play roles that were so lame and bland. A very messy samurai movie ever made. The story line was so weak with stuffed scenes to inflate it into a long but totally disconnected production with no feeling, no passion, no.... NOTHING but shallowness to deliver to the audiences. This mini-series really sucked big time!
