Heavenly Sword

The movie is great and graphics are really amazing.See it in FULL HD blu-ray on the best TV led are very impressive.I don't know how others saw this movie and saw bad graphics...the texture and expression or modeling was amazing,stunning.Only one thing was bad...the physics of the animation,speed-movement of characters was fast with bad accomplished but...still, it's a movie made it after a game, so what? I never play it Heavenly Sword and now i really want to play this game.The story are strong and dramatic and memorable prime character, Nariko.Of course, Kay are second and maybe forthcoming heroine...

I strongly recommend this movie, without great expectations but with some powerful pleasures...

Goodbye Nariko, peace be with with you!

Loved this Heavenly Sword movie & it has a great storyline to boot that is easy to follow, I totally enjoyed it all the way throughout, Though I do hope that they do make a Heavenly Sword two.

This animated adaptation really falls short in a lot of parts, the worst being the animation itself; it tends to become choppier in some moments and appears very stiff in others, it really ends up looking outdated even for its time. The folks that made this seemed to just not care about certain details, seeing as how Bohan's damaged eye seems to switch sides multiple times or how Nariko's sleeve would suddenly be on the opposite side for 1 scene.

It may have been better if this movie was a little bit longer because believe it or not, I truly believe that this movie suffers from too much action and not very good action at that. All the action left barely any room to build up the story or its characters, it really felt like nothing but action scene after action scene. Unfortunately this led to the characters just becoming bland, due to a severe lack of character development, when they were much more interesting in the video game. Bohan felt like an exceedingly bland character compared to his video game counterpart who was quite sarcastic and funny in some moments. Some changes they made to the story actually ended up ruining some very good character development that occurred in the video game, especially changes made around the character named Shen. They also added a new subplot which ultimately went nowhere and changed nothing at all. The majority of the acting performances also felt quite wooden compared to the game's, even Nariko's VA who did a much better job in the game than she did here.

I really think you'd be better off watching the cutscenes of the video game, which should be just about 2 hours.

Must watch in Blueray. Amazing action sequence. Great Visual. Great Story.

I came to this film because of the games, which I think are good. But this film has only that, a name. When I watch an animation film I expect, nowadays, the graphics will be good, the animations will be smooth, and the faces will show at least some emotion. I have not found any of these in this film. Graphics are very cheap, even pixelated sometimes. Animation seems to come from 10 or 15 years ago. Characters faces are empty of any kind of emotion. So, the technical issue is really bad. I suppose producers thought that with a famous name would be enough, so they decided to spend ass less money as possible here. When we talk about the story or the character development things are only slightly better, but just because it cannot be worse than animation or graphics. Plain characters, no development, plot full of tropes, absolutely predictable. This film is not worth your time.
