The Tale of Zatoichi Reviews
eFilmCritic.com
Brian Mckay
Falls somewhere between the stoic ultra-badness of Lone Wolf and Cub's Ogami Itto, and the sarcastic but good-hearted Yojimbo ... Samurai fans may rejoice
Apollo Guide
Scott Weinberg
Though The Tale of Zatoichi features a few exciting action sequences, this is more of a moody character study than an outright karate flick.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
serves as a good introduction to the character, establishing his major traits and offering a worthwhile narrative
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
Zatoichi is good but not nearly great with some very effective performances.

Watching this film, I saw elements of some of my favorite filmmakers who followed in its footsteps.
