Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto

This will be a very brief review because this film is one part of a Japanese samurai trilogy. They all star the amazing ToshirĂ´ Mifune, and tell the tale of a man in his quest to become a samurai. Every review I've seen has told me to hang on to my horses and not judge the first film too harshly without seeing the others. So all I'll say is that this first film is a bit confusing because a lot of storylines are being woven together that I imagine play parts in the next two films. Stay tuned...

original title: Miyamoto Musashi
year: 1954
length: 93 min.
rating: 3.0
IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047444/combined
