These reviews are not hitting the serious flaws in this movie.
First of all no one is mentioning the complete 180 degree turn in Jino's attitude towards Afro. When the series originally ended it left viewers with Jino showing up to battle Afro one more time, wrapped up in all the remaining headbands. What happened to that?!
Also Jino HATES Afro. He died twice trying to kill him, why then in this movie does he try to save Afro's life?
Furthermore, why is Afro such a weakling in this movie?! He nearly dies around 4 times in the entire movie, yet in the series he doesn't even come close to dying aside from getting hit with an RPG. Through out the movie Afro gets beat up and at one point he even flees a battle against the number 2. The epitome of Afro's lackluster performance is the scene where he is at the mercy of the Sio and Jino. Speaking of which the antagonists had plenty of opportunities to KILL Afro. Words cannot further describe the nonsensical of this.
Lastly, my biggest complaint lies with the final scenes of the movie. During the entire movie the characters Sio and Jino have been hyped up with mad sword skills but in the end they get murdered by Afro's cloned dad without much of a fight and they don't even fight Afro himself. WHY?! Also the final fight with Afro's dad is left up to the viewers imagination.
In conclusion this movie is a huge letdown, a major disappointment and frankly a waste of your time and insult to the Afro Samurai series. Had it not been for blind luck, and the stupidity of the villains Afro would've been dead.
