Azumi 2 [DVD]

Let me chime in on this movie, I’ve read where some say this wasn’t as good as the first one, I totally disagree with their depiction of this second movie, I found it quit as good and entertaining as the first movie, there were some far out scenes in this movie as was in the first movie, but I do recommend that you see this version so you can better understand the the conclusion of the plot this movie portrays, the conclusion come full circle to its cinematic ending, but I wish there was a part three to see where Azumi’s life leads to. But if you saw the first one you need to add the second one to your library of DVD’s.

Item arrived in good condition

I really enjoyed the first Azumi, but I knew that this movie had a different director than the first movie. I didn't quite enjoy it as much as the first, but I don't have regrets buying this. Aya Ueto is just as beautiful here in this movie and is quite a solid actress (as well as being a Jpop star in real life), and there's also the girl from Kill Bill too, which was a nice surprise. I think if you liked the first movie, you'll still enjoy it.

Let's put it this way, when I watched the first AZUMI, I fell in love with it and watched it again a few days later. Then watched it a 3rd time in another few days.I love Aya Ueto, the lead actress playing Azumi. I love all the other actors/actresses as well. (Even my home girl, veteran actress Reiko Takashima) but AZUMI 2 was a little bit of a let down. Don't get me wrong, it is in fact an entertaining movie. But it lost the "spark" of the first film. I recommend AZUMI 2 to fans of Asian cinema, Action films and Movie Buffs.Can you live with out seeing Azumi 2? Yes, you can. But if you like the actors and actresses, and these types of films then it is at least worth checking out.

very few sequels are good. fewer sequels pick up where the last one left off. even more seldom do you get the rare combination of both. but with Azumi2 you get just that. same characters from the first (well, only 2 survived but watch it for the twist). she continues the same mission and is just as kick ass as she was originally. this movie was great. this is why asian cinema is so amazing. they break barriers with their originality and follow-ups. another very good movie. almost as good as the original.

Must see if you have watched Azumi, the first part of the story. This is the conclusion of the story. I like the first movie better. The first one has more action and a more interesting plot. This second movie concentrates more on the emotions and love life of Azumi. However, if you have seen the first one, the second one is a must see so that the story will be complete. Azumi is as beautiful and graceful as she is in the first movie.

Item was great it is the right dvd I ask for.So very happy with purchase delivery was good.I would order from this person again.

just to let everyone know the item description does not say it is dub in English only Japanese, however it is 5.1 English surround. i was going to return it till i found one that was English dub, happy to know when i open package that i didn't have to sit there and read while trying to watch the action. I loved the first one, but i haven't really had time to sit a watch this one.. so i cant give a proper review. BTW the ISBN 1-932471-43-X is the copy to get if you want English dub

Ich muss sagen diese Fortsetzung ist echt gelungen, was im Filmgeschäft ja häufig in die Hose gegangen ist. Dafür, dass der 2te Teil ab 16 ist, wird jedoch ordentlich mit den Katanas ausgeteilt, sprich: es fließt nicht weniger Blut, als beim Vorgänger. Die Kampfszenen sind mal wieder perfekt in Szene gesetzt, und die Geschichte wird gut weitergeführt, auch wenn viele es für eine typischen Attentäter Film aus Japan halten ohne Tiefsinn, oder es wird die überwiegend negative Grundstimmung im Film kritisiert, was ja gerade die Situation von Azumi ausmacht. Es ist nun mal ihr Schicksal, dass Menschen, die ihr viel bedeuten, der Tod ereilt, während sie weiterlebt, was ihr Meister schon im ersten Teil sagt, dass sie leben soll. Azumi ist unglücklich mit ihrem Schicksal, weil sie nicht weiss, ob die Menschen die sie tötet wirklich schlechtere Menschen sind, als ihre Auftragsgeber ( siehe Teil 1 ), und warum wegen einem Menschen, der böses beabsichtigt und sterben soll unschuldige zusätzlich ihr Leben lassen müssen. Sie versucht den Sinn ihrer Mission zu hinterfragen. Bild und Tonqualität sind sehr gut. Wem der erste Teil gefallen hat, dem wird der zweite genauso gefallen, muss aber nicht:-)

Bei dem Erfolg des 1 teils musste es ja eine Fortsetzung geben. Diesmal setzt der Film nicht so sehr auf Humor sondern eher auf gute Kämpfe (hatte der 1 teil auch). Dazu noch Chiaki Kuriyama (meine lieblingsjapanerin) als böse, wirklich nicht schlecht. Die Kämpfe sind sehr kreativ und anschaulich. Für Fans des ersten teils ist er pflicht!

man kann zu diesem artikel nicht viel schreiben.die filme sind einfach top......ein muß :))ware wurde sehr schnell geliefert und auch alles in einem top zustand

Eine schöne Fortsetzung des ersten Teils der Reihe. Stimmige Charaktere und gut gearbeitete Handlung. Empfehlenswert für die Altersklasse und den Genre iebhabern.

May not be for everybody but me my expectations based on reviews.
