Despite its title, Samurai Showdown is actually a series based on an SNK video game that was re-edited into this longer format. During a rebellion against the Shogun, six "Holy Warriors" were betrayed by their seventh comrade, Schiro, who became Amakusa, the servant of an evil god. One hundred years later, five of the warriors--Charlotte, Wan Fu, Nakoruru, Galford, and Tam Tam--have been reborn and become aware of their identities. They're searching for the sixth warrior, who turns out to be the good-natured galoot Haohmaru. Amakusa's forces destroy his home village, causing Haohmaru to awaken to his destiny. The reunited Warriors join the people's revolt against the Shoguns, who have become puppets of Amakusa. The hokey dialogue and over-the-top vocal performances only weaken the already flimsy plot of this silly martial arts fantasy. (Rated 12 and older: violence, alcohol use, minor profanity) --Charles Solomon

Summary: Save your hard earned money
Comment: Stay away from this movie. Keep a distance of 100 yards or greater at all times. This movie is a total piece of somethin. Terrible voice overs, ghetto 80's art, dumb plot. Go buy a value meal or something instead.

Summary: Samurai Shodown" Game or Movie?"
Comment: I have the movie and I agree with both reviewers that there are some bad elements of the movie. I was not too impressed about the battle scenes. I was hoping to have more sequences of the bad guys and the goods guys with all the characters in the movie. Instead they restricted most of the power abilities they could have shown in the movie. If they have took the effort to make a great movie, there would have made enough money to make a trilogy. Within the story line of the games, there was a whole lot more going on in the story then what they showed in the movie. I own the movie and regardless of its aweful film, I bought it because its my favourite game. I am glad another Samurai Shodown game cam out onto the Playstation 2. I was so upset about SNK disapearing forever..(Really the person who made this movie should realize that its a Japanese game, so it should've been spelled correctly. SAMURAI SHODOWN NO "W")
Thanks for reading my review.

Summary: ugh
Comment: To put it simply, this is a bad, bad movie, an example of what happens when you try to make a video game into a movie. The animation is badly done, the voice acting sub-par --the voices don't even match the characters very well -- and the frequent action sequences are retro to the extreme and just don't look good.... I'm sorry to everyone who liked this film, but I love all anime, and I couldn't get halfway through this one. Avoid this movie at all costs.

Summary: Don't Listen to others, listen to me!
Comment: I just saw this movie and it was great. I have the movie dubbe in english not english subtitles. When I bought it today, I was amazed at the animation and when Haohmaru defeats Earthquake and
Genan was done beautifully. Although, what was weird is that Ukyo
was on the cover but not in the movie, you only see Ukyo at the Japaneese credits(weird huh?)anywase. A good movie, and a good video game.
