Samurai III: Duel at Ganryu Island (1956)
You mean to tell me that three films were needed to tell this simple story? Spreading the path from ignorance to enlightenment over three films and six hours kinda blunts any kind of character arc, don'cha think? Not to mention the whole narrative-flowing-like-molasses effect. Maybe I'm a plebe, but I think The Twilight Samurai told a similar story in a fashion more becoming to my own tastes. If you're going to stretch your story out like this, maybe you should just write a book instead.
Grade: C+
