Review of Goemon

As someone who had enjoyed reading up on the Azuchi–Momoyama period a lot, I was eager to watch this film as soon as I saw that trailer to see how the writing would go in regards to the Hideyoshi conspiracy theory and Goemons death.

And they handled it very well.

Seeing the characters handled as they were in comparison to the real life counterparts was for the most part spot on and the little differences are excusable as they add to the character development

The acting is very good (Note: I do not speak Japanese but I am basing this off body language and voice tone)

The only thing I can imagine that would put people off is the below average special effects. But I can look past that when comparing it to the low budget this thing and the questionable amount that actually went into the effects.

If you are looking for something with a lot of action, I recommend it.

If you are wondering how they can take a real story and tell it with another approach, you may enjoy what they have come up with.

If you want to see how good a film can be on an extremely low budget, then I more then recommend this because I was blown away at such a sight.
