Beat Takeshi's take on the Zatoichi storyline is very entertaining and continuously original...

Zatoichi is a mix-and-match crowd-pleaser that shouldn't add up, but delightfully does.
Miami Herald

This is a wonderfully odd movie, proof that an artist can leave his personal stamp on any film, no matter the genre.

Three-frame cuts of the action from multiple camera angles, hose-spurted blood and superimposed wounds do what they can in their primitive way to get you past the problem of improbability.

This non-traditional samurai movie isn't for kids.

The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi begins life as a straight-up samurai movie, evolves into a slapstick comedy and ends as a rousing, tap-dancing musical.

For those unfamiliar with such films, Zatoichi might be a little off-putting. But given a chance, the movie can be pretty entertaining.

Zatoichi is a bloody film that also manages to be beautiful and funny.
February 09, 2006
However improbably, Kitano pulls it off quite gloriously. Admittedly, this isn't one of his most idiosyncratic, innovative or, indeed, satisfying works, but it's without doubt fast, funny, fabulous to behold.
September 27, 2009
Violent and bloody, carefully choreographed and filled with dry humor, Takeshi Kitano's modern take on the classic Japanese character is a unique vision that's told with confidence.
Orlando Sentinel

This isn't arty violence, just violence, and pretty pedestrian for a samurai picture.
