Could have been good BUT.....

Warning: Spoilers
When watching this movie you have to forget about any TIES to the Anime Series Or Manga. If you do not then you will suffer a great deal of hurt as I did in finding any redeeming quality's wot so ever!Im a huge fan of the Anime series and 40+ minute Manga so naturally was expecting some acknowledgement to there material, was i in for a shock! All I can say is that the director could not have been a fan. A lot of scenes did make it from the Manga and also a few from the Anime series, It's just that they were so POORLY executed or changed that they did not work! The CGI is Also Shocking, This film manages to revert to petty crime & Downright ROBBERY, Check out the Winged Vampire Pursuing Truck On The Mountain Road scene...Underworld Evolution anyone? LOL. I mean Considering the fights scenes are done by Corey Yuen, even these are boring and uninspireing. There is only One fight scene that deserves to be watched in this film and thats when Master/Watcher Of Saya is in mortal combat with a Ninja Clan (HEAVY!). Which is why i gave this Movie 4/10 Rather than 3/10.
