I thought it was a pretty good movie.  I liked pretty much everything about it except for those interminable fight scenes.  They just went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

And all the fancy fight choreography started to look like fancy fight choreography for the sake of fancy fight choreography.  I kept praying for someone to come along and just cut somebody's head off.  It just seemed to me that any one of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai would have sliced that little girl into shoelaces before she finished her first set of elaborate leaps and kicks.
