The Guardian - Jordan Hoffman
If you are going to see one outlandish and occasionally nauseating bloodbath samurai pic this year, this is the one.

Village Voice - Simon Abrams
Come for the gory swordplay, stay for the half-serious melodrama.
75
Slant Magazine - Chuck Bowen
Takashi Miike's film is a work of robust genre craftsmanship that's informed with a sly sense of self-interrogation.
75
Philadelphia Daily News - Gary Thompson
The movie also runs 2 hours, 20 minutes, which is a lot of dead samurai. The violence is often numbing, and the translations — the movie is subtitled — are sometimes as deadly as the swordsmanship. On the other hand, Blade of the Immortal is flat-out gorgeous. Widescreen, lush, beautiful.

The Hollywood Reporter - Harry Windsor
Miike’s facility for the sharply sketched portrait, in between bouts of bladed mayhem, remains as shrewd as ever.
