It was entertaining.

I did notice that the fight scenes looked exceptionally real in that sword swings were NOT all at the same time or in perfect sequence (ala Matrix style), but were actually realistically at different intervals, speeds, styles, and just wow! It looked so real! I've been reading the Berserk manga and see a lot of Gatsu's fighting style in Uma (Black Mamba) in that after someone makes an attack and misses, instead of leaping back and waiting for the next attack like ALL characters do in EVERY movie with a fight scene you have ever seen in your life, she'll go in for the kill like a true fighter would. Much more minor details in the fight scenes that just blew my mind.

Overall, the story wasn't all that, and IMO, some scenes really dragged and could of been shortened, but I felt good about spending my money on this flick and WILL see the second installment when it comes out!

As for the blood - very exaggerated (such as blood shooting up over 6' into the air on a decapitation) giving it an almost fake feel, but really this lighthearted side of the bloody aspect was a refreshing transformation from the seriousness of the movie and the violence (and yes, it was very violent).

The music? I loved the siren sounding music when Uma looked her arch-nemesis’s in the eyes. As for the rest of it, its was very appropriate, but not the kind of music I like. In fact, I couldn't wait for some scenes to end so I could stop hearing certain songs I despise (and there were a LOT of them in that movie). But most of the music for the fighting scenes was superb :D . EDIT: almost forgot, the sound effects (especially in the fight scenes - OMFG) were almost too much! They were that realistic, with gurgling, screaming, spashing, popping, etc... I really shouldnt say anymore. You can just see it for yourself.
