Reviews
Yagyu Secret Scrolls has received mixed to positive reviews from both classic film enthusiasts and newer audiences. On IMDb, the movie holds a rating of 6.3/10, reflecting a moderate appreciation from viewers who admire the film's historical setting and Toshirō Mifune's formidable performance. Critics often praise the film's authentic depiction of samurai ethos and the choreography of its sword-fighting scenes. However, some reviewers note that the pacing can feel slow by modern standards, and the plot may seem conventional compared to more contemporary or acclaimed samurai films. While not as celebrated as Mifune's collaborations with Akira Kurosawa, Yagyu Secret Scrolls is valued for its cultural and historical significance in Japanese cinema. It remains a noteworthy title for fans of classic samurai movies, though newcomers might find its style dated.
