DVD Reviews of Inuyasha, The Movie 3 - Swords of an Honorable Ruler
DVD Review: Inuyasha the movie 3: Better than Movie 2?
Summary: 4 Stars
Out of all 4 of the Inuyasha movies, this is the last one i've seen. I'd been told that this movie was the best of the bunch. After purchsing it I was not dissapointed at all. As far as the four movies go, this is one of the best, although my preference still puts Movie 2: Castle behind the looking glass out on top. But this movie has top-notch animation, a pure evil brilliantly played villain and it always keeps you on the edge of your seat.
I have always been a large fan of Inuyasha. Its one of my favourite anime's of all time. But i myself was disappointed with movie 1. This movie is top notch compared to it though. The first thing to mention is that Sesshomaru, one of the greatest Inuyasha characters finally takes a large role in the movie, unlike taking bit parts in the previous two. This is because the movie revolves around the 3 swords of the fang that Inuyasha's father created, and the battle for Inuyasha and Sesshomaru to destroy the Sounga, the Sword of Hell and the 3rd sword of their fathers. This also leads to a lot of detail of the back-story of Inuyasha'a birth and the love of his parents, a plot that i have been wanting to see for a very long time.
The film is also presented in a graphically beautiful and impressive style. Whether its the villains hideout or the passgeway to hells grim, foreboding look, or the quaint peacefull look of the modern era, the lighting and deep coloured visuals helped portray the correct settings and moods during the movie. The action itself never lets up, it feels brilliantly paced through one fight scene, to another and the plot interwoven nicely in between.
However, every silver lining has a cloud, and not all is perfect, but most is. The music is mainly well created and orchestrated, however vocal tracks like the ending songs are subpar compared to other Inuyasha songs. The voice acting for the dub is also of high quality for the key chacters, however if you get down to some of the secondary roles, such as the spirit of Sounga's sheath and Kagomes schoolfriends, the voices can make you want scratch your ears off.
Also if you're a fan of other character plots, such as Sango and Miroku, there is nothing here for you. This movie (and its not a problem) focuses on the dog demons and how they must work together to overcome the Sounga. But this movie does give Miroku, Sango and Shippo backseat roles primarily used in lengthening the fight scenes, although Miroku does have a touching moment of near sacrifice for Sango's sake.
If I had to choose a favourite between movies 2 and 3, i'd still go with movie 2, but this one is close to perfect that if you are an Inuyasha fan who does not own this, you are missing out on a classic pice of Japanimation. Rectify this immediately people! This movie, overall is too good to miss
Description of Inuyasha, The Movie 3 - Swords of an Honorable Ruler
Many years ago, the Great Dog Demon wielded the Three Swords of the Fang. Upon his death, he bequeathed a sword to each of his sons, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, leaving the third sword, the wrath-filled Sounga, locked away forever. Now that the Sounga?s power has been awakened, these two battling brothers must put away their sibling rivalry and face off against a force that spells doom for all mankind!Swords of an Honorable Ruler is darker and more dramatic than the two previous Inu-Yasha features--or the broadcast series. Inu-Yasha's father Inu no Taisho, the Great Dog Demon, possessed not two but three swords: Tetsusaiga, Tenseiga, and Sounga, which are linked to Earth, Heaven, and Hell, respectively. After the human princess Izayoi gave birth to Inu-Yasha, she was killed by Takemaru, a samurai who loved her from afar. Inu no Taisho died soon after; the sword smith Totosai and Myoga the flea hid the first two swords, according their master's instructions, and sealed away Sounga. Seven centuries later, Sounga has become one of the treasures of the Higurashi family shrine. During what should be an ordinary ritual, Sounga is freed and returns to the past through the Bone Eater's Well. The bloodthirsty spirit of the sword raises the soul of Takemaru and begins a campaign of hideous destruction. Can Inu-Yasha, Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, Sango, and Sesshomaru defeat the sword-ghoul--individually or collectively?
In addition to being more violent than other Inu-Yasha films, Swords of an Honorable Ruler is more lavish, with lots of CG special effects and a score by Kaoru Wada that evokes The Rite of Spring. Director Toshiya Shinohara keeps things movie so briskly, the viewer doesn't have time to miss Naraku, Kikyo, or the Shikon Jewel, although the final battle goes on far too long. The drama and passion of Swords of an Honorable Ruler will delight Inu-Yasha fans. (Rated PG-13: violence, grotesque imagery, minor risqué humor) --Charles Solomon
