The 'Zatoichi' Blu-ray disappoints with altered aesthetics unfaithful to Kitano's vision, suffering from over-processing and CGI flaws, upsetting enthusiasts.

Audio: 41

Disappointment in Disney's collection, plagued by subpar audio quality and questionable dub choices, stirs frustration despite attempts at an immersive soundscape.

Extra: 36

The Blu-ray edition of Zatoichi features in-depth special features including a 40-min documentary and interviews with key creators, all with English subtitles, mirroring the DVD's content.

Movie: 61

Zatoichi blends exhilarating swordplay and quirky elements with uneven focus, creating a visually stunning yet tonally disjointed samurai film.
