Granted, when I sat down in 2021 to watch the 1976 movie "Black Samurai" for the first time, then I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations for it. Why? Well, I am not overly keen on the whole blaxploitation genre.
But since I hadn't already seen "Black Samurai" and finding myself with the chance to do so, of course I managed to find the time to watch Al Adamson's 1976 movie.
And now having seen it, I can't say that I was overly impressed or entertained by what I saw. I suppose that the movie is adequate enough for this particular genre of movie. But I just wanted more entertainment from a movie other than watching Jim Kelly run around from scene to scene across the continent for some reason and fight a number of people, some of which even show up again after they have been killed.
Yeah, the whole concept of "Black Samurai" was just shallow and poorly written. There were no proper contents to the storyline here, as written by B. Readick and Marco Joachim. So I was finding myself getting bored with the monotonous and repetitive material that seemed to be this movie.
The acting in "Black Samurai", well I suppose that was pretty average for a movie of this type and caliber.
I am rating "Black Samurai" a less than mediocre, but generous, four out of ten stars. I have watched it now and can check it off of the watched movie list. But I can honestly say that I am not going to return to watch it a second time.
