In spite of all its beautiful visual aspects and historical cues it had too much of this disjointedness. I found myself in almost constant notice and irritation of the "magic", which just didn't work for me.
As you mentioned, he goes away and..............well, it's even more confounding than that. As I recall we see him as a child, impossibly bound up in stocks and completely isolated under impossible conditions of hunger, danger and desperation. Even Chuck Norris would have died. Next we see him with the huge army, etc. There was lots more of the same ilk.
Too much work and suspension for me. I want some continuity.
I always love Asano's work but neither it nor any of the other charms of the film could overcome my ultimate disappointment in it.
I'll probably see it again because I like its kind. I hope I was grumpy and wrong first time around but I don't have high expectations like before.
