An alright 7th entry that's hard to get angry at or excited about

A serviceable entry into the franchise- not bad at all, but not much more than decent.

The involvement of Tora's mother is interesting, but surprisingly little is done with it, in the end.

The formula of these movies both frustrates and satisfies, seemingly depending on what mood I'm in. It's nice knowing what to expect and be able to watch something in a relaxed mood, but sometimes I do want some more variation.

We'll see whether that attitude continues to change as the series goes on.

Japanese cinema is celebrated for its refined minimalist dramas and avant-garde experimentation; it also introduced popular genres like jidaigeki (samurai epics), kaiju, and anime. Across both high art and mass entertainment, it often explores morality, impermanence, and the pressures of modern life.
