This is a disappointing film. Yes, we can believe that Ogami can take on 4 or 5 bad guys in one go, because he is the ultimate warrior, but to despatch dozens of oppenents all at once is just going too far, and not only that, the film ends without any conclusion to the story. The snow battle at the end of the film is very poor.
Stick to the first 3 films, and forget the last 2.

It's probably best to start by saying that I've read the whole of the Lone Wolf and Cub manga that these films are based on and they're undoubtedly one of, if not the best things I've ever read. With that in mind, it's hard for me to know what someone who's never read those will think, so I'm looking at this film primarily from the perspective of a fan of the manga.
Having seen this, I've now seen all six of the babycart films. If you're reading this, you've probably seen the others since this is the last one. In that case I'm sure you'll buy this film anyway to complete the set, but since this is the last film in the series, it's important to know one thing at least: the story does not reach a proper conclusion in the final film. This is a little easier to take if you've read the comics because you know how it ends anyway. In fact it would be pretty impossible to get the epic scope of the comics across in the film anyway, and I have a feeling that the makers of the film wanted people to go and read the comics after seeing these films.
It's also a little easier to take the lack of a real ending in the films because they're not so easy to take seriously. This applies much more so to White Heaven In Hell, which is probably the least good film in the series. To put it bluntly, it gets rather silly. Yes it was a bit odd when Ogami Itto pulled out revolvers in Babycart to Hades, and when the cannon mounted on his cart turned out to be a machine-gun, but you could just about let them get away with that. In this film things get a bit stranger than that, with supernatural warriors and at one point a completely random rocket launcher. The whole tone of the film is camper than the others and there are at least a few unintentional laughs. There's also a bit of a bizarre choice of score at a couple of points.
It's not a bad film exactly, it's well-crafted and I did very much enjoy watching it. If you're not expecting something with as high artistic merit as the other films it might even be more entertaining, though in a slightly different way. The thing to remember with these films is that they all take liberties with the source material and all of them are meant more as light entertainment in comparison, this applies especially to the last film.

Brilliant film continuing in the tradition of the other Loan Wolf titles. Buy it today and get all six you will not be dissapointed. Much of Kill Bill has similarities to the Loan Wolf series.
