1. terrible CGI.
2. No good fight scenes (I was waiting for the showdown against the main guy and Ichi, but it sucked ass, it wasnt even a fight.)
3. C'mon poeple, it was NOT as gory as everyone says it is.
4.**SPOILER** the main guy dies and that pussy Ichi lives....wtf is that??!!
5. Plot was too hard to follow.
6. The dubbed version is absolutly terrible! Their voices are dubbed with a british accent! WTF!

I agree on the substandard CGI, but having said that, and looking at your other comments, it seems many people come to Ichi expecting a flash and macho action movie.
It isn't - it's another bizarre concoction from the mind of Takashi Miike (based on the extreme Manga), and as anyone who follows his films will agree, heroics and straightforward logic are not necessary.
Ichi in the movie is pathetic, perverted and damaged - Kakihara is similarly off-the-rails, but more sadistic.
P.S. There are many cut versions of this film in circulation, which may be the problem here as the sickeningly realistic beating of the prostitute, hook-hanging and double nipple-slicing scenes could hardly be considered restrained.
