It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Blistering performances.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Apparently this film was based on the 47 Ronin, but not being familiar with the tale means I can't really comment on how close it really is. Then again, I suspect that I have come across it in the past, and the story is pretty straight forward. Basically the lord of a group of knights is put to death, and the knights end up becoming leaderless. However, behind the scenes they are planning on extracting revenge against the corrupt minister who was behind the lord's death. I'm sure we can pretty much work out what happens then. Honestly, this film was rather boring. Well, boring, and in parts difficult to accept. It is set in an unnamed empire which is supposed to be racially tolerant. This really put me off, namely because there was a mix of all races here, something that sort of rubs me in the wrong direction when you are trying to create a medieval world. Sure, it might actually be a fantasy world, but still, it didn't really sit with me all that much, particularly since Western Europe really wasn't all that cosmopolitan back then. Okay, there were some good aspects to this film, such as the bad guy. In a way he came across very much like Macbeth, in that he was having nightmares and hallucinations over the fact that he arranged the death of this lord. Maybe it is also due to the fact that he knows that he is a crook, and really can't live with it. I also noticed how he went to great lengths to fortify his palace. However, in the end I was pretty glad that it came to an end. It just seemed to drag on for way too long, and while it did finally pick up the pace in the end, it was simply trying to be something that it wasn't.
Sorry but there happens almost nothing in this movie. In the beginning and at the end. Beetween is very low happening. Feel like wasting my time little bit. And morgan freeman does not fit in this part. It was ok for watching only one time. No film for warching more times.
First of all, this movie is a potpourri of accents, most of which makes for VERY awkward line deliveries and just stilted English.Next, the annoying mish-mash of cultures and ethnic identities, alongside the equally annoying meta-historical timeline, is not only forced, but embarrassingly hokey.Finally, the script is badly paced and the arcs never come, or if they did, they were sooo subtle that they flew over my head. I have read that it is originally a Japanese story; unfortunately, its transposition was just not handled craftily enough for a non-Japanese audience. Frankly, this isn't even fun kitsch.
I loved this movie, I was left floating in the mystery! The actors were excellent and compelling. The cinematography edgy beautiful and emotional. The direction was good enough. The editing was occasionally choppy, but all in all continuous of the edgy, beautiful and emotional. I wanted more when it ended. I felt like I was "in" the story, part of the ensemble. The women's roles were meatier than the men's, unusually so. The men's roles were notable, full of testosterone bravado and moral hi ground competition. The costumes were well put together and believable, while producing a borderline sci-fi look. Not unlike a comic book novel, this movie looks to be one that all ages can ride upon the storytelling. I was captured by the elegant elevated values spoken by the stars. I suspect it is good teaching for our young, a hidden education in a diverse cast, crew and production. I recommend it to everyone. Great for budding and young men, but really for all!
