The Last Samurai

[SAint Mark]

Saw this not too long ago. Anyone else seen it? What did you think?

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!! It was soooooo great!

 

[gibbo]

Yeah it was great. it really looked into the things most people have forgoten about. Honer, loyalty stuff like that. tom did a really good job in that one.

I wanted to be a Samurai after I left the movie.

I saw it. I liked it a lot... of course, the ending (which I won't go in to since some people may not have seen it yet) was a lil' cliche, but overall it was really good.

I really enjoyed this movie. although at times it made me think of other movies that tom cruse had been in. ...i dont know why... but it was a good movie, i enjoyed it quite a bit.

The movie was good. I like Tom Cruise. There were moments but overall I could not get past Cruise in the role. Maybe Cruise is too contemporary or sophisticated to me? It was a little over the top. I didn't think He and the actor playing the last samurai belonged at the Golden Globes or Oscars. The cinematography was beautiful though.

I really liked this movie too. Actually, excluding Return of the King it is the best movie I've seen in a long time (hmm... actually this might even beat RotK)! I'm a bit of a samurai fan to begin with and also fond of Japan, so I really enjoyd it. Especially liked the way Japanese people actually spoke Japanese and Tom Cruise had to learn it. Definately my favourite Tom Cruise film (time to move on from Top Gun ha hah).

I liked The Last Samurai a lot. I was incredibly surprised at how well Cruise played the role, and I did cry at the end. I'm not sure how the ending was cliche... the only movie I can relate it to would be Braveheart.

i enjoyed it.

enjoyed it so much i saw it twice.

but the second time wasn't nearly as good as the first. above all, i enjoyed the samuri aspect to it -- how they got up each day and did each task to perfection. the fight sequence might have been a bit cliche, granted, but the ending of the scene itself was amazing, poignant.

The history of the movie was a little shakey, but if u'r willing to suspend disbelief, its pretty good.

 

[Pastor_Benjamin]

good movie

 

[Rorschach]

I enjoyed this movie a lot! The samurai kick major butt! I thought it had a good story and I thought it was interesting how the Emperor of Japan wanted to make the country more "western" while there was a remanent (the samurai) who remembered what their country was built on. Makes for good entertainment

kick major butt movie. one of my favorites.

This movie is one of the best I've ever seen. Tom Criuse did a fantastic job acting, probably one of the best jobs from him I've seen. The music was great, and overall it is definatly a movie to see. No language or sexual content, just alot of violence. A+

 

[Morwen]

Awesome movie...saw it 3 times? *thinks* Anyway, I really liked it.

 

[Constantine]

I thought the story-line was pretty good, like, history vs. the present. Sad movie, but still amazing acting and plot.
That final battle was very well done also.

 

[HeatherJay]

My hubby and I both really enjoyed it. I thought the 'love story' was beautifully done, even though it was never really overt or over the top. And Tom Cruise's relationship with the little boy...*sniff sniff* THAT was the stuff that made me cry. Hubby loved the fight scenes, of course. Anyway, very enjoyable movie.

 

[MrHowdeedoo]

It was ok. The acting wasn't that great, and the fighting was fighting without any point. But the fighting in itself was cool!

 

[MadeInOz]

I thought it was way overhyped... and tom cruise as a samurai... it just didn't do it for me

bleh... not my kind of movie at all
