A great dramatic event that has captured the hearts of many
In overall I really liked this movie.The japanese actors are excelent,they ooze this sexuality,strenght,honour and what they believe in is very strong.However,I could not stop thinking about Tom Cruise playing himself...he is always trying so hard to convince the audience,but I can never forget that he is there.But I do like Tom Cruise a lot.Someone suggested that Russel Crowe would be better suited for this role,but evetyone has a different opinion which is great.
Great movie, especially how well they intepreted the Japaness smurai spirit. If you are someone who is willing to learn other culture with respect and open-minded, you should will see the value of the movie. However,the acting of Tom is not as great as it should be.
A wonderful rendition of the Japanese culture! Made me wanna go and be a samurai! (Wait... I`ve always wanted to be a samurai...)
Was so touched with Ken Watanabe. Like the Japanese beautiful scenes in the movies.
It had a terrific plot with great actors. I felt terribly sorry for the great warriors at the battle scene. They all died under gun shots NOT SWORDS.(This is totally UNFAIR)
one of the best movie of all times ! Great Great Great ! Paolo
Well thats how the real warriors live! beautiful!!! Perfect story about the great warriors!
Great! Powerfull battle scenes! phylosophic dialogues and bushido atmospheric.
Best movie since Beautiful Mind.
Seen it 5 times! I was and continue to be enthralled by this film. I especially loved the cinematography and the fighting scenes, not to mention Cruise`s metamorphosis. You will not be disappointed! See this film while it`s still on the big screen!
Best movie EVER. Just see it for yourself. I swear to you, you`ll love it. The honour thing will really hit you.
This is the way it should be done! Period.
Tom Cruise once again proves he is one the most talented and versatile actors in movies.This film is flawless and has to be considered the greatest samurai movie ever. Beautiful to look at and emotionally gripping.
Just amazing!!!!!! The story was great
hope Ken Watanabe wins the SupportActor: he`s a key symbol of being a samurai!
best.samurai movie.ever!!!!!!
the greatest movie I`ve ever seen
best movie of the year
Very powerful and emotionally charged.I was very affected.Tom was absolutely terrific ! I really felt for the way of the Samurai and their devotion to their emporor... committed,unyielding. A wonderful escape from beginning to end.Loved it!
I thought it was excellent. Ken Watanabee is my new favourite hero ! That man has such a regal bearing about him. Tom was good too and symbolized what we are now missing in most of our lives....INTEGRITY ! Gone are the days when a persons word was all that was necessary and that is a very sad thing. This movie reminds us of what life was like before the " ME " society took over.
AWESOME!
GOOD MOVIE
I`ve never seen a movie with such intense emotion and that delivers such a powerful message. It really got to me and made me think. I thought it was an extrordinary movie and one of the greatest of the year.
Excellent movie, great cinematography, a real workout for Tom
This movie really touched me. I saw it with my entire family and I couldn`t have been happier. Cruise is definately at his best in this film. However, being a history I noticed that there were a few historical inacuracies in the movie which detracted from my enjoyment of it.
best movie ever
I thought `The Last Samurai` was a fantastic film, for once a film in the 21st century not to heavily rely on special effects.
Has to be my new number one movie!!!!!
Touching...
The Last Samurai was an awesome movie i went to it 4 times...mainly bcuz i was bored but it was still a great movie!!
Awsome, the best movie I`ve seen in a while
It is rear to find as masterpiece such as this. Perfect! Five stars. I would not change ANYTHING.
I just saw the movie today, I thought it was amazing! The best movie I`ve seen lately and one of the best I`ve seen all time. I like the fact that it was about a history and time that has not been overexposed like WWI and WWII. Lot of substance to the movie and a few twists and surprisingly not `hollywood over done`. It makes you wanna learn more about the history. I give it 9.5/10, way better than the overated LOTR stuff. __________________
I thought the movie was magnificent. Tom Cruise will be nominated for an Acadamey Award. Go see it.
A great movie. Truly inspirational in its depiction of honor and what we are capable of as individuals. This movie rivals all those of the same category, which are not fictional like lord of the rings and matrix, also great movies!
Breath-taking, Extraordinary, Spectacular! This movie contained culture, history, and action packed. Presented alot of imagery and symbolism. Totally loved this movie...I cried and got very emotional.
Wonderfully done. Didn`t mind so much Cruise in it. An excellent look at old Japan (almost mystical) with its unique culture.
waist of money
An amazing film...quite long but the time was well used. A masterpiece..go and see it today!!!!
best movie ever
I didn`t realize how long this movie was until I got out, it was that good !
A wonderful masterpiece. Some of the best fighting scenes I`ve ever seen. The ending could have been better but it was still the best movie I`ve seen in the last 3-4 years.
perfect
This movie was spectacular! The actors did more then act their roles, they became their roles. The cinematography was absolutely beautiful as well as the renderings of the ancient Japanese culture. It was very moving. Personally I liked it better than LoTR because the violence complemented the story rather than take it over.
this was an awsome movie, the battle`s were breath taking and the use of japanese caluture was very well done. Though they didnt translate kuso at one part of it but thats okay i know what it means. Its a must see.!
Tom Cruise is a movie star. He is not an actor. There is a huge difference, and his wooden performance in this action flick is proof that he is long past his "best before date". Squirm-inducing....
A big screen epic. Beautiful cinematography. If you buy the DVD you will probably want to watch it again and again. Great movie, but I wonder if it may appeal a little more to guys, although I suppose the women who are put off by the gladiator type battles may be distracted by Tom`s beauty. It`s an inspirational type movie about honor.
unbelievable amazing...
