The Last Samurai
 
that movie has only come out here last week i think. so i've just gotten to go see it.

loved it so much! acting, score, everything was great. made Japan look really beautifull as well.

one of my favourite movies of all time. only thing i didn't like is that the made tom's character too 'super'.

superb though! what did you think of it?

I saw it. It was better than I expected.

Valorxii 01-24-2004 10:54 AM

spose you didn't expect to much. :p

Bowser_Koopa 01-24-2004 11:01 AM

i don't expect much either, i'm not gonna watch it! :lol: i don't like the idea of an Inglish guy being the last samurai, i think its a pretty stupid idea :sweatdro:

Valorxii 01-24-2004 11:08 AM

hes not. its like the last sheep. its a plural. :P

i didn't expect a whole lot but had hope. and i was blown away.

I hate Tom Cruise.

Does he die a vicious and horrible death in this movie?

Reznorite420 01-24-2004 03:30 PM

Speaking of Tom Cruise, don't you think he's old enough to retire already?

Kid Icarus 01-24-2004 03:43 PM

I really liked the movie. Doubt it was very factual, but it was well made.

damnhooligan 01-24-2004 04:42 PM

I thought Tom Cruise was oddly cast in this role. No matter what role he plays, he's always just... Tom Cruise.

Otherwise, I thought it was a wonderful film. It even had Billy Connolly, one of my favourite actors (despite his usually awful hair).

Voltron 01-24-2004 07:20 PM

It wasn't bad. I thought the Ninjas should have just killed everyone though. That would have been much better than a child, a woman, and a half drunk Tom Cruise beating an army of them.

Valorxii 01-24-2004 07:45 PM

Well it was nothing like that but.... :P

Gremlin 01-24-2004 07:51 PM

I've always hated all these "the last whatever" movies, but they actually managed to pull it off and from my point of view, it's Toms greatest performance ever and this years (it premiers next week here, I think, Saw it last year though, gotta love the internet :evilgrin:) best movie so far

I didn't like the ending either. I think the movie would have been cooler he Cruise went back to America and started killing people in the American West.

Then he'd be a terrorist though :P :lol:

I watched it and kind of fell asleep.

MW8979 01-25-2004 04:04 PM

Tom Cruise is trying too hard. He really, really, really, isn't fit for historical films whatsoever. As a matter of fact, he really isn't fit to play in contemporary films either anymore.

raphael_is_cool 01-25-2004 05:06 PM

He was really good in Minority Report, that scene in the hotel room, the performance he gives is just great and he's consistent throughout

I don't see why people like slagging him off, probably just coz he's popular. A lot of people hate other successful people

Valorxii 01-25-2004 08:35 PM

Yeah agreed. Trying to hard? what does that even mean? people just giving him slack for the sake of it.

and if you fall asleep sounds liek the only movie you could stay awake for it terminator. :roll:

HorseTechie 01-26-2004 11:11 AM

I thought it was good. Okay, not quite as good as Dances with Wolves or Braveheart, but it was good enough to make my husband get all teary eyed. No joke! That had to be the FIRST time I witnessed him getting all weepy over a movie!

I also like Tom Cruise, but I will agree that he wasn't acting his best. (Golden Globes also thought the same) Like he had focused too much on learning all the martial arts, he didn't have much left over for acting. No matter.. I still like the historical quality, the scenery and the soundtrack. :D

Mars-Chan 01-26-2004 11:32 AM

I am trying to decide whether or not to go see the movie.

Is it really worth seeing?

EZweasel 01-26-2004 12:15 PM

tom cruise is another one of my favorite actors. He ant no keanu reeves though. and also ive been wanting to see this movie. it looks awsum.

Savanti Romero 01-26-2004 09:09 PM

Shelltacular movie! I loved it and will be like the 10th movie I actually buy to add to my collection.

Yes! *nods*

I thought the samurai all done up in their armor was a beautiful thing to see. Way more impressive than the ones in TMNT3. :goofygri:

Mars-Chan 01-27-2004 10:52 PM

More impressive than TMNT 3?! :o I've seen the previews and it DOES look good.... :D
