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.

spose you didn't expect to much. :p

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:

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?

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

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

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).

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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:

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

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

Is it really worth seeing?
