Plot
"A band of samurai set out to avenge the death and dishonor of their master at the hands of a ruthless shogun".
My thoughts
When i first heard about this film last year I was really excieteeed to see it, I have read the story of the real 47 ronin and was really interested to see what a movie adaptation would be like. Boy when this movie was over the first words that pooped into my head was "Forgettable" this film was so disappointing. the movie was nt horrible but there was nothing that it did particularly well. The acting was passable overall (Keanu Reeves did okay for his standards) everyone else in the main cast was believable for the time period they where placed in. The trailer really makes you think this film is going to be really action packed but sitting through the movie the action was very sparse and it had a lot of lulls of just dialogue which for me really hurt the pacing of the film. The CG of the film was decent considering the budget but I felt it could have been better considering this was a huge budget film. The plot of the film I felt while obviously not completely accurate to the real life events was played out on the big screen in a very poor and slow developing manner. Overall this film to me was lacking a lot of action and I felt it was suffered from to many dry spots that made it feel very boring. Rotten Tomatoes gave this film a 11% saying "47 Ronin is a surprisingly dull fantasy adventure, one that leaves its talented international cast stranded within one dimensional roles". I agree completely the film was very dull and boring and I am utterly disappointed that this film that looked to have so much promise and could have been a spectacular finish to the year for movies was a dud.
Rating
Huge letdown dry,boring, film 6.0/10!!!!
