Zenjimoto 40 Posted December 7, 2003 I wanted to share my pleasant surprise at the quality of The Last Samurai movie. I expected it to be more cheesy, but it was really good (Sigh...) What do others think? This is funny, cause I JUST came home from the movie to see this post :-P Other than the fact that a bunch of rural Japanese speak flawless english, it was quite a good movie, although I think that Shogun probably portrays better what would really happen to a gaijin in feudal Japan of the olden days :-) Definitely worth a watch, though. I saw it at the end of a 3-movie marathon, and it was worth staying on for that one. ;-) Cheers Z. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manekineko 200 Posted December 7, 2003 Hm, now you've shaken my firm decision to skip this movie, bad sides (Cruise) in my mind overweighing the good (Watanabe). But now... hm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, don't skip it on Tom's behalf. I thought he did a good job with this. Initially it was a bit of a turnoff for me too, seeing the trailer, but I was pleasantly surprised by the prettyboy. He's come a ways since Top Gun :-) Cheers Z. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
