Last Samurai on CBC now...
- Thread starter nottyboi
- Start date
So sad, they all got machine gunned to death at the end. Valour is no match against a machine gun.
I thought this movie was actually pretty good EXCEPT Tom "crazy" Cruise. As with most of his movies, too much overacting on his part. But thats just me.
I thought Tom Cruise was ok but the real outstanding acting was Ken Watanabe who played Katsumoto. And Koyuki is just STUNNING!!! The first scene, the charge of the Samurai is just awesome. Very high quality film with incredible cinematography
Tom Cruise was totally miscast in the role....Not believable as a Grizzled Battle Hardened Veteran...
The movie kind of fell apart after the Ninjas attacked the village....
Ending was pretty lame....The Final Charge was overly dramatic and of course Tom Cruise is the only one to survive....
And it wasn't close to being historically accurate...

Tommy Boy with his delusions of grandeur...

Tommy Boy should stick with Cocktail.
When I saw the poster for this film I laughed so hard I nearly chocked on a popcorn.
The Last Samurai is like Kingdom of Heaven; two historical epic could-have-beens ruined by miscast central characters. In the latter, not even the ultra-sexy Eva Green (Casino Royale) could save that film.

He's Baaack.
To make a good historical epic you need an alpha male in the lead role. This is a film I'm looking forward to - check out the trailer.

Jesus! Looks good. Thanks for posting.
As for Cruise I have no problem with him at all. Apparently evrybody else does though.
Hey you can knock tommy all you want but he's got 100x more money than the lot o' ya put together, he's banging katie holmes, he owns a P-51 mustang, probably all our dream cars, and has a house that most of ours could fit into it's pool house....
yeah, keep knockin' him lol......

For those of you who like the Historical Samurai movies, check out John Woo's 'Red Cliff' a drama about one of the most famous battles of China's early history. A whole lot less special effects aka matrix affects, but some amazing cinematography .

Tom Cruise may be a flake with his Scientology BS, but he is one of the best actors out there.
Samurai was a great movie. Don't know about top 10, but a very good movie none the less. Great performances all round, including Ken Watanabe who played Katsumoto.
I'm glad there's Terb love for this movie despite Tommy. I think it rocks. That charge out of the mist and the subsequent battle scene was amazing.
I agree with Insidious Von this and Kingdom of Heaven could've been legendary with some tinkering here and there.
