The Last Samurai Audience Reviews

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
the-roofer This movie never gets old! Probably the best movie I have ever seen and I'm so sad and boring all I do is watch movies!
ahmedkhan-22924 The Last Samurai is a good Edward Zwick movie starring Tom Cruise and Ken Watabane. Featuring some gorgeous Japanese landscapes and great action sequences this film is a fine recommendation for any history, drama or historical action films. Tom Cruise as the foreign officer is good and still commands the screen but it is Watabane who walks away as the scene stealer as the Emperor. The music deserves a mention and Hans Zimmer provides an amazing soundtrack which rivals most other epics such as Braveheart.
kbohna I almost feel guilty making a review of this movie but I feel that one should be made after all this time. I had always kind of been a fan of Tom Cruise like many others and when I found out his religious Scientology background it kind of threw me off as I'm sure many of you felt the same way. I just wanted to tell the majority that this movie is more than Tom Cruise it's fabulous it has something that everyone wishes to achieve maybe it's Harmony I'm not sure but it definitely conveys a great message. With all the different things that are going on in our world it's nice to kind of go back to the beginning of simpler things.
Arda Varan (vrnarda) I've watched this film several times and as always same taste...I want to be a samurai and Tom Cruise is so cool in this movie...
