Twas a good movie. Quite what I expected. Nothing over the top. Great character development. The movie kinda reminds me of "Dances With Wolves"....where a white American ends up seeing the otherside of his enemies and befriending them.
I recommend it. I could go on and spoil it for ya....but I\'d get banned. :p I will say this....it\'s a long movie.
-
I haven\'t seen it yet but I also know it\'ll be a great flick. not many like him but I think Cruise is a great actor with a type of charisma all his own. Glad you gave it a good review.
-
Mum wants to see it.
Most likely Ill drive her there, then go get ripped and have her tell me about it.
:D
-
It\'s actually a fairly good movie.
*waits for MM to chime in *
-
"The movie sucked. It didn\'t star Mifune and they handled the swords all wrong."
:D
-
actually, i liked it
even if i didnt, free > bad movie
-
You liked it simply because it had "samurai" in it.. ;)
I\'ll see it when it\'s released here. :)
waits to see "The last NUNCHUCKA" starring some dood that can\'t use em for S@#T. woot.
-
It was actually excellent and the swords, believe it or not, were handled properly. Very surprising indeed that Tom Cruise is acceptable as some sort of Samurai amazingly enough.
-
tom cruise is a great actor, always was
his lifestyle is a mockery tho
-
I know tell me about it the girl he\'s nating has the same last name pronounciation as it he does. How ****ed up is that?
-
I actually want to go see the Last Samurai. It looks really good and reading your reviews, I just have to see it.
-
They should call it......"Dances with Samurai" :)

I think I may be watching that movie in my S.S. class. Is it the movie that the white civil war guy trys to get him self killed and ends up being a hero. Then he goes out west and theres nobody else at the post where is his. His friend that brought him there gets killed by a group of indian hunters. He becomes friends with the Sioux indians, he meets a girl whos family was killed by the crow indians and the sioux took her in and she acts like a messanger. Then the indians see him playing with a wolf that has because him friend called white socks. Then they start calling him dances with wolves.

No wonder kid\'s are idiots now\'a\'days. They are forced to watch Kevin Costner movies.
-
At least it\'s not Waterworld or the Postman. Still though, I\'d happily settle for Field of Dreams or the Untouchables.
-
I hate Tom. He broke Nicoles heart.
Bastard.
-
Why do people hate Kevin Costner so much? Sure he\'s done some crap movies (like most other actors), but he\'s also done some very good ones:
Dances With Wolves
JFK
Thirteen Days
Open Range
The Untouchables
The Postman (j/k)

You\'ll hate me more coz I de-virginized her. :smokin: Then I kicked her out my bed coz she was eating crackers. :mad:
-
The Postman had to be the worst movie of all time.
Along with Water World. Eh.
-
not seen it, though adverts have made intested, good to see some positive reviews

Trust sammy to get all uppity about a bunch of men holding their weapons the wrong way ;).
-
It\'s all in the wrist movement ;)
-
Personally I liked Water World. " Holds breath and waits for the flames"
-
Just saw it... Very awesome... The emperor reminded me of Michael Jackson though... Fight scenes were marvelous, and I couldn\'t have been happier with the slightly cliche\', but satisfying ending.
-
Probably the best movie I\'ve ever seen in theater.
-
Swid, buddy, you\'re dumb.
The ending was the single worst part of the whole movie. It fell apart at the end. Every critical review has noted that.
:)

I agree but I don\'t fault the whole movie for it. I mean the whole movie was a down note then all of a sudden the end is supposed to be happy?
-
My problem is the ending was happy and it felt EXTREMELY forced. There was a couple things (that I won\'t spoil) that pointed towards an entirely different ending. It seemed as tho\' the writers / director / studio realized that they had a semi-depressing film on their hands and needed to throw in the happy holywood ending.
I\'d be extremely interested in an alternate ending on the DVD release.
-
I reread my quote, and yeah, scratch that, I wasn\'t too thrilled by the ending, but it was satisfying to say the least.
-
Went to go see Matrix Revolutions again with a friend but the movie ****ed up 30 minutes in. Manager said we could go to any movie of our choice so I picked Last Samurai.
I believe this might be my movie of the year...I loved it, even the ending. There is still room for competition though...LoTR and Cold Mountain are due out soon.
-
Saw it with Boz, and I have to agree with him. Absolutely a great movie.
