Review of 47 Ronin (2013) by Patrick94 — 30 Mar 2014

I'm looking at all the reviews for this and I don't really understand what's going on. I appreciate what the director did with this movie, he gave us what would normally be a niche authentically Japanese samurai movie and made it slightly accessible to Western audiences, which I think is the problem.

People watched the trailer and thought "yay, cool fights with monsters and samurai and ****" etc. That is not what this movie is. This isn't a fast-paced Hollywood action film, this is an almost slow-paced movie about Feudal Japan and everything associated with it.

I liked it, I thought it was cool. And a breath of fresh air from all the actiony, CGI-fest crap that we're used to.
