Review of 47 Ronin (2013) by Menno — 30 Dec 2013
The movie lacks something, but nevertheless I enjoyed the two hours.
The characters in this film are so thin causing that you really don't feel anything for them and therefore the whole vengeance theme is not really working for me as well as the whole love interest plot.
The start of the movie is OK although the voice over beginning is boring, the end is also pretty impressive with some very good CGI.
The second act of this movie is the problem, a lot of things feel very rushed in the second act. And this is the part where you should start to feel attached to the characters and want them to succeed in their quest for their revenge.
I don't really say this very often as in most cases less is more this movie could have used and extra 15 to 30 minutes.
And why did they made this movie in 3D, I'm no fan of the whole 3D movies as they tend to try to make up a weak plot and characters with an extra dimension and this doesn't work. And it feels like this again in this film because it really didn't add anything in the movie experience.
But non the less it was enjoyable to watch which just pushed this movie into a 6.
