Review of 47 Ronin (2013) by Ian P — 26 Apr 2015

This fantasy and epic movie depicts a fictional account and loose basis about the 47 Rounin, a real-life group of masterless samurai in 18th-century Japan who avenged the death of their lord, in the style of Ch?shingura.

This is a kind of movie that would intrigue you about Japanese history and culture as it somewhat motivates watchers like me to be more curious about Japan's history and beliefs about self-respect and honor which was shown in this film.

The action, adventure and effects were admirable and thrilling in sequence but the story was lacking in excitement and few originalities. Though, it has an ensemble cast with Keannu Reeves on the lead, it did not help the movie from having a higher grade for its story is slow paced and long character establishment plus it has a long range run of the film that you would find it too long to be stretch out.
