When I'd originally seen the preview/ ads for it, I hadn't totally grasped the idea that the movie was not about Tom Cruise playing a Japanese role, which turned me off the movie. But once I watched it I realised what was goin on and was loving every moment!
oi same.. when i watched the previews i thought it was some boring movie all about patroism n bullshit like that... but fuck it was good

The movie had Ninjas in it! How could it not be good?

On a more serious note, I thought the movie was quite good despite having quite high expectations of it from what my friends had told me. It was interesting, engaging and didn't feel nearly as long as it was. Although it did suffer from a little excessive melodrama towards the end, it pulled most of it off quite nicely.

I'm not sure why so many people had problems with Tom Cruise. I've seen better performances but his was certainly not bad at all.

And I hated Underworld, it was a terrible movie whether you watched it before or after The Last Samurai.

it was a good attempt but still too hollywood, and needed a whoooooooooooooooole heap of suspension of that disbelief. ahah yeh, the main samurai dude speaks english. ok! :uhoh:

tom cruise was the last samurai and gets with some japanese widow who like, totally forgives him. (p.s. not sure how that fits in with the whole cliche japanese society thing about honour and blah blah blah, but how rad is it that tom cruise gets with the chick!)
etc
