“I will search for you through 1000 worlds and 10000 lifetimes!” – Kai
Number of Times Seen – 1 (20 Mar 2014)
Brief Synopsis – 47 Japanese warriors without a master seek vengeance on the Shogun who killed their master.
My Take on it – Some times there is a good reason when a studio doesn’t release a movie until 2 years after it was made.
This is one of them.
I found this movie to be horrendous!
I didn’t care for any of the characters good or evil because they don’t spoend any time trying to develop any of them.
The story itself seems interesting, but this was done in such a boring way that I was so tempted to turn it off so many time,s but hoped upon hope that there would be a reprieve at some point.
But, there was none.
Keanu Reeves at his worst (and that says a lot)
And what’s with the fantasy stuff in feudal Japan???? I mean WTF???
Stay far far away!
Bottom Line – Terribly boring movie. No character development what so ever. Silly way of adding in fantasy lore into this tale. Skip it!
Rating – Razzie Worthy

hahah yeah it sounds like this would have been a traumatic experience if you had spent the money on it at the theater 🙂 (Which is foolishly what I did.) This movie blew. Very boring and while I usually like Keanu Reeves I find him the worst he’s ever been. All the reasons people have to think he’s not a talented performer are on display in 47 Ronin

Good review. Should have been a lot crazy than it actually was, but it’s still some fun nonetheless.

Cool fact about the studios not releasing this movie for 2 years. The trailers had me believing but the terrible reviews kept me away. Good review.

yeah, it’s a problem when the majority of people hate a movie 🙂

Amen. Absolute rubbish, this one. The acting is unexceptional or bad and the fantasy elements are much too under explained.

under explained is an understatement Josh. 🙂
