Smiling D @RT57046910 4d We know we can all count on Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves to save Japan with the power of a master Samurai. Marry the most beautiful girl in town and angers all whose underwear is too tight. Be man, beast, or witch, the Anglo from foreign lands will set things right. Plenty of nice hairstyles and cool swords. See more Karthik Y. @madkarthi May 23 It is visually very good. But story plot wise it is too predictable. We can easily predict everything what is gonna happen next. The only good thing is the production values are very nice. Seeing Keanu Reeves as a samurai in the film is full of fun. But too much fictional elements are there and that is getting my mood off completely. See more Pongo K @RT48921889 Apr 6 Too much for too little. Not very exiting, but some entertainment. See more Frans B @FransB Feb 7 Great story told and shown in a very striking way. Very well written and brought to screen. Good cinematography and visually stunning. Lots of action, mystery, intrigue, suspense, witchery, magic, fantasy, emotion and drama. Stellar cast all excel in character. Very memorable and entertaining See more Alex J @DrMohawk Jan 16 It is a good movie. It was when released & probably better now as just entertainment. People had the wrong perspective from the beginning. It wasn't presented as historically accurate but w fantasy elements, Keanu Reeves in the lead & in english, it was meant for wide release. The authenticity of costumes, dialogue & background is what moves the film. There must be more authentic 47 Ronin films but only serious fans have seen them, in Japanese w or w/o subtitles. Compare to what people know & have seen, Last Samurai had to deal w Tom Cruise, but was good when he wasn't the focus. Shogun 1 introduced people to the culture & the recent Shogun (on Hulu/AMC) is so powerful & authentic looking. The same great Japanese actors move all these films. It's a good place to start then see the Real 47 Ronin stories from Japanese filmmakers. Serious fans know all this. People hate Keanu or love him. But he uses his clout to make & move projects. See: Man of Tai Chi. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 18 47 Ronin starring Keanu Reeves is a visually striking film that attempts to blend samurai lore with Western storytelling but falls short of fully engaging the audience. The story of honor, revenge, and the legendary 47 ronin has potential, yet excessive dialogue and a long runtime slow the narrative. Keanu Reeves performs competently, but his role feels disconnected from the largely Japanese cast and culture. The film tries to tell two stories at once—Reeves’ character and the historical revenge plot—which creates confusion and uneven pacing. While creative sequences, like the spider scene, showcase imaginative visuals, they feel scattered and don’t provide narrative cohesion. The screenplay overuses exposition, reducing tension and emotional impact, and the action, though visually impressive, is too infrequent to sustain excitement. Direction and production design capture feudal Japan well, but the tone See more Read all reviews
