Viet L @RT99270015 17h Where it lacks in story, it makes up in swordplay. If you are a fan of the live action Rurouni Kenshin series, you will feel right at home. Don't go into this thinking "Shogun/Last Samurai"....rather think of it more as a cross between Rurouni and Kingdom. Similar vibes and feels authentic.

Just look at what they compare it to. Anyone comparing this to Shogun or The Last Samurai is either getting paid to, or just plain did not watch it. That is like comparing "Cowboys and Aliens" to "Dances With Wolves" because they both have Native Americans. So far, Song of the Samurai is not even trying to be anything like the other two. So why make the comparison? Unless you are trying to sell something, of course. All that being said, the pilot episode was fun with cool action and visuals. It just doesn't have a very strong story. It is entirely subtitled, but not in a way I enjoyed. My biggest problem with it is, thanks to a couple "critics" and some shady websites, I was going into it expecting an HBO version of Shogun. It is definitely NOT. See more Read all reviews
