no doubt that This is the best movie of the year so far. I wish we could have more movies like this, movies that deal with honor and values.

The acting was superb, not only for Tom but the Japanese guys too. It's worth the money for sure!

I completely agree! We do need more movies about honor, values, and history. Tom Cruise is getting amazing reviews for this film!

The movie only has a 69% fresh rating at rottentomatoes.com and a dismal 61% from the Cream of the Crop...it has already compiled over 30 rotten ratings.

Anyways, it is good not great...definitely overrated by fans but not reviewers as evident by rottentomatoe.com. Don't get me wrong the scenes were VERY nice but it is only halfway to a film like Braveheart. I can't wait for ROTK.

It IS worth the price of admission. All I will say is that it is a masterpiece in terms of costumes and overall beauty in terms of scenes but the story and script is FARRRRRRR from being a masterpiece. Like many others have said it is very similar to Dances with Wolves except that Dances has a much better script and acting IMO. If you like Gladiator you will like this movie since it is done by the same screenwriter. Like Gladiator you will be wowed by the beauty of the film but unlike Gladiator, The Last Samurai won't have as a lasting effect. Kind of a see it one time...it's great and move on but that is my opinion. Kind of like Gangs of New York last year. Best Picture of the year? No unless if politics help it win. 7/10 but DEFINITELY worth the price of admission.

Yeah, I agree that if you like Gladiator, you will like this movie, but for me, it is a movie that I would see more than once (and I rarely see a movie twice or more at the theater!) The costumes were outstanding.

Yea I just got back from seeing it at theater. Great movie! I love the scenery and the acting was superb. My favorite Tom Cruize movie by far. Definitley go see it before you go see LOTR: ROTK though cause once that movie comes out any movie similar to it just won't measure up at least for awhile in your head.

WEll I forgot about Interview With a Vampire . So I Guess I'd say it's a tie with that movie as Tom Cruise best movie.
