The Last Samurai: yeah, there's comparisons, but it's still a good movie

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2004
The Bottom Line: The martial arts fans will be pleased, and there's even a tidy little romance tucked away in there too.
Review: I've always been interested in Japanese culture, ever since a train trip in my teens, and the only thing I had to read was a copy of Shogun, by James Clavell. The more I studied the intricaties of it, the more interested I became. True, most of my...

Above all Comes Honor - Duty & Loyalty {\|\|\|[|========>>>>

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: Most people would enjoy The Last Samurai.
Review: Simon Graham: They say Japan was made by a sword. They say the old gods dipped a coral blade into the ocean, and when they pulled it out four perfect drops fell back into the sea, and those drops became the islands of Japan. I say, Japan was made...

A Tale Of Swords and Honor: The Last Samurai

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2003
The Bottom Line: I saw it in theatres on opening weekend...you should see it this weekend.
Review: For as long as I can remember, I've been interested in Ancient Japan and the ways of the Samurai. Well, from that point on when I heard that my uncle John Logan (Gladiator, Star Trek: Nemesis, The Time Machine) was working on a movie entitled The...

More Samurai Papers

Date of Review:  May 11, 2004
The Bottom Line: Watchable. Watanabe saves the film. Cruise is superfluous. Historical innacuracies are bothersome.
Review: I love Samurai. I am deeply fascinated by this ancient and beautiful system, and could watch samurai movies everyday. My friends find this odd. See, I am a pacifist, so it seems very strange that I should have such a fascination with a martial...

Ed Zwick's The Last Samurai: Warriors in Cruise Control

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2003
The Bottom Line: A slim recommendation for this handsome, yet empty Tom Cruise vehicle...
Review: Ed Zwick's The Last Samurai arrives in theatres with a professional serviceability that should never be confused with inspiration. The film is smart without ever being intelligent, pretty without ever being artistic and exciting without ever being...

The Last Samurai is a First in Battle

Date of Review:  Nov 23, 2003
The Bottom Line: "The Last Samurai" is an epic action movie and Tom Cruise proves he can play with Russell Crowe and the big boys.
Review: The opening scene of Edward Zwick's "The Last Samurai" shows us a very pathetic-looking character. He's drunk, of course, and is degraded to the point of playing a legendary war hero in a live advertising stunt to sell guns for his ungrateful boss...

Socko's Movie Review of The Last Samurai

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: One of the top movies of the year...you have to go see this one.
Review: OK, I'm not going to lie to you here. I was pretty disappointed with movie in general after watching Bad Boys II on Wednesday night. It was the kind of movie that makes you rethink whether you ever want to see another movie. I quickly ran out to the...

Tom Cruise with a dash of Gladiator, Dances with Wolves and Shogun

Date of Review:  Jan 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: It was an enjoyable movie, but the special features were very lacking.
Review: In a bid to get a "Best Oscar for Acting", Tom Cruise stars as Captain Nathan Algren in The Last Samurai. Algren is a Civil War veteran who has nothing to live for, but carves out a living by displaying the might of Winchester rifles to the ignorant...

I Think I'm Turning Japanese

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: This epic of nineteenth century Japan is lush and lovely, but suffers from a misplaced emphasis on Tom Cruise and some overly simplistic thinking.
Review: Madame Arcati, the medium who has been recommended as being especially gifted at dealing with deceased movie stars who have returned in spiritual form, came to Chateau Maine today to meet with Norman. She's a rather odd woman with an unusual accent,...
