    Default The Last Samurai - opinions?

    Its on Pay-per-view atm, and with my long weekend off coming up........is it worth the 3 quid viewing price?
    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    I think it's worth it. Some good battle scenes and a very good Ken Watanabe playing the rebel Daimyo.

    Just do not expect it to be really historically correct

    The fights are beautiful as is the acting. The last scenes are great but tremedously emotional

    I liked it, but not much historical ness in it. Good enough movie to rent.

    Great movie with really nice battle scenes and fantastic Samurai armor. Its sort of a remake though. Its dances with wolves in Japan.
