Supernatural mixed with Samurai plus a shape-shifting witch and monsters...could have been entertaining but the turn-off for me was the miss-mash costumes, environment and location of what appears to be Japan but is not...which was a…

I enjoyed the movie, and actually glad the studio made them go back, and put the romance between Kai, and his masters daughter in the movie. It's a fanciful take on the Japanese tale of Ronin 47. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon did so well…

So many mixed reviews, I enjoyed the movie in spite of all the negativity I read. I thought it was quite original, love the sorcery aspect. Costumes and scenery were great. Try it it is not nearly as bad as described by some

The 47 Ronin in this case refers to the 47 times my thoughts roamed and wandered, master-less from paying attention. Went into this movie with high hopes of it being a cool fantasy take on the source material...it let me down what can I…

Entertaining enough, with a heaping helping of swords and sorcery, but a bit of a downer at the end.

Good action movie.

I enjoyed this movie for the pace, acting and special effects. The story itself was Hollywood homogenized to a large degree but the telling of the true story might be boring on-screen. The additional characters and added love story make it…

Well. That was rather dreadful. I suppose it speaks volumes when an otherwise demographically-accurate gent like myself can find myself treating this film as background noise as I try out new hobbies (for instances, I now know not to make…

I think it was a stroke of genius on Keanu's part to populate the film with actors who are as bad as acting as he is, you don't even notice his bad acting most of the time. And he doesn't say that much, that's a plus. The action and the…

Despite the spiritistic overtones, actually a really good movie. The end fight scenes had you wondering if they would win. At parts tragic and others heartfelt. A true blend of an asian and american film. I liked the "true" back story…

this movie was awful. If you know the story of the 47 ronin then you know there was no reason for Keanu's chracter to even be there. Oishi is the star of this story. I dont know if they thought keanu would help bring in money, or what. I…

not as bad as the criticts say it was it was decent. Its a shame that it didn't do better at the movie box office.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie, considering all the negative press. Keanu Reeves was definitely too old for his part and alot of the magical elements seemed out of place, but overall I enjoyed the action and the story.

Keanu Reeves character goes through a lot of mayhem just to be accepted by Japanese warriors with extremely unlikely bigotry towards him and to get the Japanese woman of his lust or dreams.This is also an extremely sleep inducing bore.

maybe knowing how poorly this was reviewed by critics lowered my expectations, but I enjoyed it.

I must say that I've watched both the original & this one. I enjoyed the classic (yes, all 3 1/2 hours of it), because it was truly historic in its own right. The methodical plotting and planning it took for the Ronin to exact their…

I often watch these films that have been trashed by the critics and find myself pleasantly surprised. Not the case this time. I just felt that the creative team couldn't decide whose story they were telling, and Keanu was obviously 20…

It seemed like the supernatural elements were tacked on and are completely unnecessary. I think a more traditional retelling would have been a much better movie. The cast was good, but I felt like the script was very dry and not as…

I thought the plot was fine but the special effects and fight scenes could have done better.
