A waste of 90 minutes of my life

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Edward Zwick's The Last Samurai is, without a doubt, one of the best films I've ever watched. The battle scenes are gorgeous and so realistic , with a refreshing lack of CGI. However, the story and the evolving friendship of Tom Cruise's and Ken Watanabe's characters are the aspects that make you love the movie and feel atached to it. Such and emotional and fun ride can't just be found nowadays. Masterpiece!

Tom cruise surely at top notch performance this time . Excellent cinematography, background score ,editing , screenplay ,direction.must watch this near masterpiece..

The passion, the reality that we see in the characters, the plot, the music, the performance, everything is just perfect. Impossible to dislike this movie. Tom Cruise at his best. You really gets into the characters and the plot, you feel part of the cause, you can even feel the honor of the samurais. This is not a movie, this is real art.

This is not a typical type of Tom Cruise's movies, this film totally based on early 1800 s culture of japan . i was totally surprised how they designed so carefully that environment father based family is a significant thing , and other things Ken Watanabe act side by side like in a real war , it makes more attractive and realistic feelings ,this has great message for everyone who forget there past and embrace future
