Movie Reviews of The Last Samurai [HD DVD]

Movie Review: Great addition to your Blu-Ray collection
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a must have for any fan of samurai period drama, and now with the advanced Blu-ray tecnology it's even better. As a fan of Japanese culture and history, this film holds up fairly well. Tom Cruise's is somewhat typical for him...a bit over the top, but bearable.

There was a nice transition from languages to illustrate his communication with the Japanese samurai. I still would have preferred Cruise learning the language and seeing it almost entirely subtitled, but that's not a viable approach for Hollywood. Nevertheless, the director did a good job of capturing the culture. Even though I tend to be a purist, it's possible to watch this film and be entertained, despite some inaccuracies.

This is more a review of the movie itself rather than the disk, sorry! It has some nice extra features and enhancements over the original DVD version.

Movie Review: Good Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I am not a Tom Cruise fan. In fact I think he is a bit of a nut. But...after saying that this is a good performance for him. While the plot is fairly predictable I think it is an interesting look into a historical time period. A transition from an ancient tradition in Japan into the modern age. I would recommend the film to anyone who loves history.

Movie Review: poor sound
Summary: 2 Stars

i have last samurai HD DVD and BLU-ray..the HD has a poor sound but the BLU-ray has a great sound...the picture quality is the same for Blu-ray and HD DVD and there`s no much diffrent from regular DVD

Movie Review: My bro loves it
Summary: 5 Stars

My brother thinks of this as one of the best movies ever. I thought it was pretty good, but I sent it to him for a what the heck gift, and it was worth it to make him happy.

Movie Review: Very Good Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Something you'll want to watch a few times. Story of a civil war hero, fighting his own demons,(Tom Cruise) recruited to train the Emperors Army. He is forced to confront those demons and...A lot of similarites to "THE KING AND I". I primarily enjoyed the evolution of the main character brought on by...Lots of action. Lots of personal interaction of a philisophical nature. A somewhat "deep" movie. Hope I didn't spoil it for you!
