Reviews

davidvpcol 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.

ahmedkhan-22924 The Last Samurai is a good Edward Zwick movie starring Tom Cruise and Ken Watabane. Featuring some gorgeous Japanese landscapes and great action sequences this film is a fine recommendation for any history, drama or historical action films. Tom Cruise as the foreign officer is good and still commands the screen but it is Watabane who walks away as the scene stealer as the Emperor. The music deserves a mention and Hans Zimmer provides an amazing soundtrack which rivals most other epics such as Braveheart.

Ashur Lazar (ruhsa) Such an amazing film!Tom Cruise is definitely one of my favorite actors (if not my favorite) and this film is one of his best (if not the best film). This has to be one of my all-time favorite movies. Definitely worth watching, you won't regret it!I watched this without knowing what to expect and trust me the movie won me from the first moment, as the movie goes on it's just getting better and better, Tom Cruise at his very best!In my opinion this deserves to be on the Top 250 list, This film is honestly one of the best dramas/war dramas I have ever seen, combined with a superb story, and action of amazing creativity in the dialogue, setting and all the scenes! Truly Oscar worthy, a shame it didn't win any, the makers of the film really deserved more credit.My Rating Is 9/10 .

haventmadeupmymindyet I've been a fan of Tom Cruise basically since forever, so in my humble opinion I'd say this is probably his best movie. Great performances by both Cruise and Watanabe.
