In her case, it's for the movie.

Keanu from Point Break is best Keanu.
Keanu being Keanu is the only Keanu. Woah. |

And no, this isn't Last Samurai. At least Keanu is part Asian.
Surely by being a vessel of higher-level thetans Tom Cruise is actually more Asian than any Asian? |

Uhh like, this just came out. Anyone see? Kind of a skewed reception on RT, critics hated it and viewers say it's pretty watchable. Probably worth a matinee when there's nothing else to do?

It should have been called Sucker Punch 2: No Stripper Clothes, or Girls. Not that the plot had anything to do with Sucker Punch, but it was an even deeper exercise in effects over substance. None of the actors were bad, there was just nothing there for them. If you're in the mood for a long CG demo reel without the aspirations of a Micheal Bay movie you're in luck. It would have been better for them to have dropped the 47 Ronin name or to have used the fucking story. |

Just saw it. Could've been good if they'd taken queues from Crouching Tiger, Hero, etc. As such, the movie felt contrived and artistically flat, though adequately whimsical.

That's not a skewed reception. There are very few movies that aren't fairly watchable to a 55-65% portion of the audience who leaves ratings on RT. Chances are, if you go to the theater and make the decision to watch 47 Ronin rather than (an actual good movie like) American Hustle or Wolf of Wall Street, you were probably in the market for exactly the kind of bland, mindless spectacle that 47 Ronin served up to you and thus aren't likely to leave too disappointed. |

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to point out that films about robots or ninjas fighting don't need hipster contrivances such as plot and characters.

Barring those things they do however need lots of action. By all accounts this film has none of the above. |

Barring those things they do however need lots of action. By all accounts this film has none of the above. Hence the contrivance I spoke of. There is a good amount of sporadic action, but it lacks gravitas. The ending also felt underproduced; "7 Samurai" had more action in that regard. If we're gonna compare to Pacific Rim, PR didnt pull a lot of punches really. GdT wants fanciful sci-fi, he gives it. This movie however felt like the producers went "meh, we dont need to make that much of a statement." When in fact they did. All they really had to do was a live-action 'anime' version of the story and it would've been well-received minimally in Japan, but they failed at that likely trying to appease Western audiences... who in turn notice the fact the movie feels way too half-n-half. Keanu? Didn't lose enough weight for the film and was made to look much too old. As much of a badass as he was, I didn't feel like he came across as a true Tengu assassin. Contrast him with someone like Rain from 'Ninja Assassin' and you see what I mean. Really though, there's no excuse for him not being in proper shape for the film. |

I enjoyed it pretty much the movie I expected it to be effects were good and it was pretty well done overall. |
