- Reviewed in Canada on February 22, 2015This movie’s interest lies essentially in its depiction of late 19th century Japan. Obvious efforts were placed in recreating the era, notably in terms of costumes and settings. Although some computer images appear somewhat basic today, the rendering of a poor, quasi medieval Tokyo and of a superb countryside are noteworthy, yet it is difficult of course for a foreigner to judge their accuracy.
The movie’s plot is well structured but artificially romanticised and the battle scenes well rendered but excessively lengthy. Clichés are not pervasive but appear at times as evident as in « The King and I ». As usual, Tom Cruise is not very expressive though, to his credit, he does render more than a few lines in Japanese.
Overall, this movie succeeds in providing a decent level of both entertainment and insight and as such may be recommended.Report PermalinkHelpful
