KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Mankindfails This movie isn't so bad, it's just not good, it's slow, lame and dull. If you as so much as heard of the 47 Ronin story, you've already seen this movie. That's the general feeling of the movie. As if you or me had heard the story, liked it and decided to make a version with western knights but only based on the big lines of the well known story...With Western Knights but in a wannabe fantasy world that make no sense with no attempt to give it some depth of any kind. With Western knights mixed with a few non white people with foreign accents, including the Emperor...People in this movie don't even have haircuts fitting any notion of medieval period. That's how bad it is, how much the director didn't cared... You can imagine Clive Owen asking the director "what about my hairs" and the director answering "what about them ?"... Unbelievable...Rarely seen a movie that felt so empty. Be careful about positive reviews on that film. Maybe if its the 8th movie you've seen in your life you'll like it but if you have any expectations, don't waste your time.

sortmaster The low ratings confuse me a bit. I think it was a very enjoyable film, especially if you subscribe to the idea of a having a Code. The action scenes are serviceable, but not amazing. The story is the main draw here: If you enjoyed The Last Samurai, then I imagine you'll like this. The themes are similar.If you come to it expecting explosions and non-stop sword killings, then you are going to be disappointed, this is a slower paced affair. But I feel that the pace gives more weight to the action when it does take place.

docpamm I loved this movie, I was left floating in the mystery! The actors were excellent and compelling. The cinematography edgy beautiful and emotional. The direction was good enough. The editing was occasionally choppy, but all in all continuous of the edgy, beautiful and emotional. I wanted more when it ended. I felt like I was "in" the story, part of the ensemble. The women's roles were meatier than the men's, unusually so. The men's roles were notable, full of testosterone bravado and moral hi ground competition. The costumes were well put together and believable, while producing a borderline sci-fi look. Not unlike a comic book novel, this movie looks to be one that all ages can ride upon the storytelling. I was captured by the elegant elevated values spoken by the stars. I suspect it is good teaching for our young, a hidden education in a diverse cast, crew and production. I recommend it to everyone. Great for budding and young men, but really for all!

Russ Hog Last Knights is a special kind of bad movie. It has some decent cinematography. Pretty OK acting. The story is cliché but it's also a good kind of cliché - which is to say that there are a lot of elements to the story that are enjoyable to watch time and time again. Yet - at the same time - this film is just so awful. It's kind of one of those movie "limbo" films. The premise is that some knight has to kill his mentor because the mentor insults the emperor. So he feels he loses his honor. Turns into a drunk. Then he has a change of heart - gets his team of knights back together - and goes on a rampage to defeat his enemies and restore his honor. This sounds kinda awesome - except in this film - it's not!One of the weirdest parts of this movie is that it seems to take place in some European land - but there are Asians, Hispanics, blacks, and whites. (Of course the lead is a straight white male - so what really was the point of the diversity?) The casting is so freakishly wonky it's just hard to explain - there is no credibility to the story. None. Most freakish of all is the emperor is just some little Hispanic guy who basically has no presence whatsoever. In fact, none of the villains in this film have any presence. They whine. Talk. Pout. Drink. The heroes also have no presence. They whine. Talk. Pout. Drink. The combat scenes are terrible and the CGI sets are weak sauce. One especially troubling scene is when our hero goes and rescues a woman from a brothel - and the screen just fades to black instead of shows the epic rescue. Big time let down - that was a blown opportunity for an audience to bond with the main character. It is basically an epic film that is not epic. It is so far from epic - what is the polar opposite of epic? Short? Stupid? Boring? Dull? Lame? A total waste of time and space?In general - this film is a movie that is basically a remake of 47 Ronin - but it is just terrible. However, it is not un-watchable. So for that - three stars.
