[QUOTE="Kramodlog, post: 6237085, member: 55961"] It has nothing going for it. Where to beging? The action scenes are subpar, nothing exciting with them. Badly thought out and choreographed. I was half a sleep during the final battle. The FX were ok in some scenes (the tengus), but looked fake in others (the fox, eating sushi with chop stick hair). The story is thorn between Keanu's character who is just a supporting character and the leader of the ronin. Who do we follow and identify with? Keanu story just breaks any momentum the story of the ronins trying to avenge their master could build up. The acting is campy and full of lines we saw coming a mile away. Like the witch, in a quasi lesbian sedution scene, informing the princess that Japan is the next step in her master's plan... It doesn't help that the Japanese actors often sound like they are reciting their lines, probably because they do not know English. Some elements are not clear. Like what are the beliefs that got the tengus exiled? Keanu knows the true nature of the witch, but we are not informed of that. Where was the Shogun before he popped up at the end? The whole thing felt cheap and directionless. You will not believe it cost 225$ million dollars to make. [/QUOTE]
