“I see the rest of the reviewers and people love this movie. I do see some of the good points in the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor me problem is maybe the start. The start points more or less to the way the movie ends. I am not a fan of knowing the ending. It made the movie feel half an hour too long for me. It is a very long movie, But I have enjoyed other very long movies of these kinds before.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is definitely also bloody in those parts where the swords are drawn. Maybe more bloody and brutal than it really needed to be in some cases.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting and directing I found neither really good or bad. Just kind of average.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWould I recommend this movie? For most people no. For people that like black and white samurai revenge movies there is a good chance they will like parts or al of it. The story is fine enough and connected to the 47 samurai in an interesting way.”
