47 Ronin

" It seemed pointless with no story. Yes, beautiful costumes and scenery, but the story was slow moving and didn't to seem to go anywhere."

Let me start by saying that these Japanese folklore fantasy tales do not do it for me. That being said, Keanu does his best to honor the spirit of this world, but he does not save this bore of a movie. I would’ve preferred a straight-forward historical account, as it is technically based on a true story. I just didn’t get it. It seemed pointless with no story. Yes, beautiful costumes and scenery, but the story was slow moving and didn’t to seem to go anywhere.

2.5 Stars for me.
