dude ! that peter petigrew last line!

All we know is, he's called The Stig

James71 Such a great line.

he found peace on pussy

fully agree

me too

That's basically Samuel L Jackson in that new Tarzan film

Thank you for saying that far more eloquently than I would have.

get stuckmanized

And it gets me every ffing time.

What a line that was 👏👏👏

;'-( !

ComBersation

I cry my eyes out every time

Kraven hmmm. Do you speak Japanese? Then shut up! お前日本語わからないでしょう？うるさいこのやろ！

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Well it at least has a 7.7 on iMDB. I don't really like RT ratings cause it doesn't say much about a movie, it only says if you like it or not. A movie can be decent at best but have a good score on RT.

kingkusnacht Yes I agree. It matters if you like it or not.

Maybe you need to realize now that RT is shit website.

Rotten Tomatoes says that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a good movie. Its ratings are worthless

thats a goddamned travesty, smfh that infuriates me

I've rarely agreed with a review more

ikr

didn't Ken get an Oscar for his performance

NEETisLEET No but he was at least nominated

and hans zimmer for the soundtrack

For real? Shit, someone didnt planned the release schedule like they should.

lol I only remember that we went to cinema for The Last Samuari, but again we didn't care much for Lotr.

I think Pirates of The Caribbean came out as well.

also that year: Finding Nemo Oldboy Kill Bill Memories of Murder Pirates of the Caribbean Big Fish House of Sand and Fog etc.

Lord of the Ring I fell asleep at the theater. I saw The Last Samurai at my buddy's house and we watch the whole 3 hours being drunk from 12am-3am.

Its amazing !

Right!

No...your definitely not! (My nick lol)

😂finally im not the only one

Of course not!!

Joshua Chia very well put!

well said people often think Tom Cruise is the last samurai lol

This is also, why I argue against a "White Savior Story". Algren saves almost nothing. He frees Katsumoto ones, but that's not enough in my opinion. He's a character and has to do at least something, but he is empowered by others and mainly audience.

Such a solid comment.

At the end of the film, he's simply referred to as "The American", not "The Last Samurai".

Glory is perfect. Go watch it right now.

Glory is one of the best war pics ever. Seriously. Take two hours of your life and watch this film. Cary Elwes, Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, and Denzel Washington are soooooo good in this. (Denzel's first Oscar came from this one.)

Blood Diamond is incredible.

+Movie Muscle Glory was amazing, especially James Horner's original score. Normally, in war movies, I just want the music shut up, but I've never seen such an inspiring use of music in battle scenes as there was in Glory. Give 'em hell, 54th!

Glory is a good movie, but Matthew Broderick is terribly miscast.

The ending when the Emperor's troops mow down the Samurai with the machine gun, but still show respect to Katsumoto as he lays dying on the battlefield was so moving, and then when Algren presents Katsumoto's sword to the Emperor.

He’s actually a great actor. But in real life not so much 😒

They are all perfect! :'(

It's from Tom Cruises characters point of view. while he's a prisoner of the samurai he learns Japanese along the way.

+Lord Vegas Yes, watching that scene still gets to me. I love how the epic music that accompanied the samurai's brave last stand just stops abruptly as soon as the gatlings start firing, as if to say "No more glorious death on the battlefield for you. From here on, war is industrialized slaughter."

Lord Vegas Same here

Lord Vegas dude I fucking yelled out loud when I was watching this in my history class. No joke I love my teacher for showing us this film

Same bro

Agree there is some many epic and iconoc scenes in this movie. A lot of memorable quotes too. Super underrated movie pretty much perfect as far as film making goes

Cheers, Mr. Dragon Ball!

Cruise’s 2nd best only being Born on the Fourth of July.

Dissolution of samurai caste was for the best. I mean without westernization and Meiji restoration, Japan may not be the industrial powerhouse it is now.

+Lord Muhehe wow ur so cultured and worldly and definitely didn't learn that single fact from your freshman history class

Tommy Salami Considering our high school history classes were focused on western history, then no I didn't, Mr. Really Fresh Meme

Then ;) nice try sweaty

Tommy Salami Thanks, also, subtle name change.

The early 2000s Tom Cruise was just Incredible in my opinion... Vanilla Sky, Minority Report,The Last Samurai,Collateral.. Even Magnolia in 1998 with jerry Mcguire Preceding in 1996... Such a great filmography in that Decade of 1995-2005

same bro I watched it after listening to "a way of life"

I was wondering why the music was so amazing, and then I read your comment.

yas

YES it's my favorite movie

pleaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeeee

Brendon that's what I've been saying for every reveiw he does 😂

Read his book. He reviews it there.

best anime since Cory in the house

+Terra Emotus Yeah boi

Let's Fighting Love

nah mate... Seinfeld is THE SHIT

Terra Emotus Cory i. the House is shit Kamen Rider Gaim is way better

In this movie Sanada says so little but conveys so much ❤

Yes, please. I can think of at least 8 Kurosawa movies that I'd love to hear his opinions on

Just Rashomon this weekend. Such a different movie and I'm still not sure what I think of it.

Yes Rashomon is still confusing me. :) I started watching Kurosawa movies a few weeks ago. I've watched 7 Samurai, Rashomon, Ran and Yojimbo. Rashomon is the only one I'm not sure I found great or not.

Rashomon gave me chills, that Medium was terrifying for no visual effects.

Rashomon gave me chills, that Medium was terrifying for no visual effects.

The mere image of that particular scene still sends chills down my back. I love this movie.

Je vous a dit!

Hentaiiiiii!!!!!

me when i go to japan

NARUTO

Who's Ethan? I think you mean Nathan haha

@@lepragunner1586 he means Ethan Hunt😂

Well the guy he was based on survived the war and spared by the Japanese exactly like the movie so they kinda went with historical accuracy there

coryinthehouse no you're not

Yeah? Then why are they making the second film? I'm pretty sure a lot of people saw it to green light a sequel.

It was a nice procedural drama if it aired on FX. But yeah, I liked it.

Alpha Luna it got really mixed reception mostly

Tom Cruise doesn't meet the physicality of the role as described in the book BUT actually gets the personality right. People are just so used to his charisma that they assumed that Jack Reacher was trying to be witty when he really just wanted to get stuff done ("collateral" had a similar problem). besides boy being 6.5 feet tall and bulky, he did the role well.

overratted*

Well there are a lot of parallels with Dances with wolves, but agree with you that they are still different. Now... If you want a dances with wolves clone, then watch Avatar the James Cameron version.

@@introvertedpenguin3923 No Ferngully reference?

It is

Default American storytelling, it's what the majority audience loves supposedly and brings girlfriends to the movies (like women can't watch anything else but romantic movies). But it felt like they weren't even trying.

I thought it was a great plot twist... who would've known windows have feelings

It wasn't necesary but I don't mind it. And I appreciate the struggle of widdow falling in love with the guy who killed her husband.

Yeah, I thought that was a waste of time. "Hey, lets make the widow of the man Tom killed, take care of and fall in love with him. Its poetic!" No, its cliché.

Yes, i have the same problem with the movie, but oh well, i see why it is in there the same way like why TC's character "switches sides". It very much romanticizes the "samurai way". The gatling gun battle works so much better to set a contra point there, and, at least for me, redeemes the previous flaws nearly completely. I really wouldn't call it A+ by any stretch, but the movie is far better than its street reputation !

That’s legit what I said when watching. Sadly I’m an Xbox boy

Jim Stewart Cohen Never seen that movie. You recommend it even today?

Master And Commander is TEH SHIT. Amazing film.

dont be foolish. the last samurai is waaaaaay miiiiiles better

JEFFREY Hell yeah! It's awesome! :)

Hugo GONÇALVES Master And Commander won 2 Oscars and was nominated for 8 more, including best picture and best direction. But it came out the same year as the last LOTR movie that stole almost every Oscar that year. Edit: It came out the same year as The Last Samurai as well, damn that was a good movie year for big action adventure stuff.

It's always been that way w/ Cruise's films.

Justin Forsythe Cruise is a manlet.

Emperor Valkorion It's way more cringe to pretend than to just own it.

Yeah, that awkward moment when Cruise wants to look tall for a change, so he accepts a role in a film full of Japanese actors... And then the majority of time he stands next to Ken Watanabe, who's five inches taller than him. You can actually see it in the scene where Algren tells Katsumoto about the battle of Thermopylae - they appear to be the same height, but Algren is standing on a damn hill.

The height changes are more so that the director has more freedom to create symmetrical shots and have characters equally in frame. It would be a nightmare if they had to account for height differences in every scene. I doubt it's about TC ego, most likely the opposite. Imagine having to act and talk like a samurai badass while standing on an apple crate in front of 50 crew the whole movie. That's gotta take some guts.

if they took out the whiny kids it would be perfect.

well Chris said that it's probably gonna be made by Spielberg.There is already a review for Minority report soo War of the worls is the only choice

Wanna bout Austin Powers in Austinpussy?

yeah baby

😅😂

Well, I ain't even gonna argue with this. Tom Cruise tend to star in absolutely sh*t movies

Sláine McCool every plot has been done before, what matters is how it is executed.

And this was very dances with wolves done very well

It's loosly based on a true story-ish. It blends two real events and uses them to convey a message that isn't quite what was happening at the time. It was a french officer, Jules Brunet, who was sent by France to support the Shogun against the Emperor. At that time the Emperor was cracking down on the cast system, and its decision to forbid the right to bear weapons was the last straw for the Shogun, the samurai in command of the army. When the Shogun was overthrown by the Emperor Meiji, starting the Meiji era, an imperial decree ordered France to withdrew its support to the Shogun, now a rebel against the power instead of the power itself. When France withdrew its support, J. Brunet disobeyed orders and decided to stay with the troops he trained. After the defeat, France took him back and, due to the popularity of his actions in France (and the fact that the Emperor wasn't exactly fond of France to begin with), the japanese request of having him punished was denied.

Sláine McCool But it's the way the plot is executed that counts.

Yeah, which is why suspension of disbelief is so important. I KNOW it's not real, but to enjoy it, I have to forget that; it's harder to do when you know that the character Katsumoto is based on used guns all the time, and that the conscripts depicted in their 'first' battle in the forest were, by that time, very experience in using guns and should've been fine. The movie is a summary of hundreds of years in history, to make people who don't know the history get a good grasp of it in less than 2 hours. I never said I didn't enjoy it, I'm just responding to one of Chris' comments about it. This movie deserves the A+ imo and I love watching it, hell, I cried at the end!

lol

Tyler Tompkins Which scene?

Yup he is reviewing War of the Worlds :P He already reviewed Minority Report.

Adrian Duenas the scene where the first alien pod comes out of the ground and Tom Cruise runs away while people are getting zapped.

So agree I love it too

If someone makes a fan edit of War Of The Worlds that just mutes all of Dakota Fanning's screaming then it will sweep at the Oscars. Loved the film but my god I want to pierce my eardrums with a hairpin whenever she opens her mouth.
