Terrible

Rating: 1/10 (1 October 2006)

Possibly the worst movie ever made. This film somehow makes an interesting concept like feuding samurai warlords horribly boring and slightly stupid. The minimal low quality actions scenes, coupled with wasted scenes that forcibly emphasize one of the character's insanity, added to the poor acting and that horribly annoying jester character , makes RAN a complete piece of crap. Why this movie receives the blind praise it does is something I will never understand. How can a movie this bad be considered one of Kurosawa's best? The only reason I could understand someone liking this movie even a little bit would be if he/she were a die-hard Kurosawa fan. And even then, this travesty should beconsidered beneath some of his better works like Yojimbo.
