A Classic

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2006)

Seems that I miss a lot of really good movies when they release. This is one movie that should be preferably seen on the big screen instead of the small screen. A movie this good should be enjoyed that way. This has to be one of the most polished, beautiful, stylish, well written and directed movies in cinema history. One must personally appreciate the locales carefully chosen as well. The only fault I can see is when the Samurai first attacked and Tom cruise's character was too adept at countering them as opposed to the Japanese soldiers who were getting slaughtered. That scene was a critical one and should have been given more attention and realism.
