Started out strong, but became sappy.

Rating: 6/10 (20 December 2003)

The Last Samurai, started out strong, but like the Samurai in the movie it faded away with time. The ending was too sweet, too sappy and too much. I never understood why the man who modernized Japan, became the villain. The Industrialist fulfilled his obligation to the Emperor. In conclusion, Cruise fits well with the movie, but I hate the character Cruise evolves into. I give it a 6 out of 10.
