Oscar-Worthy!

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2008)

The Last Samurai is one the best movies from 2003. This movie is filled with depth and your imagination will run away with this excellent film. The story is about a American Civil War hero who travels to Japan to fight a samurai and train the Japanese army. But, Algren gets captured by the samurai and he trains Algren the ways of the Samurai. Now the Emperor's army and the samurais must battle. Whose side is Algren on? Tom Cruise did just about everything right. But Ken Watanabe deserves an Oscar. He was ripped at the Academy Awards several years ago. The scenery is beautiful as the movie was filmed in Japan and New Zealand. The action scenes are perfect and all the guts and gore are shown unlike Kingdom of Heaven. Rounding up this Oscar-worthy movie is the beautiful music by Hans Zimmer. This movie is underrated. I rate this movie 10/10.
