Captain Nathan Algren-sen

Rating: 7/10 (3 October 2015)

Over the years I heard my friends say how great THE LAST SAMURAI is. Guess what? I gave it a go. Apart from the usual "white guy saves the day"...
I found it annoying.. the use of the word samurai. Samurai way, samurai sword, samurai this, samurai that.. it has to be a million times as if to constantly remind the viewer of the title. We get it, it's the THE LAST SAMURAI.
During the battle scene our Tom boy is only hit twice, once in the leg and other in the shoulder. Not to mention, he's spearheaded towards an enemy firing canons, rifles & gattling guns (25 rounds p/m). He survives while the entire samurai (here's that word again) scum (I meant that to be squad) is eradicated from this earth, only to reinforce that he's THE LAST SAMURAI. #EvenSupermanGetsTakenOutOnceInAWhile
That Asian chick was looking to bang Tom boy the minute she laid eyes on him. Despite the fact that he killed her husband, later is responsible for the death of her nephew, her brother & literally every single able bodied men of her village. Further reiterates that he's the man, THE LAST SAMURAI.
I find Ken Watanabe's acting to be funny. Instead Chow Yun-Fat would've done justice to the character IMO (I don't care if he's Chinese). But who cares, it was always meant to be, Tom Cruise as THE LAST SAMURAI. #JustCruising
It's just not a film, it's THE LAST SAMURAI. Would rate it purely out of the love for war violence depicted..
