A great movie in all aspects, except the ending

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2004)

I have to say that I was really impressed by this movie. It showed the spirit of samurais and their bravery, which far beyond my imagination (and of course some of other people who live in western world). No wonder why they are so legendary. Even they treated their enemy with respect (if their enemy prefer to commit seppuku rather than being captured). It was a great movie in all aspect, except the ending where Tom Cruise is the only one alive. It would be much better if Tom Cruise died in the battle or commit seppuku. Remember, he said he wanted to be a Samurai. Or maybe because he is an American, therefore he must be alive? For me, the star of this movie is Ken Watanabe
