An excellent movie-can`t understand why all the negative reviews..... What a treat-for all the senses -beautiful scenery, fantastic acting, and thought provoking scenes and conversations. Tom Cruise is a star and probably always will be but I must mention Ken Watanabe who was outstanding-so much heart and soul in his role- I was moved by his amazing performance. Of course all the other actors were fabulous- I have not often seen actors portray so much emotion without saying a word! While this movie did not receive an Oscar nomination, the fans give it an A+++++ All the best to Ken- sincerely hopes he takes home the award- none of the other

The Last Samurai is one of those few movies that actually delivers what it says it will- an epic. Tom Cruise played a good troubled soldier, but the Japanese cast stole the show- the best performance coming from Ken Watanabe. The accolades are all well deserved.

I`ve never seen an action movie specially in barbaric war scenes filled with emotional spices which moved me most. I visited Japan before and agree in most of the virtues shown in the movie.

This is the best movie I have ever seen in my life. Manages to combine the history of several Japanese samurai characters and the legend and character of Saigo Katsumoto to portray how the Japanese people of the time viewed Saigo as a hero. The best part is that even though it is an action film, it is ALL about the characters. It`s witty, sad, funny, romantic, exciting, and just about every positive description you can imagine. Tom performs well, but Ken Watanabe ("Katsumoto") steals the show. This OUTSTANDING actor manages to send chills up and down your spine with just a look as he portrays the fierce samurai leader...then you grow to lo

A fantastic epic film. More films should aspire to be like this. This film would win many awards in a year not dominated by Lord of the Rings

When I walked into the movie with my brother, I thought it was going to be one of those guy movies. But like they say " never judge a book by it`s cover," the same goes for movies too huh!! I loved it, it was the best movie I`ve seen in a long time! I`d have to say it`s my favorite and would reccomend it to anyone that loves action with a little softness to it!!
