Me too, only I'll elaborate

Zwick has done it again. Glory kicked major ass, and this one, although not quite as powerful, maintained the same feel that Glory had, it even recycled a few scenes and a few actors too. Cruise fucking rules, I don't care how many people try to convince me he sucks, I love the guy's acting, in fact, a few are my favourite scenes in this film are due to his acting, not because of bloody swordfights or gunplay. 2 scenes that come to mind are the 2 times Cruise stood his ground against the samurai, first in the big battle, and second in the rain when he fought the one guy with the wooden stick. Pretty much the same, and they only prove how fucking bad ass Cruise's character was. That, combined with the serious action scenes later, really made you care about Algen and Matsumoto (WHO IS THAT ACTOR, great job there), and it really made the ending hard to stomach. After Kill Bill, the swordfights werent too bloody, but thats like comparing Platoon to Saving Private Ryan, they both did a fantastic job, and we'll just leave it at that.
And yes, if there's any justice, this movie will snag a couple of Oscars.

9/10

To get an oscar, the film needs a nomination, to get a nomination, the film must be taken into consideration, and to be taken into consideration by the academy, you need an academy screener!
*false hope*

What on Earth are you mumbling about? Of course, there'll be an Academy Screener. But even if there won't be one, The Last Samurai still has a much better chance than all other movies released in the past year (except for LOTR:TRK) to win Oscars since none of those movies will have an "Academy Screener" either.

I just watched this movie tonight, I gotta say it was FAN-fucking-TASTIC. I loved it. 3 1/2 out of 4 stars. All I can say about the movie was WOW. Tommy Cruise can act. I gotta give it to him for this movie.
