Quite frankly, it’s not that good a movie. It’s also very obvious,(since I watched it on apple t.v, straight after watching the trailer) that they’ve cut scenes and entire characters, as well as editing many of the scenes. I think some of the scenes and characters they’ve cut may have made this adaptation much more enjoyable.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. The landscapes, the scenery and the costumes were amazing. Got drawn in to the world. I also enjoyed the story, the characters and the action. All in all a very enjoyable and entertaining movie. People are spending way to much time on deconstructing the movie, on Keanu character etc. at least it gets the a Japanese themed movie into the limelight and in the media. sure it would have been nice to have only Japanese cast but see how far that would have gone. Just enjoy the show for what it is. loved it.

Great review! I feel like you showed why people who love the story of the 47 Ronin might get disappointed by the movie, w/o ruining the movie. However, I don’t think they got the tengu wrong: The guy on the left in the photo above looks a like a really great karasu-tengu (aka crow-tengu) which have been around for quite a while. You can see life-sized statues if you visit the path at Kenchoji in Kamakura.
