So whats the .... point of the thread, are you asking something or.... wha?
i don't get it either... but i did see last samurai and it was a pretty badass movie. but it reminded me of Kenshin more than Naruto.
hmmm.... the last samurai was a very enjoyable movie indeed, but um what exactly is this thread for?I'm a little confused

that is exactly what is preventing me from watching that movie. Tom Cruise as a samurai is just wrong. Stupid Asian Wannabe.
actually i dont like Tom Cruise, but he was in my opinion the best hes ever been in this movie (cept maybe a few good men) and hes not a asian wannabe you have to watch to understand, so dont let it hold you back its a good movie

Gay ass Tom Cruise,are you guys that young.That man made classic movies,try and say Top Gun was shit in the 80's,try and say the first Speed movie was a flop,try and say Rainman was nothing in its time.Do you guys remember the Mission impossible movies? Shit,even Adam Sandler impersonated one of the characters on his comedy cd,that's the type of impact this guy has had.Sure his movies haven't been classics as of lately,but that guy can make a movie.
is the new one better than the original version? i like the original it was good, but is the new one worth watching?

I'm not saying Tom Cruise is a bad actor, I just don't imagine him being a samurai, I will watch the movie before giving any other comments but USUALLY that kind of movies where a white guy tries to be a ninja/samurai/martial artist suck. They just try to americanize the stuff.

Yea it was...
As for MI2... that was a complete load of bollocks...
Top Gun I only saw a bit of it... didn't like it but you could say it was early days for him though..
MI was good but then again it didn't rely as heavily on his character as the second one did...
Havn't seen the others, might have a look though.
Omg tom cruise made a lot of good movies...
Ever seen minority report ?
And the bunch of movies he made before that...damnit cant remember the names but i'll edit my post when i remember
@powerpvm: i saw a preview and i understand why he is a samurai in this movie...totally explainable but i won't spoil

Tom Cruise isn't my favorite actor.. but after being dragged to go see Master and Command, I figured that The Last Samurai couldn't possibly be any worse.
And I was right. It was a lot better, actually.
When I saw the previews, I also thought it was just him being an asian wannabe too... but my expectations were off on this one. You really would have to see the movie to understand.
Oh yeah, and Cruise did a good job in this one. I didn't even know who it was until after the movie (cuz I don't watch the credits).

Actually in my case... I thought Top Gun was too slow and boring, he wasn't in speed, and Rainman was also very slow and boring. I didn't like the mission impossible movies much either, great storyline and everything but the whole thing just didn't seem up to scratch.
For some reason, i haven't really liked his movies much at all. I'm not saying i don't like the guy though, he's ok i guess. But so far i haven't seen any decent movies from him, where he has really been a good actor.
And... uh... i'm pretty ignorant i guess. But i don't know who Adam Sandler is. =_+;
I agree that him as a Samurai dosn't work. There was never a single western Samurai, and the reason is simply because the Samurai is 'culteral' and the western world has nothing to do with that culture at all. Even when the Samurai was obsolete, they kept the Samurai around for quite a while purely for cultural reasons over in the east. Seeing a western guy act as a character from Japanese culture is kind of like taking the piss.
It's a little like saying: "Your culture is nothing special. Anyone could of done that, hell we americans could of just as easily been the creators of that culture. Look! we're going to stick a western guy in as a Samurai in a movie, just to prove how stupid the idea is.".
Guess i'm a little narrow minded. But it's just like that time i heard some American co-director of the anime 'Metropolis' claim that it was the Americans that created Anime and manga, and not the Japanese. He even had the cheek to say that the Japanese simply copied their ideas! >_O
Ok how about watching the movie Legend, or Minority Report, or Interview with a Vampire, Those are all really GREAT Movies.
Yes they are all good movies. But again i state, that Tom Cruise dosn't act as well as he should act.
Those movies did 'him' justice rather than the other way around. That isn't how it should be. When Arnold Schwarznegger (sp?) did Terminator 2 or Terminator 1, he did the film justice by his excellent acting. But then you look at Terminator 3 and sure you have a ton of special effects, and the film itself was good, but Arnold's acting was nowhere near as good as he was in the other 2 films, which ruins Terminator 3 in a whole big way.
Tom Cruise did this in most of the films i've seen him in. The only one he seems to actually 'fit' was the minority report. But his acting could of been better.
