47 Ronin: Good, Bad, or Ugly?

[TarionzCousin]

I will most likely be seeing the movie "47 Ronin" soon. So is it going to be fun, interesting, boring, or horrible?

I'm not sure about the quality of the FXs, which should be the minimum in this sort of flick.

Acting? Keanu. Nough said.

Dialogues? Trailers do not suggest anything more than clichés.

Plot? Didn't see any in the trailers and ads. Not a good sign.

Action? Depends on your standards, I'm not sure there is a wow factor. Just a bunch of jump cuts and shacky cam.

Costumes? Looks good.

Couldn't pretty much all that have been said about "The Matrix", though?

Not the FX part. They were pretty cool in the trailers.

Which is why I skipped the rest of the Matrix series.

Keanu sucks at acting. I see no point in encouraging him by paying to see his films.

Keanu sucks at acting.

He seems to do okay at stoic/numb/emotionless--which is why this movie might work.

Like any other movie, your enjoyment will be influenced by your expectations. It looks entertaining. A couple of hours spent watching stuff being killed could be fun.

There is strong evidence of a plot in the trailer, just not a complex one. It seems the basic story of invading army that is resisted by a small band of heroes not unlike 300. I expect it to be about as good as 300 as well which is to say entertaining to watch once but forgettable after that.

The movie also suffers from being based on a traditional Japanese tale - with a role added in for a star who isn't Japanese.

I would not have minded a fantasized version of the tale, but the addition smacks a bit of racism, on top of the film's other weaknesses.

A guy on reddit claimed to have worked on the movie, and says that originally Keanu Reeves wasn't the main hero, just a POV character. But the studio balked and recut the movie, adding extra scenes to make it more, you know, sh***y.
