Review of The Last Samurai

Without doubt this has got to be the worst movie I have ever had the misfortune to see. Though I can empathise with the other reviewer regarding the multi-layered depth of the storyline this is all lost to the viewer by its farcical delivery.

The actors did not stand a chance! Though I have not read the original script I am guessing that the movie stems from a subtle and well composed source. The multi-faceted snippets of a deep and diverse storyline that occasionally leak out from this disjointed movie are clues to this.

Despite the potential strength of the plot or the proved skills of the actors the delivery of the entire production of this film has slashed or destroyed all that was good about it.

I have to say, however, that this is one DVD that I will forever cherish. It is the perfect material to study to see what NOT to do!

I would recommend that all students studying Media and Film qualifications throughout the world study this film as part of their course.

For fun I started to compile a list of things that were wrong with it and in so doing realised that nearly every single facet of this film is flawed.

Good luck with your list...
