35 From 3: My Favorite Films From 2003 (35 movies items)" The main reason I like this movie is because it's alot like Dances With Wolves. Except, instead of wolves, it's with a buncha samurais. And instead the ol' West, it's the ol' East. Of course. Sword infested back-in-the-day Feudal Japan versus the machine-gun laden power of the New World."

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- February 2015 (34 movies items)" DVD- 2hrs. 34min. First Viewing The Last Samurai is a big, old-school Hollywood epic that works largely do to the film's scope and beautiful visuals. We've seen this story done a thousand times before; a white man is taken in by a foreign group and becomes one of their own, and a moral man. The cast is pretty good though, especially Wantanabe, and the movie is suitably thrilling. A strong story might've made this more than just a solid feature but, as is, it's a solid movie."
