Absolutely brilliant. You want Samurais? You got it! You want Ninjas? You got it! You want Samurais fighting Ninjas? Hell yeah, you got that too! The only thing missing was Godzilla, otherwise this was one of the best films I've seen for a long, long time. The fighting scenes were just intense, amazing, gory, stabby - just fricking brilliant. Even Cruise looks good with a sword. Forget what you think about him - Cocktail, Top Gun - this movie suited him down to the ground, and he did good. The main reason it was so excellent is that Samurais and Ninjas are really cool. Even cooler than robots, Mr Frosty, and robots that serve Mr Frosty's from their chest compartments!
Now get this: the battle scenes were BETTER THAN LORD OF THE RINGS. You got that? Better. You know the way LOTR made the Matrix look like a shallow special effects movie? Well, The Last Samurai did exactly that to LOTR. I don't think any of the scenes were CG - just people with swords, hitting and stabbing, and exploding with blood! That's what ruins LOTR - it's obviously CG, so you can't have any compassion when ORC_SPRITE_1167, or whatever gets hit by an CG arrow. Now horses getting hit by cannonfire - that'll do me.
I'll ruin something for you now - Billy Connolly gets killed after about 15 minutes. But this is a good thing, because it means that he can't be in the rest of the movie. Leaves more room for Samurais, see, which can only be a good thing.

You still spoiled it
What for? The Billy Connolly bit? Look, let me ask you a question: What is cooler - Ninjas, or someone with a stupid purple goatee and lycra trousers? Huh? HUH? *prods*
Thanks
