This weekend I chose to see "The Last Samauri" and it disappointed me. The film is somewhat forgettable and I will quote a reviewer on Yahoo Movies who said she had seen it all before 10 years ago when Kevin Costner played the lead. Tom Cruises through another easy role. I had hoped to see him act. I know he can do it. I really don't expect this to be an Oscar frontrunner after seeing it. The box office isn't as phenomenal as you'd expect for a Tom Cruise movie either. I didn't think the sets were that spectacular, and there's better swordplay in, say, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", or "Kill Bill" for that matter. It's a pleasant afternoon at the movies, but no great shakes as far as I'm concerned. I looked at my watch too much. 6 of 10, pretty much the lowest I grade.
