Unfathomable prejudice against this film

The current world is an odd thing. Opinions formed by a few can be so forcefully pushed out as to cause a group think regarding a film that isn't even in the realm of objectivity. It's not worth my time to determine why such opinions were formed, but for whatever reason 47 Ronin is badly maligned, and unjustly.

I wasn't into the fantasy aspect of the film, but I didn't care for the fantasy elements of 300 either, and it didn't prevent me from enjoying the movie.
It is shot well, acted well, paced well, etc. Basically the criteria I look for was met well, so I liked it, and think it is just fine. Based on opinion perhaps it could be between a 6-8 out of 10, but there is nothing awful about it.

I had the benefit of not hearing or seeing any critiques prior to watching the movie, so I went in with no preconceptions or expectations. I found it enjoyable enough and didn't once feel the need to lament the minutes of my life I'll never get back as I did with countless other movies. It's all quite subjective in the end.
