5/10. Here's why:
47 RONIN is the fantasy version of a real story. That didn't offend me, but it did confuse me. I mean, the story had enough strenght on its own; it didn’t need embelishment. By the way, you can’t make a movie where the humans battle a monster within the first 15 minutes and then not show something similar until the climax. There are other creatures, but no one really fights them. I also wasn’t offended by the addition of an American. Actually, KAI (just like Keanu Reeves) is half-Asian. And I also was confused by it because he doesn’t feel like the protagonist. He barely gets any screen time and development, which is why Reeves doesn’t get much to work with. OISHI was the one that felt like the protagonist and Hiroyuki Sanada’s performance received 47 applauses from me.
