Where do I start!! Wowee oh how I've longed for something this good :) After watching it thrice this weekend and in 3D when it premiered. I could not help myself but to gush over it!
This is like real life Anime hehe. Or at least what the good Anime used to be like.
There's the brilliant formula:
* Two forbidden lovers
* The quest of vengeance
* A country being taken over by a Tyrant
* Did I mention the two forbidden lovers fighting all odds to be together lol
Greatness!!
*Spoiler Alert*
Set in the majestic backdrop of Japan, during the Shogun era, after being deceived by witchcraft, 47 Samurai set out to revenge the death of their Master. Kai, an outcast, seeking acceptance from the Ronin, (Master-less Samurai) is determined to help them for his dear love, Mika is held against her will by the enemy, Lord Kira. They encounter many mythical creatures and savage beasts while doing so. In the end good always triumphs over evil and Lord Kira is defeated. Unfortunately they went against the Shogun, and is being punished by performing Seppuku
What makes this movie even greater is the fact that it is based on actual events in Japanese History. Go read Way of the Bushido 47-Ronin
This movie has the right amount of drama, action, suspense, romance and of course comedy :) Takes me back to the days of Rourouni Kenshin, Samurai Champloo, Ninja Scroll etc. Epicness I tell you!!!
So what are you waiting for! Go see it!!
