Blade of the 47 Ronin

The movie was not the greatest , However I love martial arts movies and I was astounded at the fact that most of the ppl in the movie really study martial arts and that is very important most movies have actors that have no martial arts training so lighten up It was fun to c real martial artists. Sometimes it's not all about the grandeur it is sometimes fun to.c hard skills. Most American movies have extreme budgets and it still a lot of times isn't worth the money they spent,sooo give it a chance it's fun to c ppl who can really do martial arts. I wouldn't normally go on this long but Imbd is making me use 600 charecters.

This should not be a "sequel" at all, it is not worthy in the slightest. 47 Ronin was a great film, this 'sequel' is a disservice. Starship Troopers 2 was a better sequel to the original than this -- and thats not saying much.

Blade is totally uninspiring, boring, not sure why I am still watching. For now its on the "watch a bit more of it later" roster; movies that take me 3 or 4 days to finish. Something to have running while I fall asleep.

Look at it this way, I'm 25 minutes in before I decide "you know what? I'm going to look up the rating in imdb before I continue at this point." Just wanting to make sure I'm on the same page as everyone else. With a 4.7 right now, it appears we are in agreement.

What a horrible follow up to a classic. I turned this move off half way through and watch the original. This movie did the original no justice. I wish they did better. No honor In this movie.

The action scenes were sub-par, the acting felt very scripted, the actors / actress has no real interest. This move did. Not pay tribute to the samurai tradition but instead made it a joke.

I can't understand why Netflix would give this the name of such a legendary movie and produced such a horrible story line.

Please stop remaking amazing movies and not doing them justice.

If I was a ronin I would sacrifice my life while watching this.

The original 2013 film 47 Ronin had astounding visuals but lacked a compelling story. Despite the original film not being a good film I enjoyed it. This film, Blade of the 47 Ronin, has none of those great visuals, and the story is far from gripping. Featured throughout this film is poor amateurish cinematography, uninspired and irrational writing, with poor acting. Teresa Ting's character Onami is the most captivating character in the film, the others for me were forgettable. The stunt team absolutely carried this film, they did a great job with the fight scenes throughout and was the only reason I watched it through. That said, I hated the fake CGI blood and would have rather had no blood at all. This seems like it would have been better as a fully fleshed out 10ish episode series rather than a film sequel.

The acting was horribly distracting. There might have been 1 or 2 good actors, but they couldn't save the plot AT ALL!!! The CGI blood was also bad. Master Shinshiro (I think his name was), is obviously one of the better actors. I'm very upset none of the females were good at acting. The choreography was good but could have been better executed. I didn't watch the other Ronin movie with Reeves, but I hope it was waaay better than this one. I'm trying to figure out how it was in Netflix top ten . I guess if your a lover of fighting in movies, you might enjoy it. The problem wasn't their slow movement, but that they were so slow, it looked like they were acting it out. Very few scenes were executed well. I would never recommend to anyone to watch. EVER!!!
