The Last Samurai (2003) Review

The Last Samurai seems like a remake of the 1990 western Dances with Wolves. A Japanese remake, I would add. They are similar films, except Dances with Wolves is solely about culture and relationships, but the Last Samurai goes a step ahead and dares to put it action, battles, and sadness. The Last Samurai is well acted, well directed, and certainly shows its audience to respect samurai culture. The Last Samurai can be boring at parts, but it makes up for it with good acting, impressive action sequences, and heartfelt moments between Algren and the Samurai. It would have been a successful remake.
Movie Rating: B+
