The Last Samurai

8.4/10 stinky bananas

Fucking Tom Cruise. The guy is an absolute legend. If there was a pound for pound ranking for action movie stars, Tom Cruise would be number 1.

The Last Samurai is a top 3 all time look for Tom Cruise. The hair is spectacular; what a handsome devil he is. The Official Most Handsome Tom Cruise Movie Rankings goes as follows:

1. Top Gun: Maverick

2. The Last Samurai

3. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

4. Tropic Thunder

Anyway, enough about Tom Cruise, let's get to the movie. The action is awesome - great action scenes from start to finish. The best of which has to be when the ninjas ambushed the samurais, that scene fucking rules. The samurais are so damn cool.

Katsumoto and Ujio are fucking elite secondary characters. Fantastic performances from both Ken Watanabe and Hiroyuki Sanada. On the other hand, the emperor is possibly the worst actor in movie history. I'm not sure you can even classify what he did in this movie as "acting".

The Last Samurai definitely gets the TSBRSoA (The Stinky Bananas Recommendation Stamp of Approval). Watch this movie because it's friggin cool.
