47 Ronin (December 25th, 2013)

[Mistress Stowastiq]

I think it looks cool. I like the fantasy style they are going with

I like the fantasy style too especially the rippling liquid cloth to serpent transformation, "u should be scared" chick and the yellow liquid cloth transformation to crazy ass monk attack scene. Also kinda have a soft spot for the guy with the skull tatts and I like it when he finds a good movie role he can fit in.

I kind of want to see the classic now, I thought I saw an anime about it some place. Edit: it was a series of graphic novels I saw on ANN.

@Salodin Keanu was Neo even far back when he played Little Buddha lol. Its like he has one mode but I don't mind. He is also in some 2013 movie called Man of Tai chi I think.

[Salodin]

Honestly, aside from speed and point break I know nothing of the man. And in both those movies I don't recall seeing Neo in them. In fact, he was a pretty bad ass actor in point break afaik.

[Tyrath]

Speed might be Keanu's finest work lol.

[Salodin]

Surfing bank robbers is my favorite by far. But he also had a great cast to go along with him.

[Hatedregret]

Fucking hell guys. Constantine was the shit to me. He is Kristen Stewart with a penis, but I like him in most movies.

[Buffy]

Speed might be Keanu's finest work lol.

Such a great film at the time. Its terribly dated now, I saw it not too long ago, but man was it great when it came out.

[Brill Weave]

Well, you could watch the original black and white Japanese film then.

I have it. I'm always interested in seeing films like this until shit like this happens. I mean I know it's a movie, suspension of reality, yadda yadda yadda. It's just disappointing when they take story and bastardize if just for that sake. Also I really wanted fat Keanu in it for the lulz.

should have won an oscar

Implying that Keanu Reeves can act.

He can though, ever see the film where he's the abusive boyfriend? Can't remember it but had some witch or something in it. Anyways he was actually pretty good in that role which was surprising.

....it's like 300, only in Japan. Guess it's only very loosely based on the original events/legends/plays

If it makes you feel any better; the legend itself was mostly fabricated with all known accounts written by playwrights 40~50 some odd years after the fact due to censorship laws during the Genroku Era.

That movie was called The Gift. It was directed by Sam Raimi before he did the Spiderman movies.

A blue-eyed Asian woman making magical spiders out of blood... yes, I can see this is going to be a very faithful adaptation of the source material.

That's kind of how I'm looking at it.

Yeah I wouldn't be able to take this movie seriously. Otherwise I'd just watch 13 Assassins.

[mallister]

i'ma hafta go watch that again now.

[Waraji]

^ Definitely superior to anything This tripe can possibly hope to be.

[Cantih]

At first I wasn't going to bother.

"47 Ronin, sure it's a good tale. Wait, they're whitewashing the lead, ffs. Nvm."
Trailer dropped.
"Oh, it has nothing to do with the 47 Ronin, it's just an effects action film with a bad name choice. Fuck, there isn't anything else out that week I wanna see, may as well."
