The story of "47 Ronin" is based on a real event that took place in Japan about 300 years ago, which is where my first issue with the film arises. As a fan of fantasy, I was puzzled by the heavy use of fantasy elements in a movie that claims to tell the story of the samurai. For me, introducing ghosts and witches feels out of place in a narrative like this—imagine if "Titanic" included elves and wizards; it just wouldn't work. While I didn't expect a documentary, I would have preferred a more realistic approach. On the flip side, if I hadn't been familiar with the true story of the 47 Ronin, I might have enjoyed it more. The film has a very Hollywood feel and diverges significantly from traditional Japanese samurai films, complete with a Romeo and Juliet-style love story. There are moments when the plot skips important parts, and some elements seem unnecessary. Despite these typical Hollywood traits, the film is entertaining, with solid acting and a captivating storyline. In conclusion, while it was worth watching, it could have been even better if it had stayed more faithful to the original tale it was based on. Read all
