A band of samurai sets out to avenge the death and dishonor of their master at the hands of a ruthless shogun.

Critics Consensus

47 Ronin is a surprisingly dull fantasy adventure, one that leaves its talented international cast stranded within one dimensional roles.

There's nothing pretty or exciting about this movie (inexplicably, it's in 3-D), even when all anyone's doing is fighting.

The pacing is cloddish and tone unaccountably dour.

47 Ronin is about magic, the fantastic, a witch, and CGI monsters that adorn a muddled and confused plot.

2/5

Heavy on CGI, light on entertainment, 47 Ronin is a dreary and deathly dull tale that you will endure, rather than enjoy.

Opening on Christmas Day, 47 Ronin obviously is an afterthought for Universal Pictures.

The critics were to hard on this movie. The story-line was good and the special effects were decent.

I don't dislike this movie. It's actually ok1 The only things that bother me are the sudden time jump ( You'd think they'd give a bit more explanation for the gladiator scene ) and the ending, which seems to fall slightly flat. I think this movie is just slightly underrated.

Excellent movie about honor something lacking in todays world. Based on a true story livened up for American audiences. I would watch it again!

Keanu Reeves' presence is clearly the only thing that kept this from going straight to video. If you watch a lot of Japanese movies, 47 RONIN is nothing but an Americanized representation of shopworn content. Even if you don't, it's 15% rating on Rotten Tomatoes substantiates that the lack of creativity and poor special effects, made it too bland for even those unfamiliar with the genre. I forgot this movie a day after watching it.
