“47 Ronin” tells a stormy adventure of 47 unrecognized samurai (ronin). After the general, their master was muderred, these samurai plan to avenge for him. They leave their homeland, hit the road to avenge with the help of Kai, a samurai who is mixed race Japanese - English. The ronin have to face to evil forces, demons and powerful witches who seek to harm and destroy them.
A singular viewing experience: a multi-colored downer fantasy which combines bursts of imagination with a bleak worldview, resulting in something that rarely feels mainstream.
In spite of its enjoyable, easy-to-exploit aspects, "47 Ronin" is a big budget spectacle hamstrung by its need to be at once flippant and respectful of its honor-driven source material.
47 Ronin is admirably devoted to its material, but it's almost tedious to watch.
