Sure, it's formulaic, but anything with ninjas and a little epic theme song thrown in for kicks doesn't hurt. Definitely worth a viewing.

Warner Brothers The Last Samurai (Blu-ray)
Epic Action Drama. Set in Japan during the 1870s, The Last Samurai tells the story of Capt. Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise),a respected American military officer hired by the Emperor of Japan to train the country's first army in the art of modern warfare. As the Emperor attempts to eradicate the ancient Imperial Samurai warriors in preparation for more Westernized and trade-friendly government policies, Algren finds himself unexpectedly impressed and influenced by his encounters with the Samurai, which places him at the center of a struggle between two eras and two worlds, with only his own sense of honor to guide him.
Historically one of the most inaccurate movies ever... but loved every second of it. Draws you in with it's amazing soundtrack.
I hate this movie for three reasons: 1- Historically way too inaccurate (Japanese used firearms since 16th century) 2- Stupid plot 3- Tom Cruise.
