Storyline
While hunting in the forest, Lord Asano of Ako and his samurai find a young half-breed and take him with them to live in the castle. Several years later, Lord Asano holds a tournament to welcome the Shogun to Ako. The night after the tournament, Lord Asano is bewitched into hurting Lord Kira of Nagato, and is punished into committing seppuku by the Shogun. Realizing that it was a Lord Kira's evil plot, the samurais and the half-breed sets out for revenge against the Shogun's order. —Immanuel A.

- TriviaCarl Rinsch clashed with Universal over the final vision of the film. Universal wanted to make an effects-driven fantasy blockbuster akin to Avatar (2009) or The Lord of the Rings, while Rinsch envisioned the film as more of a drama, such as Gladiator (2000), or Kingdom of Heaven (2005).
- GoofsMika is awoken by the witch and told that Kai has been killed. The witch sticks a knife into the floorboard beside Mika's head. It is shown from different angles, however, when the witch is leaving the room, the knife is lying on a pillow. In the next shot, the knife is once again stuck in the floorboard.
- Crazy creditsThe Universal spinning Earth begins normally, but after the camera backs away to show the full globe and logo it then slowly zooms back in with the Earth still spinning to Japan and the movies title is drawn over the Pacific Ocean. Clouds then obscure everything then clear as the view zooms in to Japan and the narration begins.

Top review
A true story with a touch of fantasy.
"47 Ronin" is one of those movies that takes a real historical event and tries to up the ante by throwing in some fictional elements and more impressive action sequences. Much like other movies that did this sort of thing before, like Zack Snyder's "300", this movie also has a lot of visual thrills and handles the historical aspects of the story very well. Sadly, unlike other movies of it's kind, most of the fictional elements of the movie don't contribute much to the overall experience, making them feel a bit unnecessary at times.
