    ★★★

    I cried about 4 times while watching this... must be one of those days...
    The first hour is considerably more enjoyable than the second (does romance like that, so magical and perfect, actually exist?...) and I'm not quite sure why the detour to Ireland revolved around a relationship too. It lacks any tension or dramatic weight because it's apparent, both from the story and the runtime, that it will amount to nothing. The contrast between lives and places would have been enough I think.
    I really liked the first hour though!

    ★★

    There's some good elements here that could have made a better movie. It's always the writing bringing things down...

    The plot is a classic one: a group of loyal, honor-bound warriors (a mix between knights and samurai), witness their master's unjust downfall (which is the result of some very vague machinations by the villain) and set about avenging him against all odds. I don't know if it was based on it, but it's highly reminiscent of the 47 Ronin event.…

    The script, written partly by Mario Puzo of all people, is really brought to life by the actors. Christopher Reeve was such a star.

    Sometimes you only need one set, a great script and a group of good actors to make a gripping film. One that is still very much resonant today.
