47 Ronin was released in Japan on 6 December, and it would be a sure bet that I was there ready and waiting to see it!
I am happy to report that it is a decent movie, and Jin is very good in what is an important minor role.
I have written three posts, one that has no spoilers, one that is an extensive and obviously heavily spoiler style summary of the movie, and one that concentrates on Jin's scenes in the movie and my thoughts about his character. They are all at my lj and can be found as follows:
47 Ronin - non spoiler thoughts can be read
here.
47 Ronin - extensive and long spoiler laden summary of the movie can be found
here.
47 Ronin - Oishi Chikara focussed spoiler laden summary of the movie and my thoughts on his character/performance can be found
here.
If you can resist the spoilers, I would suggest you do so. I know there are some countries that have a few months to wait, if you do read I hope that they give you a taste of the movie. If you are a spoiler queen, enjoy. Any questions, thoughts, discussion I'd love to hear from you...and when it's more widely released, I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone thinks!
