This Christmas, Keanu Reeves stars in a big budget 3-D adaptation of the tale of the 47 Ronin. Reeves is Kai, a disgraced swordsman man who joins Oishi (Hiroyuki Sanada) on his quest to lead 47 outcast warriors seeking vengeance over an evil overload.

At the very least, information technology'southward the best Hollywood-version of Japanese tale opening this vacation flavor. Then is Reeves speaking softly and carry a large bract plenty?

Here are five things to know about Keanu and the residual of the masterless samurai:

Universal

i. Epic Tale Becomes Ho-Hum: The story of the 47 Ronin is one of Japan's most popular and beloved legends. Based loosely on events from the 18th century, the primary plot follows the loyal samurai who become masterless ("ronin") when their leader Lord Asano (Min Tanaka) is tricked and forced to commit ritual seppuku (suicide by sword). The 47 waited a yr, planning their vengeance. The new version includes an unneeded damsel (Kô Shibasaki) in distress sub plot, underdeveloped CGI creatures,and lots of 300-style slow-motion. Lost among the pizzazz is the nearly captivating aspect of the story: the 47'south code of laurels, one that was unflinching.

2. The Real Leader of the 47: Oishi leads his charge into battle and we're rooting for him the whole time. Keanu's Kai is probably the easiest to identify with, notwithstanding Oishi has the most layers. Nosotros wish the film had been more focused on him.

3. 3-D Meh: The production value of Ronin is spectacular. The colorful costumes, the huge set pieces, everything has a beautiful sheen to it. Lamentable and so that the three-D version suffers from the all too normal dark haze that plagues viewers wearing shades. If possible stick with 2-D presentation.

iv. Watch the Witch: Credited as witch, Rinko Kikuchi (Pacific Rim) is the shape-shifting henchwoman of overlord Kira (Tadanobu Asano). Her twisty satin-draped entrances are like some beguiling fashionista tornado. The graphic symbol is pretty darn featherbrained, but as least Kikuchi doesn't look like she'southward going to tear upward in every scene like she did in Guillermo del Toro's monsters vs. robots mash.

5. Only the 2nd Best Keanu Movie of the Season: Last month, Reeves starred and directed Human of Tai Chi. Set in modern Beijing with the help of his old Matrix fight choreographer Woo-ping Yuen, Chi was loose, fun, and had free energy to spare. See it on VOD!
