Honestly, a high contender for a spot amongst my favourite films. I have never felt so emotionally charged, the fact that their whole existence had been dedicated solely to the protection and service of Japan and was destroyed by 'guns' and 'modern technology' showed me that trust is easily broken but traditions are meant to be kept.
I loved it, I thought Tom Cruise did his finest work, the cinematography, the music, the fight scenes - spectacular.
If it were to be compared with RotK, as much as I fear to say it, It was better. Faramir charging to his death - sad, Tom Cruise and the Samuarais charging to theirs - ... I needed a whole box of tissues, I have never cried so much in a battle scene -ever-.
So yes, It was awesome, and I would love to see it again.
