Samurai Tom Cruise.
The movie is epic in scope, pretty to look at, and a great score, but that didn't stop me from being Slightly disappointed. I love Cruise, but was checking my watch several times during this movie. It just meanders around a good bit. The action when happening is exciting. I just felt like the potential for greatness was missed by a few inches. Maybe years from now a rewatch will help me enjoy more.
