I heard a while back that they were doing a movie based on the famous story, and was really looking forward to it.

That said, this looks like some combo of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon + 300 + Last Samurai.

I'll withhold judgement till I start to see the Rotten Tomatoes reviews come in.

But based on first impressions, I really wish they had left out the magic stuff and kept it closer to reality.

Good example of this, trailer for one of my favourite Samurai movies from recent times (available on Netflix):





Here's the full movie I just found on Vimeo:





And here's another from the same director, still well reviewed, but not as good as 13 Assassins:

Thoughts on Wolverine? Without going away spoilers.

I didn't enjoy it.

Wolverine had it's moments, but ultimately I thought it was a little flat. I think I liked the Origins one better.

It sounds an allegory where the Europeans come to save Asia from its own menace.

i just saw it today, to me it had some white knight scenes that made it fall short, the first one was better but the credit scenes is what made it interesting

Wolverine is so blue pill that it is disgusting. The only good thing was Hugh Jackman's masculininity...but he did some over the top white knighting for a very average looking chick.

**********SPOILERS***************

Then there was the high amount of dudes dying all over the place, and the one female villian killed hundreds before dying to the hands of ....a female. And when a male tried ot kill her off, barely affected her. It just makes males look way too disposable and takes white-knighting to the extreme. Atleast Man of Steel kept Lois in check and made sure the female villian got her ass kicked even if Superman white knighted for lois.
