Nothing to do with 47 Ronin
29 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
If you go into this as a martial arts movie, one might enjoy it. The fight scenes are on point, acting B grade at best, cheesy at most times. But to link this to 2013's 47 Ronin is a joke, a lot of exposition about the legacy but no flashbacks of the story or characters. What if I had never seen it? Better served just saying it was a family dynasty thing. This is just another ruined property by Netflix.

It's your typical find the person with the thing to stop the other group from destroying us or the world. The old traditions clashing in the new world, blah blah blah. The actors even play with a little 4th wall break when Luna tells Shinshiro "she doesn't need the protection of a John Wick fan boy" referring to his character Zero from JW3. All the teen angst is tired schlock by lazy writers. They have to do better, especially if they want to raise prices.

To each their own in finding joy in this but it's nothing getting upset about. See it for yourself, but know it is Not related to its name sake, only by the characters mentioning it over and over to try and convince the viewers. More likely themselves.
