Critics consensus

“47 Ronin is a surprisingly dull fantasy adventure, one that leaves its talented international cast stranded within one dimensional roles.”

There's nothing pretty or exciting about this movie (inexplicably, it's in 3-D), even when all anyone's doing is fighting.

The pacing is cloddish and tone unaccountably dour.

47 Ronin is about magic, the fantastic, a witch, and CGI monsters that adorn a muddled and confused plot.
