I'm sure the fans all over there are divided into 2 groups, with the majority not liking how this series 'How I Met Your Mother' ended. Guess what, I'm in this group who didn't really like the finale. I have opened my mind to not hate the finale, but can't.

I bet, you've already seen everywhere about fans' dissapointment to this series ending. These are "the always-been-told criticsm" points that I agree on :

1. The title "How I Met Your Mother" doesn't match with the ending part. Technically DID, I know, but I just can't see the blue-french-horn from the early episode appears again. So the writer made us Deja vu? So, is it really how Ted met his kids' mother after 9 season? Tracey's presence is just like a little gift after the whole season showed for me. In the end, the point I get is just how Ted was so in love with Robin and asks his kids for permission to get out with Aunt Robin again.

2. Barney's situation doesn't clear. Who the hell is woman number 31? Are they living together? I know Ellie, the baby who makes Barney's personality change. Salute. But I need to know who is woman number 31. Oh gosh. And then, why must Barney & robin get divorced? I know it's the twist, but I ship them so much. I think, the bad luck you received because the bride appears early is really true.

3. I need more closure. It was pretty dissapointing when I have fallen in love with "The Mother"s character, but she has to died in the end. What is the illness? Seriously, "The Mother" percentage of this show is really few.

After pointing out the hate-reasons, so I just realized something about this series from the first one. "How I Met Your Mother" is a series that tells you about friendship, love, and sacrifice, not about how Ted met his soulmate, a.k.a the mother of his kids. This is the only reason why I shouldn't hate the ending. And the fact that the whole 9 seasons always make me laugh, I know if that I want to see something legendary (read : HIMYM FINALE) happen, I must wait for it.

I haven't read 47 Ronin's novel by John Allyn yet, but I have listened the story about these courageus samurai from my brother. You don't have to read the novel first before watching 47 Ronin movie. ULTIMATELY DIFFERENT ! It's just an inspired movie not an adaption one.

Genre : Action, Adventure, Fantasy

Running Time : 119 min

a brief storyline

A group of samurai and of course an outcast, Kai (Keanu Reeves) join the leader, Oishi (Hiroyuki Sanada) to seek vengeance upon the new ruthless lord, Kira (Tadanobu Asano) who killed their lord, Asano (Min Tanaka).

a fair review

At first, I was afraid to watch this movie because I didn't understand at all the whole plotline of 47 Ronin. Fortunately, I brought my brother to tell me the main plot. It's REALLY different from the novel, but the main plot is still there, about the revenge of samurai.

I don't know why this movie include some unimportant additionals, like the power of witchcraft and an outcast. Although, I really am impressed by Keanu Reeves' acting as an outcast. Oh my, he is back. You can see countless close-ups of him. But, I feel Kai's character is made just for asking the audience for symphaty. I don't like it. I want him to be a hero from the beginning (in fact, he turns out to be a hero too in the end).

One thing that I enjoy so much is the sword-play action by all the samurai, including Kai's fighting. I also love how this movie brings out well Japanese culture of Shogun at that time. Japanese culture is always beautiful. I don't know why, I don't have many words to say about this movie. Maybe I get bored? Just a little.

a brief closure

The main topic of this movie is about revenge, sacrifice and death. I can smell all of that points in this movie. They have sacrificed so much and unfortunately the reward they get is just their death in an honour way. Sigh. Don't bother yourself to watch this movie unless you love Keanu Reeves.
