Ew. That movie was just an unnecessary retread of 7 Samurai. Obviously that was intentional, but it doesn't make it any less of a boring retread. And it was just as overly long and dull as 7 Samurai to boot. It didn't even update the outdated 50's acting. People can go on about Kurosawa all they want to, but Japanese acting in the 50's was quasi-painful.
So yeah, 13 Assassins was too busy reveling in nerdy, Kurosawa fanboysim to do anything worth watching.
