"47 Ronin" is one of those movies that takes a real historical event and tries to up the ante by throwing in some fictional elements and more impressive action sequences. Much like other movies that did this sort of thing before, like Zack Snyder's "300", this movie also has a lot of visual thrills and handles the historical aspects of the story very well. Sadly, unlike other movies of it's kind, most of the fictional elements of the movie don't contribute much to the overall experience, making them feel a bit unnecessary at times.
