A street urchin is adopted into royalty to become an unusual prince in the unusual circumstances of his day;
A bubblegum movie. Pretty and decently-engaging.

Inspired by the story of the forty-seven rōnin . If you don't know it, then don't look that up. I can't give a description without spoiling it. Consider yourself lucky to have a fresh mind.
This is a patient yet tense movie. I have next to no notes, because there's really nothing to write or even think about. Recommended, though not "highly recommended", as there are a lot of movies which execute this general manly-man theme extremely well. Though it's not among its number, anyone who likes the samurai genre should give this a watch.

A centuries-old man is embroiled in a sword-fight between other immortals.
This is one of those movies which forged my young self, but I cannot recommend to others. It definitely feels dated, and I doubt its ideas would be particularly shaping to others compared to the other movies created since this one.
In a sense, you could also see Unbreakable - (2000 movie).

The telling of the story of one Roman soldier's struggle for survival at the far front lines.
An excellent movie on all fronts. Highly recommended for fans of this genre.

Something about a sword that's a greenish, and some people who fight and think fighting is cool because of honour and all that.
I also think there's a Princess Leia/Luke Skywalker thing happening, but I was too distracted by the terrible mixing of accents.
Like superhero movies, this genre has completely worn out its welcome. I'm no longer interested in the same old shit, and even the attempts at story telling have become bland to me. Its scenery and music have become samey and aren't going to make up for the lack of captivating characters and a solid story. Overused wire-jumps are not exciting. And stop with that screeching sound when swords are un/sheathed.
Properly titled Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny
