What audiences thought of 47 Ronin

'47 Ronin' is set to lose $175 million after an incredibly weak opening in the US and Japan, making it one of the biggest flops of 2013. However, audience sentiment for the movie contradicted the film's critical panning.

In the run up to the film's release, '47 Ronin' was annihilated by reviewers worldwide. It failed to even get a solid 2 out of 10, but fans of the movie gave it an average of 7/10. Topping the box office in Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia, the film received praise from the fans, but on arrival at the domestic box office, it didn't gain more than $7 million on opening day.

The debate about '47 Ronin' continues, and over on Twitter, people have been letting their friends know what they thought about it, a majority of which, are positive:

Watched 47 ronin last night. The movie was not bad. I'm surprised that it's inspired by the actual 47 ronins.

47 Ronin is by far one of the most beautiful looking films I've ever seen, and despite what critics are saying, it didn't suck!

47 Ronin is an interesting movie. It was inspired in real life Japanese history.

If a film has magic and fighting in it, it's already a 6/10 for me. #47Ronin

47 Ronin looks like The Last Samurai if it was directed by Michael Bay.

I cried at the end of 47 ronin. Dammit. Curse my sensitivity to love.

I thought 47 Ronin was pretty good, not need for 3D, but good nonetheless...

— Tobori (@reelifetv) December 29, 2013

Honor, loyalty, courage, sincerity, benevolence, respect & justice are the code of the Samuri & #47Ronin does it effortlessly. Gets 4.5/5!

#47Ronin was not a good film..but I don't feel it was the horrible wretched trash many with what sound like personal agendas insist it is

— Darrell S A (@Magnum_Five0) December 29, 2013

47 Ronin was a fun modern sort of samurai movie. The CG wasn't the best, but I liked how they used it. It's nice to see Reeves again
