Goofs:
Shortly after he is released from the Dutch Island, Kai and Oishi are talking. The scene is apparently taking place in overcast or gloomy conditions but one shot of Kai talking shows his face brightly lit and his jaw casting a shadow on his neck, showing that this shot was taken in sunny conditions.

From the initial trailer I wasn't expecting much of this movie, I was
just excited to see a movie about Japanese history while Im living in
Chiba, Japan. I saw the movie today (it was released on December 6th,
in Japan) and it exceeded my expectations. My wife also liked it a lot,
and she's Japanese. Of course it was somewhat "whitewashed," but
actually I felt like Keaneau Reeves played more of a support role. The
Japanese hero, Oishi, played the lead role. The effects looked a little
suspect in the trailer, but they turned out great, and there was no
"Avatar" effect as others have suggested. Overall, loved it. Give it a
chance, enjoy it for what it is... a fantasy re-creation of a popular
Japanese historical event.
