This looks great
Best two reviews:
1) - In the end, probably the best way to watch Emperor is to pretend that the Supreme Command of Allied Forces in Japan after World War II was Tommy Lee Jones. If you do that, the movie works surprisingly well. (Rating: 75) Read Full Review >
2) - As is the case with most of the elements in Emperor, the cliches are relatively few and spaced apart, and the tearjerking and profound moments are authentic and well-earned. (Rating: 75) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
31) - Peter Webber's historical drama is blunt about its stylistic ambitions while at the same time failing to meet them, and the effect is one of sad ineffectuality. (Rating: 25) Read Full Review >
32) - There's really nothing definitive about Emperor. Or memorable, for that matter. (Rating: 20) Read Full Review >
