Watch Emperor Movie Online No Survey Matthew Fox (WORLD WAR Z, I, ALEX CROSS, "Lost") joins with Academy Award (R) winner Tommy Lee Jones (LINCOLN, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, THE FUGITIVE, HOPE SPRINGS), newcomer Eriko Hatsune and award-winning Japanese star Toshiyuki Nishida (GET UP!, TSURIBAKA NISSHI 14, TSURIBAKA NISSHI 6, GAKKO, DUN-HUANG) to bring to life the American occupation of Japan in the perilous and unpredictable days just after Emperor Hirohito's World War II surrender. As General Douglas MacArthur (Jones) suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation, he assigns an expert in Japanese culture - and psychological warfare - General Bonner Fellers (Fox), to covertly investigate the looming question hanging over the country: should the Japanese Emperor, worshiped by his people but accused of war crimes, be punished or saved? Caught between the high-wire political intrigue of his urgent mission and his own impassioned search for the mysterious school teacher (Hatsune) who first drew him to Japan, Fellers can be certain only that the tricky subterfuge about to play out will forever change the history of two nations and his heart.

Review For Emperor
Just a dull procedural, with the bland Matthew Fox driving around in a jeep and asking questions and not having them answered. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger The epigrams fly, but the movie never really takes off. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer Director Webber and the screenwriters, David Klass and Vera Blasi ... largely [waste] Jones and some very nice period details. Lou Lumenick-New York Post The subject is intrinsically compelling, yet the central story is padded with an uninvolving love story that functions mostly as obvious symbolism about compassion for the enemy. Claudia Puig-USA Today Wrapping a history lesson in a romantic melodrama can make for a lively movie, but only if the love story is juicier than the educational narrative. Mark Jenkins-Washington Post Regrettably, "Emperor" does not match MacArthur's vigor, or mine his legacy. Instead, the movie is Fellers' tale and dryly told. Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times A decent history lesson--even if one told with a major dose of dramatic license--that's dragged down by a sappy, clumsily played romantic subplot. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion Powerful and brilliantly acted. Tommy Lee Jones is remarkable as General Douglas MacArthur in a side of World War II that has remained hidden. Pete Hammond-Movieline However turgid the storytelling, "Emperor" makes its historic points about a widely unknown 1945 wartime episode that played out in U.S occupied Japan after its surrender. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com It comes off as a fairly boring and on-the-nose experience that only history buffs might find intriguing and/or entertaining. (Complete Content Details for Parents also available) Jim Judy-Screen It! A modestly budgeted, respectfully executed post-WWII drama, the film is also entirely edgeless, and aside from a couple of swear words is ready to be shown in classrooms and on the History Channel in endless repeats. Kevin Jagernauth-The Playlist The mealy half-truth director Peter Webber...screenwriters Vera Blasi and David Klass settle for just winds up a waste of everyone's time. Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews Emperor, however, is so sophisticated in its ambitions, mature in its narrative, and expert in its execution that the film's failures are more honorable than fatal. Louis Black-Austin Chronicle It has an understated but still-relevant message that America may reveal its best self not in its moment of military victory, but in the moments that happen afterward. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) Romance is an unnecessary addition, but there's a lot more disappointment to come with this lackluster effort. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com Webber takes a simple, classical approach that makes Emperor feel as if it could have been a movie from the period in which it takes place. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media A major thread and a weak one, the proclaimed 'love story' is not fleshed out. Donald J. Levit-ReelTalk Movie Reviews Though "Emperor" is a mystery of which we already know the ending, director Peter Webber ("Girl with a Pearl Earring") keeps the story moving and interesting. Justin Craig-FoxNews.com A solid but unspectacular historical drama that sheds light on a little-known chapter of world history. John Hanlon-John Hanlon Reviews Never dawdles but rarely digs deep...set against the backdrop of impending war, when everything seems more vital and in-the-moment. Except for this sometimes plodding film. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine As intriguing as the words "Tommy Lee Jones as Gen. MacArthur" sound, the acting is rote and the story slack in a film that makes a vital historical moment feel irrelevant. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
