I actually saw the sneak preview over the weekend as well and myself, my wife and two friends absolutly loved it. Between Kill Bill and The Last Samurai, i've found my favorite movies of the year. ROTK may take the title but I wasn't thrilled with The Two Towers until i saw the Extended Edition, so it may be the same with ROTK.
As for The Last Samurai, the language barrier is treated very logically and works well. There are subtitles. The battle sequences and fights are very intense, and got my heart pounding. This is a must see movie and although i don't think Cruise will win any awards, The Last Samurai should at least be in the running for Best Picture.
