You can't have an accurate opinion on this matter because you have not seen any good Samurai fiction. And no, good heavens no, Ruroni Kenshin does not count as good Samurai fiction.
Here's a short list of what you need to watch:
-Seven Samurai (arguably the greatest film ever made, ever)
-Yojimbo
-any original Zatoichi movie (not the new one)
-Sword of Doom
-Samurai Assassin
-Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance
That's a good starter list. Just pick any two of those movies for now.
