samurai

magnificent samurai epic and one of the finest films ever made. not only a classic but an endlessly entertaining one. everyone MUST SEE this film; no excuses

excellent drama about a conflict between a shogun and his vassals. mifune is great as the convention bound samurai who takes a stand.

kurosawa's epic king lear with some of the most beautiful cinematography ever. saturated in amazing colors

like a mad tragic japanese prisoner of zenda. beautifully filmed and the final scenes are heartrending

my favorite jarmusch by a long shot. gangsters and samurai: too fucking cool

yes it's better than a fistful of dollars :D i just wish i'd seen it first! love the soundtrack too. kurosawa successfully sued leone for 15% of the worldwide gross and made more from the lawsuit than he did on this film apparently

i enjoyed this as much as yojimbo. it's a whole lot of fun. mifune is born to play comedy i think. such a ham but you can't take your eyes off him

outstanding! this tale of a psychotic samurai ends rather abruptly as it was meant to be pt. 1 of a trilogy. we can only imagine how that would have turned out but pt. 1 is pretty freakin fantastic. awesome performance by tatsuya nakadai, many incredible fight scenes; the sword is the soul! i wish i could give it more stars :((

kurosawa's macbeth has just the right atmosphere and mood. mifune is a bit hyperdramatic in the finale but his wife is dead creepy

the first in the series of lone wolf and cub, the story of a shogun's executioner forced to flee with his infant son after the murder of his wife. he takes work as a hired assassin, with baby cart in tow, until he can seek revenge. lots of fun, blood and child endangerment!

i mostly enjoyed it but what was up with the hoedown at the end? tres bizarre

this one is better than kitano's :) why don't they quit messin with him? he seems like a nice guy!

stylish and gory and i might have enjoyed it alot more if i'd never seen kill bill...so thx quentin, for ruining it for me :(

aka 'perambulator against the winds of death!' the third film in lone wolf and cub series is a bit weaker than the first two but it's almost made up for by the spectacular climax in which ogami itto defeats a whole army with his baby cart from a bond film

the saga of freelance assassin ogami itto and his young son daigoro continues in bloody style. in this episode, daigoro is kidnapped by ninjas and thrown from a burning ship! there's a clan of badass females, a guy with a freddy kruger hand and the final showdown in the sand is particularly thrilling. just as much fun as the first, with some touching scenes between father and son as well. i guess it's the woman in me that makes me wanna yell: hey, watch that kid! lol

the continuing adventures of crazy takezo, now an accomplished samurai. not quite as good as part 1 tho lovely to look at. all the women are after musashi but he prefers his sword :p

good film. see mifune defeat 50 swordsman using only a stick! ...is it just me or is he still playing the fool from seven samurai? pt 1 of a trilogy...so that's 3 i'm in the midst of lol. this one covers takezo's origin and the beginning of his training as a samurai
