I was surprised how long this film was haha I must admit I found it good in places yet abit dull in others. There is much talking and planning before the actual showdown which is obviously needed but I found it slowed the whole thing down in places to be honest but the whole Japa...( read more)

One of the greatest films ever made. It's not my favourite Kurosawa film though! It annoys me that this film still hasn't received the credit it deserves, it really is a pivotal moment in the history of cinema. This is film at it's very best!

The greatest of all action adventure films ever...pioneering in film technique, epic in scale, and intimate in detail. VASTLY superior to the shallow remake The Magnificent Seven. I've seen Seven Samurai at least 30 times, and the 3 1/2 hour length seems like it gets shorter with...( read more)

This film is, without a doubt, an epic classic if there ever was one. The performances are spectacular, especially from the always relaible scene stealer Toshiro Mifune. I loved that, even though this film was long, there was a lot to it besides fighting and battles. In fact, fig...( read more)

March 5, 2007Toshiro Mifune is always amazing, but in this movie he is definitely out of this world. How many other japanese actors can handle to portray Kikuchiyo with so much power as Mifune does?
I'm impresed by the way he was so explosive with the changes of mood of this character. It is like an opera singer like Bjoerling moving from chest, to middle, and to head voice, making it look so easy...just so unbelievably efficient.
I love Toshiro.
