    The final thought of the samurai leader will stick with you until the credits start rolling: "The villagers have one, not us." The importance of community through thick and thin is the biggest take away. Seeing the journey of the seven samurai to accomplish one goal helps you to remember how hard one's journey can be. The victory may not be what you were expecting.

  • Rating: 0.5 out of 5 stars
    A slow meandering feature film that drags nearly 4 hours of too much talking and not enough sword fighting.
  • Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
    A truly remarkable film. I can see why it inspired so many imitations and re-interpretations.
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    Epic film. Phenomenal cinematography and story telling, especially given that it was done in 1954 -- 70+ years ago.

    If you are wondering if there is a good reason for this movie to be more than 3 hours long, let me tell you: YES. There is almost no wasted time. It is a great movie, very interesting plot and the characters are great. Fantastic! even if you are not a fan of samurai stories.

    Widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential movies ever made, Seven Samurai is not only a testament to the brilliance of the late great Akira Kurosawa, but a massive showcase in enthralling storytelling, terrific action, structural mastery and faceted characterizations.

    Unmistakable classic
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    The epitome of cinema. This classic epic has everything; suspense, dispair, humour, remorse, hope, triumph, and enough action scenes to keep the deep running plot moving. Not an easy accomplishment for a nearly 4 hour movie, even more impressive to have done it so expertly.

    Seven samurai isn’t peak fiction it’s not cinema in my eyes. It is probably the greatest story ever told in mankind. It’s crazy how they done all of this in a three hour and 26 minute movie Which only came out in 1954 and seeing what Japan has been made of with Godzilla minus one with only being a budget to like 10 to 15,000,000 comparing to movies in the US that budgets are a bunch of money when I mean that’s like 90 to 200 Million for Hollywood Put these Hollywood movies with a crazy amount of money for its budget or just completely waste of money. They don’t do good but for Japan for 10 to 15,000,000 budget movie Godzilla minus one managed to bomb in the box office in a good way it just shows that Japan isn’t Messing around The effect on these Japanese movies really shows that Japan has been getting higher and higher in the marketing campaign them better than America back to seven samurai with great special-effects. great story, emotional scenes amazing character all in one movie, not even a Trilogy All the stuff I just named is just in one movie either way it’s a great watch. Definitely recommended.
