Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

A poor village under attack by bandits recruits seven unemployed samurai to help them defend themselves. Seven Samurai is perhaps another one big colossal overrated film that has a rating that doesn't deliver at neither of it's true potentials since it's very slow, very dumb and it's almost like 3 and a half hours long i mean common? Is this what a film needs to become a classic? To be 5 hours long and have people talking to each other? Cause that is not Art it's the different face of art it's called abomination against humanity and this movie is that. (0/10)

Though, Seven Samurai is overlong, it is a true masterpiece and accomplishment in filmmaking. Akira Kurosawa is a unique director and has a wondrous vision.Seven Samurai's first two hours is melodramatic. It features a tale of powerless villagers, whom are in shortage of food, and defenceless against a heavily armed gang of mischievous bandits. In order to restore their sanctuary and stow off the bandits, seven samurai warriors are formed and trained up in the tactics of field combat, to fight of the bandits.These pleasing two hours are live up to their fulfilment and the characters are introduced and developed, splendidly. There is enough to please movie-goers, here, and fans of old, classic movies will find Seven Samurai satisfactory. It kick started the Hollywood western, The Magnificent Seven, which is, too, a classic. There is no closure to pleasing samurai fans, and the Japanese audience, in particular, will find that there is nothing displeasing, here. The Fantastically written script of melodramatic elements, in its first two hours, leads, promisingly, to an hour and a half of spectacular stunt takes and field combat sequences. The Seven Samurai themselves are to be made noteworthy of this, for they are the show-stealers and stars of the show. This will meet fan's satisfactory, as the combat sequences are filmed so well, and the performances are nothing short of mesmerising.This spectacular movie is a classic and achievable in many ways, leaving generations of fans and Akira Kurosawa fans, alike, to a legacy of magnificent art.

The Seven Samurai is the most important work in the history of Japanese cinema and was voted No. 1 in the history by the "Newspaper of the Year". Akira Kurosawa fighting scenes are very exciting and realistic pats, Gunma rushed, muddy battles even battle, in the fast splicing, long focal length newspaper and the use of slow motion mirror, all the images come together, exciting, not only change The tradition of Japanese martial arts films, but also for many martial arts films have a profound impact.

One year at Grossmont College, they had a year of Akira Kurosawa movies.I watched them all. At the end, I could understand Japanese. I also understood what a great writer & director he is. The Magnificent 7 is a cheap ripoff of this classic, & yet, it is still almost as powerful as 7 Samurai, I'd give it a 9.I have to say I wept bitterly when Akira died in 1998.Only one film of his I didn't like, "Ran". It's because it's based on the one Shakespeare play I didn't like. King Lear.
