adonis98-743-186503 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)

jerobalalva The first time I viewed Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai I was overwhelmed. It took me a day and reading some reviews about the movie, when I finally realized what I'd missed and boy I missed allot. This film is truly a film to take note if you want to be a director, from the production design, to the amazing action sequences, cámara movement, transitions, script, and lighting, THE LIGHTING. This film feels very short thanks to the amazing editing, considering it is 3 1/2 hours long! Mifune's character arc is very sad and inspiring. And the ending is a very controversial, disputive and sad. Fantastic movie don't miss it if you love film, and certainly plan your day.

DonAlberto Seven Samurai is one of those few films that smells like true cinema. You catch a whiff of it and you straight away find out that you're on the right track. Even people who for some incomprehensible reason don't understand what the power of cinema is, feel draw to these film or its Hollywood sequel, The Magnificent seven. In short, a movie that that is worth paying many to watch. Akira Kurosawa is its director. Admirer of John Ford's films, The Seven Samurai clearly reflects that influence. You can see in the sense of adventure that's ever present through the film. The story is set in Japan, in the era of Samurai, long time ago. A group of poor and ragged peasants live in a village that is often raid by bandits. As the situations is unlikely to improve, the decide to hire some samurais…And that's how the story begin. On the side, we have violence, love, betrayal and all the stuff you'd expect to find in one of the best films ever. If you don fall in love with cinema after watching this film, I reckon you'll never will.
