The greatest movie filmed in black-and-white!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A slow meandering feature film that drags nearly 4 hours of too much talking and not enough sword fighting.

A truly remarkable film. I can see why it inspired so many imitations and re-interpretations.

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

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.

فيلم عظيم وخالد وأقول بأمكاننا أن نستلهم منه الحكمة والعبرة

I like long movies, but this was one of the few where I felt exhausted throughout. However, the direction and acting are so compelling that you cannot help but to feel inspired by its efforts.

Holds up surprisingly well!

The more I think about, the more I realize that this movie is perfect.

Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece. He influent many of action movies just by this. The cinematography, the action, and the acting was just great. Truly masterpiece!

A true classic, amazing

This is the greatest movie ever made.

One of several Great Samurai films. Funny Kurosawa went over budget several times. Was supposed to be 6 samurai but it looked boring so they added mifune's character as comic relief letting him runaway with improv overacting lol. One of the 1st movie to use telephoto lens. American westerns copied this to make the magnificent 7. Pixar for bugs life. Also a space movie, battle beyond the stars, the mandalorian s.1 ep4, Seven warriors, 7 swords, China gate. The hidden fortress is also great ( basis for star war new hope). Yojimbi and sanjuro remade into Eastwood spaghetti westerns. I still prefer Lone wolf n cub series cuz of the ninjas. Also the miyamoto musashi trilogy. Shadow hunters and demon spies (more Shinobi).

THE BEST SAMURAI FILM/MOVIE EVER MADE AFTER HARAKIRI WHICH IS THE BEST IN MY OPINION

An absolute legend. 3 1/2 hours but they go fast. A chance to see this on a big screen is not to be missed.

The greatest Japanese film in history! Today I concluded my viewing of some of the greatest works of Japanese cinema, and I concluded by re-watching this masterpiece by Akira Kurosawa, which I consider to be the greatest Japanese work, the greatest samurai film in history, and the best Kurosawa film. I watched this film last year and it was a wonderful experience, but after re-watching and enjoying the film, I felt its greatness and beauty, and I must have I pay tribute to the role of the legend Toshiro Mifune as Kikuchio, in which he embodied a fun but sad character and gave us the most beautiful sacrifices at the end of the film. In fact, all the acting crew excelled in their roles and each character had its own aesthetics. The film was a mixture of war, battles, poverty, wisdom, planning, romance, courage and comedy, which Toshiro Mifune created. In general, the movie was legendary and one of the best movies in history, and the closing scene was perfect and what a great masterpiece
