I have to agree with Aneic. This film had some very interesting shots compositionally and the story was quite original for its day, but I found its length completely unjustifiable for its content. I was, quite frankly, a bit bored.

Not the best thing ever, but an achievement in film-making. Much like Citizen Kane is an important but not exactly riveting film, I feel Seven Samurai suffers the same fate.

I'm going to forever risk the scorn of many movie buffs and suggest that this film, while excellent, isn't actually the best thing ever.

Personally I prefer Ran,but this is easily in my top 50 Kurowsawa is one of the all time greats.

Maybe I meant the last twenty minutes. The film is so long it's hard to tell what happened when, but my point was the film was built up so well that the end was anti-climactic, which doesn't mean the end was bad at all, but what came before it was excellent.

Was that supposed to be sarcastic? If anything, the last 45 minutes ramp up the momentum, as they constitute some of the greatest action sequences ever filmed.

Epic, epicer, epicest, Seven Samurai

It was very good up until the last 45 minutes, where it lost a lot a momentum. Still very good film.
