siobhanOne of those where you finish it and kinda just sit there in disbelief that this is a movie that exists. Sheesh, what a monster.

The astonishing thing about Seven Samurai is that it seems far too modern for a film made sixty years ago. As much as I love black-and-white films, it is hard to deny that some films, no matter how good they are, begin to seem antiquated when compared with modern films in…
RidaJun 15, 2018“This baby is me, this is what happened to me.” violence is endless and the repercussions eternal, the flames rage on as the innocents die. however, what Kurosawa also realises is that violence is the coolest thing that you can ever capture on celluloid. that central…

Max Dubner lovedSeven SamuraiSaving a town with your buds is the new sex
StArs likedSeven SamuraiAt first, the film seemed rather trivial to me. And that’s not surprising I suppose, because it was roughly 70 years after its first appearance in the moment when I was writing this comment. But it is just an illusion in the beginning... The real movie, in my opinion, started when villagers met…
Sabrina Bondi likedSeven SamuraiSeven Samurai is long; it is brutal; it is not always easy to follow. But it is magnificent. This sturdy tale of action pictures the Japan of centuries ago in one exquisite shot after another.

One of the hardest to rate. Definitely the best Japanese and Kurosawa film ever made. Everything is amazing. Hard to find flaws, maybe the first hour and a half felt a bit dragged, but that might be because the rest was near perfect. Will probably change to love later.

Metacritic
On that simple framework and familiar story line, director Kurosawa has plastered a wealth of rich detail, which brilliantly illuminates his characters and the kind of action in which they are involved. He has loaded his film with unusual and exciting physical incidents and made the whole thing graphic in a hard, realistic western style.
Bosley Crowther
The New York Times
The glorious vigour and strength of this film is presented with such theatrical relish and flair: its energy flashes out of the screen like a sword.
Peter Bradshaw
The Guardian
Rich in detail, vivid in characterization, leisurely in exposition, this 207-minute epic is bravura filmmaking -- a brilliant yet facile synthesis of Hollywood pictorialism, Soviet montage, and Japanese theatricality that could be a B western transposed to Mars.
