“not only a great film in its own right, but the source of a genre that would flow through the rest of the century.”
Aroview: Kurosawa's classic 'Eastern Western' about a village who hire an elite band of warriors to fend off marauders. Compassionate storytelling with combat sequences that have rarely been matched by modern cinema.

4 stars (Very Good) didn't check the running time before I started, & had to have a nap in the middle. Languid, methodical storytelling. ~Truant
5 stars (Exceptional) A complete masterpiece, despite the long running time it never lags, despite the large amount of characters they're all likeable and unique, a perfectly crafted story of epic scale that deserves it's spot in the greatest films of all time ~Bruno
2 stars (Good Try) Rather a lot of fighting in a fantasy world! ~Sandy
