Just watched 7 Samurai for he first time yesterday. I must say I was completely underwhelmed. It had its entertaining moments. But everyone that hypes this flick always seem to forget to mention that its a 3 and 1/2 hour beating.
Okay, okay. I have already read about how this movie has been so influential and is credited with being the first to use several plot devices. However, most of the movie seems to be a couple of the samurai standing around making not-that-funny jokes while the peasants put on there best "agony" face.
Also, the only good fight scene was the first one. Where Kyuzo beats the other samurai. After that, it seemed like a lot of machete hacking.
I apply the words of Peter Griffin here........
