Negative Positive
Title: Great on Every Level
Review: This movie is a classic tale. It works on every level, Characters, Plot, Settings, Storyline, the works. OK you may not understand the culture of Japan, so parts of the samurai culture may not be clearly understood. (see the MAGNIFICANT SEVEN if this is an insurmountable problem.) The movie is long and is not the non stop action sold these days. It is not meant to be. Each step is a struggle, the coming of the bandits, the decision of the villegers, the search for samurai, the interaction between them and the villagers, and that doesn't cover all of the plots involved. If you like well plotted stories this movie is for you. If you like interesting characters this movie is for you. If you like great performances then this movie is DEFINATELY for you. Give this picture a chance some rainey weekend and it will be a pleasant and memorable eyeful.
