Negative Positive
Title: Might have been profound for it's time but...
Review: When I pay almost 30. for a DVD I expect alot, especially from a criterion edition. Seven Samurai does not reflect truly what a DVD is all about...which is high quality video, great sound and unique whistles and bells that are added value. True, an older movie can be discribed as a profound auteur venture for it's time, but for the quality of sound, picture and aspect ratio...I in retrospect would have been just as happy with a video and would have not worried about the video commentaries. My advice...go rent the video before deciding to purchase this one. If you're dying to see it again and again after that, (which I doubt) pick up the DVD. Sorry, in my book...if I'm not going to watch it more than 3x why pay the convenience for a classic when it has the screen resolution of a Disney flip-book?
Is the review positive or negative?
