Movie Review ~ Seven Samurai (1954)

It seemed to take forever to find this movie online but I finally did. It has subtitles which is good but subtitles are difficult to read when you are watching an action scene. Of course, who cares about the words when it is an action scene?

This is the story of a village that was being attacked by a powerful gang of bandits. The villagers recruited seven samurai who were down on their luck to teach them to fight and help them defend against the bandits. Apparently the movie ends with a fantastic fight scene but, sadly for me, the streamed video ended abruptly before that point.

What I did see of the movie was very interesting, humourous in a very comic book sort of way, and I haven't given up on finding a more complete video online.

Apparently this movie has been remade at least a couple of times.
