Akira Kurosawa's acclaimed epic demonstrates his keen eye for cool visuals and staging solid action scenes. It's too bad I don't really care about the characters that much. Toshiro Mifune is kind of cool as the samurai warrior safeguarding the princess (who's a real brat by the way). But the true stars of the movie are these greedy peasants who are more annoying than funny. Reportedly George Lucas was inspired by this movie to make Star Wars. That's the more entertaining version of this story by a long shot.
