Excellent quality, preservation of a great treasure of the filmic art.

My family group were very satisfied with Seven Samurai - most of us had seen it before but a long time ago, we all enjoyed it even the younger members of the group who did not know what to expect.
I was delighted to be able to purchase this movie in Blu-ray format with high quality image and sound, as previously it was viewed on 35 ml celluloid which gave a very different effect.
It will become a family treasure, as other members will look forward to viewing it.

Major letdown!

Why, Amazon? Why did you send me a movie that wouldn’t play?! I had the whole family gathered round the TV, anticipating a masterpiece, then - nothing. I guess it was naïve of me to expect a movie bought from Amazon.com.au to be set to the right region.

Simply one of the greatest film ever made...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2019

... it states on the case and in my opinion you get what it says on the case!
The film is as old as I am!! I have seen a number of versions over the years, the major difference being the length of the film. The original is very long as it spends a great amount of footage on the first Samurai's funeral. This Blu-Ray version, at 207 minutes, is probably the longest anyone will now see on disk. Whether the original film and the full footage still exists I do not know.
When you realise that the greatest western "The Magnificent Seven" is based on this film, and other westerns and the StarWars trilogy are based on other Kurosawa films, you have to see them all to enjoy the artistry of this director.
"The Seven Samurai" is the pinnacle of Kurosawa's work

This movie is so good I can't put into words. I have wanted to see thins since hearing about it and now I own the blu ray I an gobsmacked how good this is!!!!!
The movie running time is JUST under 3 and a half hours, it comes with several special features and a book inside the case. The quality, even in B&W, is flawless and sounds just as good as the immaculate picture quality.
About a dozen or more movies are either based on this or have inspired the writer / director to make a movie which includes Star Wars and the Magnificent 7.
If you love movies like I do or want to watch a classic that inspired a generation of other movies or ant to forget about the trouble in the world at the moment (Covid 19 or Coronavirus) then you must buy this movie. It is a classic that HAS to be seen to be belied hoe amazing it actually is!!!!

黒澤珠玉の一本。

Reviewed in Japan on 30 June 2022

黒澤明は生涯に30本の監督作品を残している、私はその内の半分程度(羅生門以降の作品の殆ど)を視聴しいるがその中でも至高の作品がこの「七人の侍」だ。
誤解を恐れずに言うと「七人の侍」に黒澤映画の魅力の全てが集約されている、もちろん他にも面白い作品、好きな作品はあるし「椿三十郎」や「赤ひげ」はお薦めしたいが本作を凌ぐ感動や興奮があったのかと問われれば答えはNOだ、本作が突出している。

3時間27分にも及ぶ長編映画だが年に一度は見返している、無性に菊千代を始めとする侍たちに会いたくなるからだ、私はもう何度も観ているのでオリジナル音声だけで充分だが初見の方は必ず字幕を出した方がいい、音声がとにかく聞き取り辛いので字幕が無いと変に神経を使ったり意味が解らず面白さが半減してしまう、ここが本作の唯一の欠点だろう。

音の問題さへ除けばBlu-ray画質は充分良いしフィルムの傷やノイズも丁寧に除去されている、昔映画館で傷だらけのフィルムを見せられた経験からするとこの高画質を独り占め出来るのだから良い時代になったものだ。
こうしてレビューを書いているとまた侍たちに会いたくなって来た、今宵は菊千代と一緒に酒を酌み交わすとするか。

This film is a must have and no collection is complete without it. Famously recreated by Hollywood as The Magnificent Seven, this Japanese original still stands head and shoulders above any other remake or interpretation. There are no modern superhuman skills displayed here (as is usual in modern martial arts films eg flying fight scenes, as in Crouching Tiger or swordsmen moving at lighting speed, as in Hero). The seven samurai in this film are experienced fighters who are hired in an attempt to defend a peasant village against marauding bandits. The fighting skills displayed are, like the fight scenes, realistic and the final confrontation, which takes place during a torrential downpour, is mind boggling.
This is a black and white film, in Japanese with English subtitles. The quality isn't particularly brilliant but this has to be expected considering it was made in 1954. But don't be put off by any of this - you will be drawn into it and, like any great film, you will want more, even though it is 190 minutes in length. Do not expect blood spurting everywhere with guts hanging out and limbs being lopped off wherever possible - great character building, amusing incidents that will make you smile, shocking and sad moments, excellent fight scenes and realism are the order of the day. Watch out for Toshiro Mifune turning up to enlist - I laughed out loud (and still laugh whenever I remember it)
I suggest you watch this as a late night movie - it's great!

I remember watching this on BBC in the early 1960s I must have been about 11 years old ! I was impressed with it then ,thought about it over the years and after reading the reviews I decided to get it on Blue Ray . The verdict ? It's better than I remember and at the age of 69 I can appreciate it better.It is a remarkable film ,it should be on everyones "To Watch List". Definitely one of the best films of all time !
