Ever heard of the Emperor's new clothes? Everyone praising; no one able to admit the truth? This is the fifth Kurosawa film I have seen, and once again, it disappoints on a monumental level. Boring story, Slow pacing, mediocre acting, and yes I'll say it: poor directing. Listening to endless dialoge exposition and then watching action scenes consisting of characters running around like the Keystone Cops just isn't an artistic contribution to the hallmark of great film. I really wonder if others would continue to say they like this film if no one was watching them. I enjoy foreign films and watch a few dozen every year, but I will never, EVER waste another minute of my life watching a Kurosawa film. Don't be duped -- Avoid!
