This is a 1954, three and a half hour, Japanese movie. To the average cinema goer this is not what you're looking for. But who am I to not give this masterpiece a 10. If you put in the time you will find yourself experiencing one of the most epic and awesome movies to ever grace the screen. I found myself completely captivated and invested in this story and felt a true sense of adventure. I hadn't felt like this since I was a kid watching Star Wars or a teen watching The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Akira Kurosawa made the perfect samurai movie and it's a must watch for any fan of film. So, find a comfy couch, put your phone down, put in the time, and you will not be disappointed.
