Three-and-a-half hour long epic and not a wasted scene throughout.
There are some movies that are taught in film school and that you've heard from snobs to be the greatest ever. The former are usually films that contain aspects to further a lesson. The latter can be pretentious to the point of alienating the audience. Then there's a film like Seven Samurai.
It's technically and artistically perfect. The characters are developed, the plot thickens and propels the story forward and the action is both thrilling to watch and integral.
There's a reason that it's been remade and reimagined in so many different ways. Go see it, I can't imagine a person who wouldn't like it.
