I dont disagree kurosawa is a great director, I love RAN. I just think with magnificent seven and fistful of dollars other directors improved improved upon his work, and with magnificent seven added 'humanity' for want of a better word, to the filmmaking.

Controversial I suppose but I much prefer Kinji Fukasaku, ishiro honda and a lot of the 'b' directors of material like lone wolf and cub, the streetfighter movies, lady snowblood, most of sonny chibas output to kurosawa.

I saw Magnificent Seven before Samurai, but I still think Seven Samurai is superior in every facet. Magnificent Seven is a little bit of a misnomer, it should be called Pretty Good Seven.

I'm aware i'm in the minority, its just Kurosawa is one of those directors I always felt liked i'm supposed to like because academics tell me, when I watch his stuff its good but it dosent really inspire or entertain. I can sit through most of his stuff, (aside from ikiru which is sentimental self induldgent shite) but mostly i'd rather be watching godzilla, lone wolf and cub, karate warriors or battle without honour or humanity. Its all personal taste at the end of the day.
