It is actually good. Keep an eye on the direction/shot composition.

Wonderful characters, wonderful story, beautiful shots. It's actually a great movie and I hate weebs.

but you will find it boring

entry tier, but still pretty good

it was made before 1990 and it's not an EBIN SCI-FI so of course it's a bad movie

No is good, its very good.

Stupid ripoff of A Bug's Life

Not really a "complex" film but absolutely essential viewing with more or less flawless filmmaking.

Tense and interesting for a 1954 film despite being so long.
1954 was truly annus mirabilis for Toho and Japanese cinema.

Don't watch it, please OP. Leave the great movies for the ones who care.

Reminder: If you hate anime you don't belong on 4chan

its very good but i swear it feels like the "general consensus" of kurosawas works (ranked by quality, etc) is just way off, and im not even trying to be a contrarian. im sorry, but its not his best movie, and it might not even be in his top 5.

the consensus on ozu has a lot of the same problems. but if you say these things, people start looking at you funny, like its sacrilege that you don't think the entry level "masterpieces" for entry level jap directors are necessarily their best or most interesting works. whatever.

/rant

tl;dr, watch it, but watch a lot of other shit too and draw your own conclusions.

Is it better than The Magnificent Seven?

Das bait

How? The Magnificent Seven (and some of its sequels) are pretty good, and I've never seen this. Respond like a human, please.
