What do you think?
Was Magnificent 7 better or equal to The Seven Samurai?
How about Yojimbo and Sanjuro compared to Fistfull of Dollars and A Few Dollars More?
Personally, I've to say with specific movies I like one or the other better. I preferreded the storytelling in Seven Samurai to Magnificent Seven, but I liked Fistfull of Dollars betters than Yojimbo.

I think Kurosawa is overrated.
Not that his movies aren't good, but some people put him at godlike status.ttt

Clearly I don't view him as among the best, so I don't get your question. Originally Posted by Kanaric

I must say I was astonished when I saw The Seven Samurai. I didnt expect such a good and entertaining movie (not even the primitive means of filmmaking disturbed). So I go for the Japanese

Re: Westerns vs. The Japanese 'Samurai' Counterparts
I disagree with you on this one, to me, Seven Samurai will always be superior to Magnificent Seven. I am heavily biased however, since I am a Japanese history buff and I am going to college for Japanese culture studies and history. Originally Posted by Juno
