Audience Member I have seen Toshiro Mifune in many amazing Kurosawa movies, so expectations were already very high when I started watching the first Samurai movie. The trilogy has captured the evolution of a Samurai and a human being brilliantly. Adored this trilogy. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
