I think this is the most I have ever enjoyed an Akira Kurosawa movie. Not to put him down because I do enjoy his work (espeically for its time) but his movies, as I've said, seem to drag. This one didn't and I also liked Toshiro Mifune who played Yojimbo. I wasn't a huge fan of his from The Seven Samurai when he acted all stupid and crazy. I'm looking forward to watching Sanjuro.
