A good followup to Yojimbo, with some well-done action sequences. Though the basic conceit is the same- the protagonist attempts to foil a veritable army through trickery and judicious use of the blade- it's once again used to good effect.

"The relative linearity of the film can't help but come as something of a disappointment after the feast of Yojimbo." - Rob Humanick

The last twenty minutes are a masterful mix of comedy, action, drama, and suspense all tied together with a simple message of beauty, respect, and restraint. The acting is great as is the direction (duh), and the movie flows along quite nicely; making for an easy watch. P.S: That villain had some freakin' high blood pressure, holy shit.

Very enjoyable. Loved watching Sanjuro outwit the greater army, and lead the young greenhorns to victory. Better than Yojimbo, as Sanjuro's cunning here extends beyond the "join one side and lie to them, then rejoin the other" strategy that made the previous film a bit repetitive.

An incredibly enjoyable film, the story is so tight and so wonderfully paced, it's easy to get lost in it. Mifune is incredible(as always) with a great supporting cast. It may not have the same action and excitement as Yojimbo, but it's certainly not far behind in terms of how much fun it is to watch.

Has a very Throne of Blood esque ending which was surprising and very cool and of course memorable. It's basically just Yojimbo lite so if you enjoyed that film you will enjoy this. Mifune is once again a badass.

Sanjuro made the mistake of falling into a predictable formula. The men around Sanjuro have a solution to a problem, Sanjuro cooly and disinterestedly intervenes and suggests a much more clever course of action, everything works out, repeat. This saps all of the magic out of the film. Yojimbo had that magic. Sanjuro is just an unworthy sequel.

Not terribly bad or anything, just really uninvolving and boring. I seem to be unable to get into most of Kurosawa's films -and I fail to discern the reason they are so lauded most of the times too. Oh, well. At least Mifune was great.
