Man has a point........  One that cannot even be argued.

PLEASE this is a remake of the old japanese film The Seven Samurai! and that was MUCH better

So, here is the thing......

There are 27 themes for a movie................  Every movie takes 1, or several of these 27 themes and makes a movie.  If you've seen 27 movies, you've seen them all!
See Rule #4

I wasn't saying that it was better than the 7 Samurai, just that it was a good remake.  I prefer Samurai films to westerns usually.  

Fistful of dollars is a remake of Yojimbo too, and it's a great movie, with Clint Eastwood even, but I still like Yojimbo better.

I once read that there are really only two stories: A man goes on a journey, and, a stranger comes to town.
