I'm holding out on watching it because I just know I'll hate it. Instead I'll try to watch other stuff so I can get more appreciation for that type of film

if you like star wars watch the hidden fortress. ANH is basically a remake, but in space.

Why do you think you'd hate it?  I watched it without any introduction to Kurosawa or much foreign film experience at all, and I loved it.

It looks extremely cheesy. Personally I'm just not into samauri stuff. The acting seems to revolve around yelling out the lines as loud as possible

Many characters in it are dramatized, but only Mifune "yells out lines".

Dude, are you trying to make me hate you? Seven Samurai is an extremely fun, exciting film.  It's universally liked.  Go watch it.  NOW.

It was a pretty good movie. Not great, mind you, because a few glaring flaws, but pretty good. The acting in many cases is questionable, the fights aren't that good, but it was fun.

I was wondering why Katsushiro always stood in one place. The part where they give Manzo a lecture about not going apeshit because a samurai was dickin' her was pretty lame. He just stood there. Be a man you pussy.

Kikuyochi or whatever the fuck was a good character, but his acting was often annoyingly exaggerated in comparison to everyone else. I like him the most though. When he got offed I boo'd. That one guy who always. ALWAYS. ALWAYS has the fucking :o face mixed with  :-\ pissed me off. He seemed like he had downs or something. The direction and camera angles were pretty good, I guess. Excellent music.

Nothing left to say except it's a good movie. I definitely wouldn't pay 40-50 dollars for it though. That'd be grade a bullshit. When compared to other movies I've seen made in the same time period, it's pretty tame. Especially when compared to stuff like Singin' in the Rain.
