Shoulda been called the Magnificent 7/10

Solid but could have been better. As a massive fan of the original movie I have to say this one did not quite live up to expectations. I am particularly dissapointed in director Antoine Fuqua. This has not been his finest hour. I realize an assembly movie is hard to do because basically 2/3 of the movie consists of the assembly of the team which does not help to drive a plot, but there have been movies where that has been done far better and by less accomplished directors. Avengers did it quite well for example. Here the pacing was off. After establishing the premise in the beginning it loses a lot of steam while collecting the 6 other main characters. That being said the epic gun fight in the end makes up for a lot if not all of it. Still the fact that the movie stumbles in the middle part is somewhat surprising even more so because it was actually done well in 1960. I give it a solid 7/10.

WOW - a western in this millennium, and a good one, too. I found the action in this movie riveting. The magnificent seven were well chosen and brought a variety of flavour that made this a great meal. Good story, good acting, good action. I thought this movie was thoroughly enjoyable. I give it a 9 (superb) out of 10.

Yes lets make a remake with more diversity so that everyone is happy and its political correct. Drab and stupid.

Nothing like the original , but it was entertaining. the cast was interesting I have great respect for their individual body of work so seeing them in this remake was enjoyable. No one can ever replace Brenner, McQueen, Bronson and Co. #ShiftvW8

Those who liked this version are surely too young to have seen the one from 1960. For my part I still prefer, by far, the original. With actors who had charisma. Unfortunately, all dead today.

Here’s another one worthy of a half star I would give this 6 1/2. It’s not as good as the original but I didn’t really care for the original either. Denzel did the best he could I felt the script was weak and didn’t build enough relationships between any of the characters. It’s decent enough for a modern western to give it a watch, I still would like to know why Vincent D’Onofrio’s character talked with that strange voice.

Nice entertainment with good acting, nothing more nothing less

Good photography, but too many cowboy stereotypes, during the campfire nobody was talking? Some joke, anywa, the village houses too clean, is a movie for a family Sunday only.

Reassuringly old fashioned western, this may not be magnificent but it is an enjoyable remake of the 1960 original.
