cinematographers were dead on the mark of capturing the action. every element of life is represented here and the ending is is as good as the beginning! There are western movies and then there are western movies that you don't forget, this one of them. So my conclusion to this piece of work is 10/10, and gets no better than that for me!!

John Sturges. Believe me, this one's really good. If you stopped watching westerns, this remake will bring you back in. Who said remakes are bad? Not every remake though.

show this movie for the youngster's that don't know about such things.

considered spoiling the movie . Therefore the story isn't what makes this movie and if you're looking for a great story, the movie might not be for you.What the movie does have first of all is a great cast that delivers. Denzel Washington gives the best performance of the movie by far but also Chris Pratt shows that Guardians wasn't a fluke, Hawke, D'Onofrio and just the entire cast works very well together for this nice team of 7 misfits that has to save the town.Also the action is great, it's very true to the old westerns. There are some very tense stand-offs and when the shooting starts, the action is fantastically shot, directed and just well executed.And the movie has a good sense of humor, there are good comedic moments that give good levity to the movie.Because the movie actually is pretty towards an R-rated movie, it has some harsh and brutal things happening that might not be for kids. It's one of the most mature PG-13 movies I have seen.All in all, the Magnificent Seven is a fun time in the theater, probably not as good as the original but better than most remakes these days looking at you Ghostbusters and I give it an 8.5/10

casts!Chris Pratt is superb too. He brings the cheerful ambiance into this movie. His lines and jokes fit him well.Well, one character that's not built right is Red Harvest. He lack of background story, make his character felt blunt, no attachment with the others or with audiences.But overall, this is a very good movie. It brings me smile, and excitement. Cowboys fight is always good to watch, but never this good.I personally love it! And will consider to re-watch it again in later time.

exaggeration, I'm okay with that. My guess is any late 1800's cowboy who came up against a Gatling Gun and survived would probably also heavily exaggerate the story when telling it. The other issue I keep hearing is that some of the seven join up for almost no reason. They just "join up". Okay, again, true. But I challenge you to watch the 1960's version again. If you are truly honest with that film at least 3 members of that seven join up because they have "nothing better to do". I actually think the idea of a bounty hunter rounding up guys who have a bounty on them kinda makes sense. Both the town and the team are way more culturally diverse than ever would have happened in the late 1800's. But did you really think Hollywood could make a movie in which all the bad guys are Mexicans and all the heroes are white guys like in the 1960's version? Okay Charles Bronson's character was HALF-Mexican. This version is very entertaining. It's a fun escape. It's an action movie which isn't another damned superhero movie. The female lead is phenomenal. Denzel is Denzel-ishly great. Chris Pratt is both entertaining and a solid second-in-command. The other characters fill in the blanks nicely. The strangely culturally diverse town participates in their own salvation. The action scenes are well done, if not completely realistic. It's a re-imagined version that pays tribute in many places to both the original and the 1960's remake. Go see the movie and have fun like I did. And if you are one of those people that needs complete realism. Then sit at home and think about how boring complete realism would be.

surprising amount of "heart" throughout it all the way to the end. Here is the bottom line: Yes, this movie is worth your hard earned money to go see in the theater.

the wild climactic showdown that demonstrates minimal CGI does not equal minimal fun. Amongst all the balletic gunplay and macho posturing there's a relatively simple story: town is overrun by a dastardly villain Peter Sarsgaard oozing creepiness , town employs cowboys-for-hire guess how many for protection, town fights with said cowboys leading the way. That the plot requires little more explanation then that highlights the focus of the movie, for better and for worse, however the fact it never feels shallow or superficial can be attributed to the exhilarating action and the ultra-cool cast. And what a fantastic cast it is. Denzel Washington is reliably charismatic as the contemplative leader, Chris Pratt is magnetic as the group's joker, Ethan Hawke is intense as the tormented sniper, Byung-hun Lee is enigmatic as the blade-wielding assassin, Vincent D'Onofrio is intriguing as the philosophical killer and Haley Bennett is fierce as the townswoman who stands her ground. Best of all, the eclectic characters – also including Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as the rowdy Mexican and Martin Sensmeier as the Indian warrior – share a wonderful chemistry that makes them utterly watchable from start to finish. An energetic remake with style to spare, The Magnificent Seven is a rip-roaring adventure that'll please long-neglected Western fans to no end.

not trying to win any awards or change the face of cinema. It's a good, old fashioned shoot 'em up action flick with quick-draw cowboys, wild horses, sharp-shooters, native Americans good and bad , one-liners, drinkers, smokers, an evil overlord, and a knife- wielding Asian thrown in for good measure. Where the film lacks in its back-story of the seven heroes for hire, it makes up for in it's well-placed humor thanks to Chris Pratt mainly and it's crowd-pleasing action scenes there were several moments of applause during the final battle scenes at the screening I attended . Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed "The Magnificent Seven" and look forward to seeing it again.
