The Magnificent Seven

"I'm really glad that this western made it to the cinemas as part of the 'Project 100', because seeing it on the big screen, especially in great quality, except for a few scenes, was just an awesome experience. And even though the cinema was half empty, it was still a great experience that I enjoyed. Excellent story, which is still simple but still excellent. The childhood nostalgia was present in the right amount, but in the original, it's even better." (02/15/2016)

The Magnificent Seven has an amazing soundtrack. It also has a great cast, superb atmosphere, and great dialogues full of classic lines that can put a satisfied smile on the face of even the toughest guys. This is a movie that I love to watch anytime and to which I have a very strong attachment because it was my father’s favorite movie. (11/28/2015)

A classic. A gang of gunslingers who arrive in a small village to protect the peasants there. One of the few westerns that I really like. Great actors, flawless music and an atmosphere that gets right under your skin. A really well-made remake of Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai that perhaps became even better-known than the original.

A legendary western with an amazing soundtrack that can be watched over and over again without getting tired. And you know who I was rooting for the most? Robert Vaughn. His is an ambiguous character who keeps himself on the sidelines in order to survive, and only at the very end he behaves in a way no one would expect him to… (04/13/2003)

Classic westerns experienced their golden age in the 1940s and 1950s and this film can be considered one of their peaks. It contains all the necessary genre props and elements, and it differs from its genre predecessors with technical improvements - sound, color, and format, as well as a strong cast and meticulous treatment. A treat for genre enthusiasts. The plot is not original, as it is a remake of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. As a form, the classic western feels a bit outdated - it never had much in common with the real history of the settlement of the American continent, and I also dislike the stereotypical characters of the usual western scheme. But why not admire all those naive western elements for a moment, such as the lightning-fast drawing of guns, rapid shooting without reloading, or the endless supply of dispatched outlaws from a supposedly forty-member gang, if it is presented in such a finely crafted form? The quality of the music will also leave a lasting impression. Overall impression: 75%. (07/25/2006)
