I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Astonished at this film's low rating on this website. Almost all reviewers trot out the mantra that this is a remake. So was Hamlet. But Hamlet was better than its predecessors. And so was this film. Perfectly directed, perfect script, perfectly performed. Splendid score. Exciting and engaging in every respect. Philosophical. Its only flaw was that both the principal heroes survived. Also, Buchholz was faintly annoying. The direction, otherwise and in particular, was superb, almost balletic, especially in the composition of its scenes, and the movements of the actors. Great film. Undated. Haven't seen many better. Worth re-watching many times. Made stars of all its actors, except for Brad. This review isn't meant to be helpful

Firstly, the music is wonderful. In Hollywood movies the music should drive the narrative, and this is one of the best examples you'll ever see. Elmer Bernstein was a genius--and not in the devalued sense that the word is used today. You can listen to the score without the visuals, and it still grabs you.The story is simple, but the character development is more than you would normally expect, and the movie has a message that it successfully conveys. There are so many great stars in this movie, and they all play their part to make the film great, without any one cast member trying to be dominant.And in the end, this is one of the great "feel good" movies of all time. The music, the cast, the message, everything combines to create one of the greatest films ever made.

The Magnificent Seven is a classic Western movie, it really is a good movie, has a great cast, Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Horst Buchholz, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson and etc, the soundtrack is excellent, the script is based on the script The Seven Samurai of Kurosawa, is a Seven Samurai in the Western, has very similar premises, the photography is beautiful, and the action scenes are very good, the costumes are very good, and the rhythm is medium, The Magnificent Seven is A good movie, but would not enter my top 10 of western movies, but has a good cast and good action scenes, not to mention the great photography and good costumes. Note 7.5

Long but thoroughly absorbing, "The Magnificent Seven" is one of those classic Westerns that even non-fans of the genre will probably like. The director, John Sturges, sustains a near-perfect balance between action, humor, character development, and introspection. There are great lines ("I've been offered a lot for my work....but never everything", "No, I'm doing this because I'm an eccentric millionaire!", "With me, only one decision: do what I say"), and powerful scenes (Bronson's response to the kids saying their fathers are cowards, Brynner's lie to the dying Brad Dexter, etc.). The cast is truly magnificent; they make the characters both human and larger-than-life. And of course Elmer Bernstein's score is rousing and unforgettable. It was followed by three sequels, which were mediocre at best, if memory serves. As for the recent remake, the trailer alone says everything that needs to be said. ***1/2 out 4.
