The Magnificent Seven

The western genre has gradually been making its way back into the cinematic fold. Recent dusty trail ditties such as David McKenzie's modern-day Hell or High Water or Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight have proven to be recent saddle-tested gems that enthusiastically put cowpoke enthusiasts in movie theater seats. Furthermore, what would Hollywood do if it did not predictably invite yet another remake of a classic film into the moviegoers' mindset? Hence, director Antoine Fuqua takes a challenging stab at generating interest in his latest workman-like western shoot 'em up in the millennium-made version of The Magnificent Seven.

Naturally, Fuqua's chaotic and calculating gun-toting actioner is an updated remake of director Joh...

In 1879, degenerate industrialist Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard) blockades the mining town of Rose Creek, and butchers a gathering of local people drove by Matthew Cullen (Matt Bomer) when they endeavor to confront him. Matthew's better half, Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett), and her companion, Teddy Q (Luke Grimes), ride to the closest town looking for somebody who can help them and happen upon abundance seeker Sam Chisolm (Denzel Washington), who at first decays their proposition until he learns of Bogue's contribution.

Chisolm embarks to enlist a gathering of gunslingers who can help him, beginning with card shark Josh Faraday (Chris Pratt).Watch and download "The Megneficent Seven" here movies watch free They are later joined ...

The new seven, all unique and diversified!

Basically, people watch it for either those actors and the director or for an entertertainment. But we all know the story, how it begins and how it ends, since it was the remake of the 1960 film. Actually, it was a successful remake, but not as magnificent as the original. Maybe the youngsters might like this one better.

The director's favourite, Denzel Washington in one of the main characters. Not much change in the theme, except the screenplay was little altered, especially diversity in the film characters and their developments. Because nowadays that's a big issue in Hollywood cinema. So it was led by Denzel and possibly there will be a sequel like the 'Ocean's' trilogy.

We are now in an age of film making where "tagged classics" are no longer sacrosanct. Any number of these "tagged classics" have been and will become viable for remake - reboot - reimaging for newer audiences. It's he...

Ditches all the cerebral factors in favour of dumb fun, but hey, it works.

Final rating: - I personally recommend you give it a go.

This is indeed a very good remake of an old classic. As always I am a bit worried when they make a remake of old classics that I liked. This remake is well worth watching though. Despite having a few minor gripes I went for 5 out of 5 stars on this one.

Most of you are probably familiar with the story of The Magnificent Seven. Gunslinger gets hired to protect a village from the evil industrialist, he picks 6 buddies to help him, trains the villagers, digs in and sits down and waits for the bad guys to arrive. A simple and well suited story for a bit of Western entertainment. I guess I should mention as well that the original Western is actually not the real original. That honor befalls Shichinin no samurai, or Seven Samurai in English, w...

My only objection with this version is the use of the Gatling gun. Though I know it's only a movie and it creates more excitement, the gun never fired that many rounds per load. That said, I still enjoyed the movie.

Muscular Western headed by Denzel Washington is superior to the hokey original

A woman (Haley Bennett) seeking justice after the murder of her husband enlists a bounty hunter (Denzel Washington), who gathers six others, to defend the womans southwestern town against a ruthless army hired by a destructive industrialist (Peter Sarsgaard). Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Byung-Hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Martin Sensmeier play the other six gunfighters.

"The Magnificent Seven" (2016) is a reimagining of the 1960 Western, which itself was based on Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" (1954). While the plot is contrived the original version had a stellar cast, a magnificent score and great locations, but it was ruined by hokey...

These magnificent seven are politically correct and historically inaccurate, but still far more fun than any sequel to the first film.

Magnificent Seven the original film was a remake of a Japanese production, and ended up being followed by an unnecessary and rather poor succession of sequels. Only the Japanese original and the early American film remain for posterity, which is a classic in its own right. What we have here turns out to be a remake of the remake, and despite its many merits, it doesn't make us forget our first love.

The film has two big points in its favor: the production, luxurious and detailed, and the quality of the cast involved. The script presents the same story that we already know, but structured differen...
