Critics Consensus

The Magnificent Seven never really lives up to the superlative in its title -- or the classics from which it draws inspiration -- but remains a moderately diverting action thriller on its own merits.

This new take on The Magnificent Seven boasts another A-list cast, but forsakes characters for bloodless, PG-13 action that entertains without resonating.

2/4

As things build toward the long, bloody and by-the-numbers (if ably staged) showdown, it's hard not to mourn for the film this could have been, considering the assemblage of talent.

It's respectful of the past, while it blazes into the future of a genre that is as American as covered wagons.

While I appreciate the attempts for bringing diversity to the Wild West, and love some of the actions scenes, this remake amuses, but mostly misfires.

It’s an action romp, and Denzel and company pull it off nicely.

By far one of the best and greatest remakes out there! Movie was not appreciated in its time as it should. This movie is almost the end of an era, a stellar cast driven story and adventure. As well contains the last best musical work of James Horner. The direction, the shot angles, the action and the musics makes this a High Octane/Powder thrill! The script stays true to the original material with a few tweeks and still engaging to keep you cautivated till the end, even though the plot is formulaic. All cast members did a wonderful job, but both Denzel and Chris presence on screen is magnetic, you can pull your eyes away from. Fuqua did a marvelous job directing, the sequences were magnificent and in some instances I felt I was watching a Sergio Leone film! This is a movie that needs more appreciation! Kudos to all!

Not the worst remake No comparison to the 1960 film, but at least it has a good pace. Lots of action, but seems to lack story depth. If you do not care about logic and just want something to watch, it is ok. imho

A fun, well-crafted update on a beloved classic. Blending action, camaraderie, and moral grit, this is worth watching for fans of Westerns and ensemble adventures alike.
