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.

Remake tanto semplice quanto spettacolare e ben riuscito. Quando dietro la macchina da presa c'è Fuqua ed il protagonista è Denzel Washington la qualità è quasi sempre garantita, soprattutto se ci si aggiunge anche Ethan Hawke andando a riformare il terzetto vincente già visto in "Training day". Proprio nei personaggi sta il punto forte del film, ben costruiti per varietà estetica e di personalità con una serie di dialoghi divertenti e rapidi; quasi mai banali. La trama è molto basica, forse davvero troppo; qualche dettaglio in più ne avrebbe aumentato lo spessore. Discrete le lunghissime sequenze di azione, dove solo per brevi tratti si percepisce qualche forzatura, soprattutto visiva e dettata dalla CGI e solo per pochi momenti dovuta a movimenti poco credibili nei combattimenti. Un western moderno che incontra i gusti del pubblico e lo fa senza ambire a diventare un capolavoro; semplice ma sostanzioso.

Blu B

On it's own it's a good movie, but as a remake it's half decent. The pacing isn't bad but is the biggest change here compared the original despite being almost exactly the same runtime whoch is weird. It takes about 10-15 minutes longer for the team to assemble and it sort of starts to drag a bit. It also goes for more character driven moments in the middle which the original did too for certain members but it isn't as tightly done with the main story if that makes sense. The ending also which is very entertaining, is a little bit over the top and feels like it's an absurd amount of bad guys like zombie hordes. It feels like this somehow is slower at points but also too fast somehow but still works suprisngly. This is mainly because the direction and everything else is solid. Denzel is the best character and the cinematography in terms of special effects, camerawork, lighting, framing, and set design are all top notch. The problem is the characters aren't as memorable as the ones in the original and don't have as good chemistry as a whole as the others did. Chris Pratt isn't bad but he doesn't carry the same kind of cool factor that someone like McQueen did. Garcia is easily the most forgettable character of all of the "Seven" movies and it's lame he survived. D'Nofrio is kind of bizarre and I wish they would've made Hawke more darker instead of a con man liar. The villian is one of the weakest parts and is just ok and super forgettable. He isn't even close to Eli Wallach's performance. As well done as everything is here, nothing is really better than how the 1960 one did it and doesn't really add anything. Save for the indian member who was awesome and the coolest member. That's probably the best thing this added. The action also can feel a bit over the top too and the more quiet scenes don't stick out as much as the rest of the film does. It hits for the most part the same beats the original did on a bigger picture with no real radical changes. Which begs the question why this was made. They should've done what they did with the original which was effectively a remake of the Seven Samurai. Take the idea and put it in a new setting with new characters told in a new way. anyone who is a fan of the director, any actors in this, or modern westerns should give this a try. I guess anyone who hasn't seen the original would like this and honestly I thin most people would. But it's not really better than either of its predecessors.

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

Denver Post

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.

Rated: 2/4

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