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.

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.

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.

Unoriginal. Poor production. It's rare for a good movie to come out of Hollywood in this day and age, especially Westerns. This remake failed on all accounts. Unfortunate.

I strongly disagree with many of the poor reviews of this film. I thought it was a fantastic film that was very well written, acted and which had great action. It is one of those films i can watch over and over again.

Pale imitation of the original. Gatling guns don't have anywhere near the range shown in the movie. Chris Pratt gets shot three times then calmly walks across the field, ignored by all the bad guys and blows up the gatling gun. The only decent performance was Vincent D'onofrio. Makes one appreciate the original all the more.

Another instance of Hollywood's inability to make decent new films. This unnecessary and subpar remake fails on just about every level. Id strongly advise people to watch the original, or better still: The Seven Samurai, which even the most ardent Denzel Washington fan, will find vastly more entertaining

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It's an entertaining western with great action scenes and stunts. However, by trying to combine light humour and jokes with deep character motivations hurts the plot.
