As far as remakes goes, this is one of the best and considering the source material being 'Seven Samurai', classic status is a formality. The ensemble cast and score are of the best ever. Cowboys are different from Samurais but both for different reasons become terrific movies.

If the conflicts between the villagers and warriors in Seven Samurai add depth to the film here they just make the film seem like it is straining itself for depth. Similarly some of the scenes in Seven Samurai that add to characterisation or whatnot here just seem cheesy - compare the scenes of the respective groups of warriors handing their food to the villagers to see what I mean. It was good fun but nothing special.

Swellish re-working of SEVEN SAMURAI with Yul Brynner very authoritative in the lead. Great scenery, and the action carries a lot of weight when it finally begins to happen.

I'm slightly wary of remakes in general, but this is a prime example of how to do it right. Sturges brilliantly recontextualizes the story as a Western, keeping certain elements completely intact and rejiggering as he sees fit. What I really liked was the increased focus on the villain, which not only fits the Western genre more, but gives the delightful Eli Wallach some time to shine. The widescreen color photography is wonderful, and the Bernstein score is one of the best I've ever heard.

Remakes are tough to pull off, so a reimagining did nicely. Brynner, McQueen, Bronson, Wallack, Coburn and more. Excellent.

It may have a grand reputation and universally acclaimed source material, but this western is more sturdy than sublime. It still reverberates with the grandness of a bygone studio era when pricey sweep was regularly applied to pulpy storytelling. There are ample shootouts and standoffs, and the turning points are accompanied by clear pronouncements from the characters about where the story is heading next. It's straightforwardly entertaining, the sort of movie that popcorn was invented for.

Well, that was one heckuva cast. And some fun campy moments provided by Buchholz and Wallach. The peasants though were a bit of a whitewash: humble, abject and with no contractions (they kind of reminded me of that Indian kid in Billy Jack).

I like this movie's anti-hero attitude and nearly melancholic mood. Also a very good western.
