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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

Heavy handed and slow, The Magnificent Seven fails to achieve anything too meaningful or progressive for the Western genre. Some redeeming factors are the exciting finale and the quality cinematography.
