Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have seen the original 1960 film with Yul Brenner. This is an excellent remake and Denzel does “The man in black” role to perfection. In fact there are a lot of famous actors and they were all cast and performed perfectly. Definitely worth a watch and purchase.

A take on the basic story A town needs to be protected from the control of an all powerful industrialist. Unable to hire the west finest, hard to get good help, in rides Densel with his band of ruthless mercenaries. A violent showdown is coming and will keep u on ur horse!!

I love this movie so much. I will watch it over and over again every recommend it to anybody

I had seen only part of the movie what I had seen was very good so that made me go to Best Buy where I get all my DVD'S so that I was able to watch from the beginning this one was better than any of the prior Magnificent Seven Denzel Washington was good

I like all 7 actors and enjoyed their works from other films. It's a different story with the same name and premise. Good acting. Good action sequences. The villain didn't quite do it for me though. He was like any other western villain.

Good but not great remake of the 1960 movie. Good cast that seem with fun action. Nothing ground breaking though. The digital copy is good until 12/31/2019 so get it soon though I have found that you can often redeem the digital copies after the "expiration" date

I bought this dvd as a gift for my husband. He is “old school” and loves western movies. We went to see it at the movie theater. Even I enjoyed it so buying it was a no brained. My husband has watched it many times.

Good, interesting movie the concept the meaning of the this movie was very moving. How they came together to stand for justice and to help the less fortune people who lives in that town. Giving back what was taken.

Great movie I highly recommend this one. I was surprised how good this movie is.

If you like fast paced, action movies, you will love this one! It is a Western, but with actors such as Denzel Washington...that says it all! Held my attention all the way through. The story line is great too!

Seen this one at the theater and once on cable. The blue ray disk is definitely the best. Riveting story. 5.1 surround sound made you part of the story and kept you engaged. 4K HDR is the only way to go

I was always on the look out for this movie. I wanted it in blu ray but couldn’t find it anywhere. Again Best Buy always comes through! It was a little hard to find but a bargain nonetheless!

I've remember as a kid watching the first version with Yul Brynner. I've watched other subsequent versions, which were OK. This latest is a nice update and is in line with the original.

I recently subjected "The Magnificent Seven" to just about the toughest test imaginable--I watched it just a few days after "Seven Samurai. " And while I'm not going to pretend it's on par with Kurosawa's astounding masterpiece, I have to tip my hat to Hollywood on this one: it's very good, among the best American Westerns. The focus of the screenplay is more on post-Bogart-pre-Eastwood cool banter than the gradual, taciturn character development of "Seven Samurai," but that doesn't mean that the film doesn't have a heart. Considering it clocks in at barely over two hours (compared to the marathonic three and a half of "Samurai"), it actually does a fantastic and very economical job of fleshing out its memorable cast of characters. One particularly wonderful scene that stuck in my memory from the first time I saw the film ten years ago is the one where Lee (Robert Vaughn), drunk in the middle of the night, confesses his frailties and fear to two of the farmers. The scene (along with the general story of these down-and-out heroes) was groundbreaking in that it began the deconstruction and deromanticization of the Western hero which would be brought to fruition in Sergio Leone's unparalleled spaghetti Westerns. The star-studded cast wouldn't hold up doing Shakespeare, but they're ideal in this gunslinging, cool-talking tough-guy adventure. As if a lineup of heroes that included Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, and James Coburn wasn't enough, Eli Wallach steals the show as the Mexican bandit chief, a worthy precursor to his classic role "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." If the screenplay has a major flaw, it's that his character isn't featured more. The score is, of course, one of the all-time classics. And while not as alive visually as the Japanese film that inspired it or the Italian Westerns it influenced, it's still mighty fine to look at, and the gunfights don't disappoint. The pieces add up to one of the great entertaining films of all time, which still manages to be moving and morally aware despite its Hollywoodization of Kurosawa's vision.

Great cast and well produced with some good action

Even casual film watchers are aware this this is a remake of John Sturges’s excellent film of the same name from 1960. And that film is itself a remake of the 1954 classic Japanese film, “The Seven Samurai.” I’ve seen both of the older films and like them both. So now, should I hate Antoine Fuqua’s current film? Well, no. No more than I would hate Jimi Hendrix covering Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower.” The fact is that Fuqua assembled an excellent group of actors, staged some terrific action sequences and provided a couple hours of fun at the movies. Probably not as much fun as the actors had, but still, you get the idea. The theme is the same with some variances, perhaps the names and characters are most noticeable. I’ll get to that in a minute. A town in the West called Rose Creek is the setting in the 1870’s. The small farming town is beset by a brutal land grabber called Bartholomew Bogue (a villainous and very good Peter Sarsgaard). After the vicious killing of several innocent townsfolk including the husband of Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett), she and her friend Teddy (Luke Grimes) go to the nearest “big town” to recruit gunfighters to protect them from further attacks. There they run into a black man known as Chisolm (Denzel Washington) who dresses in all black and rides a very black horse. He’s reluctant to help but when he hears the name Bogue, he and we understand he knows the creep. Chisolm manages to recruit a Crayola box of gunslingers including Faraday (Chris Pratt), Col. Robicheau (Ethan Hawke), Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio), Billy Rocks (Byung-hun Lee), Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) and Comanche, Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier). If the film is to be faulted, it shortchanges any depth in any of the characters. The closest we come is Robicheau, a Confederate sharp-shooter with a bad case of PTSD. Where the film stands out is some great action sequences once the appropriate build-up takes place. This includes training the townsfolk, creating traps, staging ambushes, and planting explosives as Bogue’s 200 hired guns make a final assault. For the record this movie has plenty of killing using a variety of weaponry, although sadly, the PG-13 rating keeps visual blood spilling to a minimum. The movie is enhanced by the excellent musical score by Simon Franglen and James Horner who borrow liberally from Elmer Bernstein’s masterpiece. The film has its share of humor, mostly provided by the alcoholic Faraday. Personally, I took a hankering to Jack Horne who is referred to as a bear in a people suit. Fuqua has delivered a highly entertaining alternative to massive destruction of big cities which is more in vogue these days. Recommended.

This movie was awesome. I truly enjoyed watching with my family. This movie made you feel like you were back in the cowboy days. Full of great action. One of my favorite movies. A must see.

My aunt really wanted this movie and everywhere I looked for it they didn’t have it. Not only did I found it here I also found it for a great price, fun movie to watch with family.

Love this movie! Denzel’s swag and Chris’s cockiness and humor was just two of the highlights of this well cast western. Will always be a Bobby Goren fan. Good fun!

I loved this movie from the first time I saw it. I’ve watched this movie at least 10 times since its release. Great selection of cast with a great western and story.
