If you need a break from today's comic book hero and modern day action hero movies replete with their obligatory car chases and nanosecond scene cuts so that you can't follow the action then try something different. Here is the original classic action heroes movie in a classic Western setting - The Magnificent Seven! Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson and James Coburn are the original classic action heroes who inspired countless stars even today. Now out on Blu-ray is the entire collection of the Magnificent Seven movies. Although the original is undoubtedly the best, the three credible sequels are enjoyable to see other Western/Action Heroes from this era. Great package and value will provide you countless hours of enjoyment.

I saw all four of these movies in a theater when they originally came out but it's been a long time since then. I just watched this collection in sequence and it was a pleasure to view them again, after so long. The movies looked great and with the enhanced sound it was like being in a theater again. If you like westerns, you would be very happy with this collection. Back at the time, and still today, I feel the first two titles are the best - once Yul Brynner left the last two films just weren't as good, in my opinion. Still an enjoyable set - I miss westerns but heartily recommend this collection and "Open Range" as great examples of the genre!

The price of this set is worth it for the first movie alone, which is an absolute classic. That's the long and short of it. The fact that you get the sequels is just gravy. None of them can match the original, but if you're just a completionist, or just have an unexplainable affinity for inferior sequels like I do, you'll be happy to have the full Magnificent Seven collection for just a couple dollars more than the cost of the first film alone.

It was good to see some of the years past actors in their prime (or coming into their prime). Now we can see why Yul Brynner was so popular back then,, because he has this stage presence that takes over the scenes. Good to be reminded of the young actors that were coming into their own, such as Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, and James Colburn who was so cool in his role as the quiet knife throwing gunman. Also, have to give credit to Eli Wallach as the lead bandit who played a good role. Good to watch when in between other recent movies.

After the 2016 remake came out, many people were wondering what the original was like. This collection answers that question: The original was well scripted and well acted and had a great musical score. In my opinion, the 1960 version is superior to 2016's effort. Based solely on getting the original, this is worth it. This collection, however, goes further and provides three sequels from 1966, 1969 and 1972. These sequels are fun to watch, but they are a pale imitation of either of the "Magnificent Seven"s.
