Amazon.com essential video:
Akira Kurosawa's rousing Seven Samurai was a natural for an American remake--after all, the codes and conventions of ancient Japan and the Wild West (at least the mythical movie West) are not so very far apart. Thus The Magnificent Seven effortlessly turns samurai into cowboys (the same trick worked more than once: Kurosawa's Yojimbo became Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars). The beleaguered denizens of a Mexican village, weary of attacks by banditos, hire seven gunslingers to repel the invaders once and for all. The gunmen are cool and capable, with most of the actors playing them just on the cusp of '60s stardom: Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn. The man who brings these warriors together is Yul Brynner, the baddest bald man in the West. There's nothing especially stylish about the approach of veteran director John Sturges (The Great Escape), but the storytelling is clear and strong, and the charisma of the young guns fairly flies off the screen. If that isn't enough to awaken the 12-year-old kid inside anyone, the unforgettable Elmer Bernstein music will do it: bum-bum-ba-bum, bum-ba-bum-ba-bum.... Followed by three inferior sequels, Return of the Seven, Guns of the Magnificent Seven, and The Magnificent Seven Ride! --Robert Horton

Played my Magnificent Seven DVD on my Blue ray Disc player although it's not HD, the picture & sound were great. Recieved the DVD within three days.

I know this is considered a classic. The theme music is sublime, and it features some great Hollywood actors in their prime. And I am not comparing the film to Kurosawa's, because I think that is an unfair comparison (apples and oranges, so to speak). But after watching this again as middle-aged adult, I found it impossible to suspend my disbelief in the face of one silly situation after another.
First of all, a shaven-headed man as pale as Chris Adams (Yul Brynner), living and riding ... Read More

It is a hard order to fill if you want to reinvision Akira Kurosawa set within an American western using a hodgepodge of ethnic actors. Not only are you attempting to recreate the same symbolic references and deep moral elements of an already established cult classic, but there are so many other outside elements that may be harder to control than simply samurai's saving a small village. None the less, director John Sturges tried, and the final result was the abysmal "The Magnificent Seven". Not to ... Read More

One generous star, and that's for Elmer Bernstein's lasting score.
This and three sequels? Hollywood's creative genius is fathomless.
Watch the original (Kurosawa's Seven Samurai), forget this misadventure. If Hollywood insisted on copying it with this ungulated-whore, they should have deleted some of Samurai's flaws,to wit: The whole romantic interlude is un-necessary. The Bucholz clown is just plain distracting to the dramatic momentum in many, many scenes (at least in Samurai, Mifune ... Read More

Based off the Japanese 7 Samurai story. This movie has a great blend of characters with good acting and a great soundtrack. Classic western and among the favorites of many people who enjoy the genre.
