While I appreciate the attempts for bringing diversity to the Wild West, and love some of the actions scenes, this remake amuses, but mostly misfires.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 14, 2024

A solid remake with an excellent cast

| Aug 7, 2023

It’s an action romp, and Denzel and company pull it off nicely.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 23, 2022

This is a narrow-minded, subtly mean-spirited remake.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 11, 2022

The Magnificent Seven makes all the right noises, but misses its target.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 18, 2022

The action scenes are well-staged if deeply impersonal - in fact, much of the film feels rote and mechanical, less a vibrant throwback to vintage Westerns and more a marketing campaign in search of meaning.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 18, 2021

A safe, by-the-numbers remake of two classics designed to make money.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 23, 2021

Could be leaner and well, maybe not meaner - I would not be surprised if it had the highest body count in a western eve r- but tighter.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2021

The film is little more than a few suspenseful shootouts and a bevy of humorous one-liners.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 5, 2020

With popcorn in hand and expectations in check, The Magnificent Seven is here for you to enjoy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 15, 2020

A certain something is missing here, and it could have something to do with the questionable magnificence of some of the title characters.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 31, 2020

As a classic, Spaghetti-style western, it really works. The actors and the action make it an exciting journey, no matter the plot's small faults.

| Jul 3, 2020

It doesn't bring anything new to the formula, but it doesn't try to, and that's fine.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 2, 2020

What the movie lacks in edge, it mostly makes up for in energy and chemistry among the band of mercenaries, and that's just enough to give it a modest recommendation.

| Apr 28, 2020

Over all, The Magnificent Seven is everything it was required to be. I'd say it's exactly as good as the prior incarnation, and takes enough liberties with the details to merit its own existence.

| Mar 31, 2020

The Magnificent Seven is exactly that. If you're looking for a fun time out at the movies, you'll get that. I'm just not sure you'll remember much afterward.

| Feb 13, 2020

Ultimately, it's the reinvigorated Denzel Washington that makes this worthwhile, if not essential, viewing.

| Jan 14, 2020

On the downside, it's an uneven film. Most of the secondary characters lack depth.

| Oct 9, 2019

The Magnificent Seven is an entertaining film with a mix of action, drama, and comedy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 25, 2019

Through successive rounds of whitewashing, one of the great works of cinema has been transformed into a bland, brainless multiplex shoot-em-up.
