What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Magnificent Seven never really lives up to the superlative in its title -- or the classics from which it draws inspiration -- but remains a moderately diverting action thriller on its own merits.

The Magnificent Seven (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Kristen Lopez Culturess This new take on The Magnificent Seven boasts another A-list cast, but forsakes characters for bloodless, PG-13 action that entertains without resonating. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) John Wenzel Denver Post As things build toward the long, bloody and by-the-numbers (if ably staged) showdown, it's hard not to mourn for the film this could have been, considering the assemblage of talent. Rated: 2/4 Dec 14, 2016 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association It's respectful of the past, while it blazes into the future of a genre that is as American as covered wagons. Nov 8, 2016 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jana Monji Age of the Geek 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. Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews A solid remake with an excellent cast Aug 7, 2023 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (2016) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It’s an action romp, and Denzel and company pull it off nicely.

Audience Member The Magnificent Seven (2016) is a visually impressive and action-packed film that offers a satisfying retelling of a classic story. While it may not be as groundbreaking as the original, it is a well-crafted and entertaining adventure. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Audience Member To consider this a real western is an insult to the genre. Its a silly movie that is impossible to take seriously. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Korra N Better than the original Magnificent Seven but still not the same level of masterpiece as Seven Samurai, Antoine Fuqua's remake doesn't shy away from unchecked malice of evil men with some truly gripping action, brilliant performances and an almost epic-sized finale that's as intense as it is poignant & beautiful. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review R B No comparison to the Original Movie Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/28/24 Full Review Bumble B Killing certain members of the seven was unnecessary and even if they wanted to pull at heartstrings and show that sometimes the good guys lose, did they really have to kill 4/7? They could've gotten away with just killing Faraday (Chris Pratt) and that would've been enough because he sacrifices himself to take out the big gun but instead they kill four out of the seven and half the town, if not more. At that point, the towns people should've just left.Jack Horne (Vincent D'Onofrio), Goodnight Robicheaux (Ethan Hawke), Billy Rocks (Lee Byung-hun) and Josh Faraday (Chris Pratt) were good characters. I feel like there could've been a good squeal if they'd only killed Faraday off. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Audience Member I loved the reboot :) Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
