More Than Magnificent

Introduction
    With the small town of Rose Creek under the siege of the tycoon Bartholomew Bogue, the small community of poor, hard-working farmer are faced with a life-changing choice, pack up their few belongings and sell their land to the enemy or gather their arms and fight for what they have spent their entire lives pursuing. One major factor being these inhabitants are farmers not fighters, few if any have been in combat making inexperience a deadly weapon. Emma Cullens’ husband was murdered by one of Bogues’ gangs, along with many others in the close knit community; her and friend Teddy Q ride to a nearby town searching for anyone that can help, here they find Sam Chrisholm the bounty hunter and immediately try enlist his help in gaining control of the beloved Rose Creek again. Initially Chrisholm denies the pair until he learns that Bogue is the man responsible. The trio begins enlisting a quite diverse group of gunslingers, gamblers, a knife artist, sharpshooters, a tracker, and indian and a mexican outlaw to take down Bogues’ tyranny. There is never a dull moment from inlaid jokes, smart comments, and humour to intense battles, realistic situations, and the constant terror; whether you enjoy comedies, action-packed, or straight western The Magnificent Seven is sure to please.
Evaluation
    From the start I knew The Magnificent Seven was going to be well thought out, prepared and executed movie. While some movies begin slow and gradually lead up to the plot or piece by piece put together a long drawn out story line, this one hits you straight on in the first few scenes. I personally prefer this kind of movie because I feel it grabs your attention quickly and will continue to hold your attention for longer rather than dragging out the intro. I thoroughly enjoyed The Magnificent Seven from start to finish.

Relation to Similar Cultural Artifacts
    The Magnificent Seven 2016 version is actually a remake of the 1960 version directed by John Sturges and starring Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen, Horst Buchholz, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, etc. While the 1960 versions is also a remake; It was reproduced based on the 1954 Samurai Seven directed by Akira Kurosawa starring Toshirô Mifune, Takashi Shimura, and Keiko Tsushima.

Getting Down To Business
Entertaining 4/4
    I rated a perfect because I was wide-eyed the whole movie, was anticipating what would happen next with every new twist and turn of the plot, and I without a doubt would watch this movie again in a heartbeat. Although deemed a western, I believe The Magnificent Seven brought a new level of excitement to the table. Even when considering this movie a remake I believe the action was intriguing.
Scene Quality 3/4
    While analyzing the animation and scenes, I thought the scenes were very well thought out and decorated. The one low point in the scenes was when the church was shown after being torched; this was while Sam Chisholm rode into town. I thought the church was lacking when it came to the burnt look but other than that all else seemed well-executed.
Actors’ Performance 4/4
     One huge aspect to look into is the quality of the actors and how well they play the role. Not once did I find a actor breaking character, they were believable being so heartfelt and dedicated to making the movie seem real. The level of experience in this cast was extreme looking at Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Haley Bennett being just a few of the main characters you can imagine that this crew can and will excel.
Plot 4/4
    Not once did I find myself wonder what the plot was actually supposed to be. I followed the timeline easily and not once was I confused about what the final goal was; that being the reason why I rate the plot as perfect.
Intensity 4/4
     The Magnificent Seven was nothing short of intense, with the man to man combat, western gunfights, and hidden surprises. The addition of the background soundtrack adds even more effect making the experience all the more life-like.
The Little Things 4/4
    While easily overlooked the small things in all movies make them all the more solid and interesting. The Magnificent Seven is not lacking here; while a major detail is the color of the horses. For each of the seven men their horses are all a different color or shade of brown. Furthermore each horse matches the riders’ clothing color. Looking at Sam Chisholm dressed in all black atop a black horse, Josh Faraday clothed in a dark brown leather riding a dark brown horse, Billy Rocks rides a chestnut colored horse that matches his gun holster, Jack Hornes’ vest and hat matches the brown horse he is atop, Red Harvest is masked with the same war paint his horse is, the others follow in the same pattern. I easily rate the details a 4/4 in The Magnificent Seven.

Final Tally 23/24
PS. THIS WAS FOR A CLASS GRADE!… Expand

Though not the most impressive adaptation of its original source material, The Magnificent Seven's expansive cast and action sequences make up for its overall bland and cheap narrative.

The "Wild" West got its name for a reason. It was extremely violent. Historically it is also more accurate, from the demographics to the mindset, it was about claiming/keeping your land and greed.

Basically, people watch it for either those actors and the director or for an entertertainment. But we all know the story, how it begins and how it ends, since it was the remake of the 1960 film. Actually, it was a successful remake, but not as magnificent as the original. Maybe the youngsters might like this one better.

The director's favourite, Denzel Washington in one of the main characters. Not much change in the theme, except the screenplay was little altered, especially diversity in the film characters and their developments. Because nowadays that's a big issue in Hollywood cinema. So it was led by Denzel and possibly there will be a sequel like the 'Ocean's' trilogy.

The people from a small mining town decides to hire men with guns to fight the villainous businessman who slaughtered their loved ones. The unusual seven men come together and form a team with a plan to defend the town. So what comes next is the battle between the good and the bad that lasts for the whole final act.

The setting was completely refreshing, but slightly disappointing action sequences. All the seven characters were unique and awesome, but the film lacked the great battle scene that defines each one of them. Surely I favour it just for once watch that told from the todays imagination of the 1870s era. Feels like it should have been better, but in the end it is a satisfying film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "You seek for revenge?"
"I seek righteousness, but I'll take revenge"

A slick,sick,greed,ruthless dan heartless businessman Bartholomeuw Bogue (Peter Saarsgard) came to this small village Rose Creek, and just when he find out that at some site near that village worth maybe tons of gold, he intend to occupied it in very cheap price, $20 for each land from which every single house build. And no negotiation, and as time goes by the offering is only get bitter.So, 3 weeks or else. Then, Bogue shot to death a young man, after questioning about Bogues morality when Bouge's men beat a reverend ruthlessly.The death of that young man leaves anger deep in the heart of Emma Cullen (Halley Bennet).

Then Emma accompanied by his associate Teddy (Luke Grimes) search for a bounty hunter that she will pay with everything she got. Then she cross path with Chisolm (Denzel Washington) just after Chisolm executed a state wanted man for murder and rape, and so Emma ask for Chisolm's help. Chisolm accept the job for one reason - that he always takes high price, but never before someone ask for his service with everything they got. Then Chisolm recruits another six persons, first he recruited Faraday (Chris Pratt), a gambler drinker handsome big mouth but with excellent skills of card magic, then a sharp shooter with stress post traumatic disorder Goodnight Robicheaux a.k.a Angel of Death (Ethan Hawke),also a former Confederation along with his sidekick Billy Rocks (Byung Hun Lee), a very fast Chinese gunman, but faster and deadlier with blades (Byung Hun Lee actually a Korean actor).While Chisolm recruited a Mexican outlaw Vasques (Manuel Garcia Rulfo). After then they together recruited an ex Indian hunter, the legendary John Horne (Vincent D' Onofrio), and an Indian Comanche warrior with his noble principals, Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeir).
Chisolm didn't waste much time, he and his 6 compatriots killed 22 Bouge's best gunmen and sent the town sheriff to infom Bouge, gather the town's citizens to choose, stay and fight to death or leave. These 7 men only have 3 days to prepare the city before Bogue and his hundreds of army to rush them all.

This is the 2nd remake of Akiro Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" after John Sturges "The Seven Magnificent" (1960). If 1960's version is more focus to the 7 gunmen with the citizens, Fuqua's version is upgraded into a whole new level, all thanks to Pazollato and Wenk's screenplay that create the citizen's despair, but Chisolm anfd his men manage to turn the citizen's fear of Bouge into the fear of lost everything they ever dream for, lost for they pride. Pazolatto and Wenk also manage to put some humor in some parts.

The screenplay smartly deliver us the story of a group of men that some of them with background that give them enough emotional reason to kill each other, e.g John Horne (ex Indian Hunter), Red Harvest (Indian Comanche), Faraday (his grandfather killed by Mexican gang), Vasquez (his grandfather was a member of Mexican gang that ambush Faraday's grandfather's town), but they bound together with one purpose, a noble purpose.Why?Cauze for another 5 men (beside Chisolm and Red Harvest) each of them have they own past to reconcile with, wanna make piece to their own soul before the next battle that could be their last one by take the impossible job. But off course the the last tiny element of surprise from Chisolm about his personal agenda, he has his very own personal reason why he finally take this job, that left me a question : Maybe this one flaw on this Mag7? Why? Because, why Chisolm rejected the offering from Emma, and declared that he himself is not for sale.but then he take the job when he found Emma will pay him - even all at once- with everything she got. Or maybe is just Chisolm eager to know how far would this widow go to seek righteousness or even revenge?If she would go a long the way, then Chisolm had a good reason to recruit the men he need.

This Mag7 only give as much as a glance of each person's historical background, through their dialogues. Except for Robicheaux, this character get a little more exposed and curiousity what the hell happen to him after North and South war that make him hate himself so much after all act that he has committed during North and South war, that make him a very flimsy man.
Denzel is really perform great his character cool bad ass, while Pratt represent enthusiasm and the spirit of this movie. Ethan Hawke (this is the 2nd time he team up with both Denzel and Fuqua) gave audiences skepticism about what will happen to this team. The rest of the cast, even didn't get portion as much as Denzel (off course, he is the man) or Ethan Hawke and Pratt - especially Martin Sensmier get the smallest portion - but they're all represent an assembled excellent marksmen (some og them have hororable dirty little secrets) to march as one into a battle for one descent good noble cause. Haley Bennet performances represent as young widow search for the last hope and an attitude to face all odds at all cost for he igdinity since her husband gunned down in coldblood by Bouge (Saargards appearance really gives the impression as the sick man). I also give credit to the cinematography that shots all gunfight scenes so perfectly, how Mauro Fiore took the angle to describe the savarage of Bouge's gold minning from distance.

Fuqua's Mag7 is not one of classical western movie, but It's superbly done...and magnificently delivered to us, magically entertaining from beginning till end. Even though this movie might don't have what all critics wants to be as classical but still will be remembered as one of the most entertaining,enjoyable western.. Really as the quotes of the dialogues between Chisolm and Robicheaux "What we lost in the fire, we found in the ashes"… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This remake of a remake tells the time honored tale of a few brave men rising up to defend the weak and oppressed, and again shows us the conflict we've seen many times before, in which, the skilled few stand u to the oppressive many.

The Magnificent 7 establishes its setting in perfect fashion, thrusting us into a heated town meeting. Then suddenly, the villain enters, his menacing footsteps thump and creak on the wood floor, disagreement ensues, and suddenly, a shot splits the air. Such a startling sound, that you never really get used to, despite the amount of lead that flies here. The Western atmosphere is perfectly recreated and though it is that much more real, due to improved technology, it feels familiar in a way. Strains, variations, and melodic teases of Elmer Bernstein's famous score riddle the film and keep the mood adventurous.

The obvious dominant component of the film, its action scenes are epic, and gripping. There are of course plenty of scenes that any western worth its salt is simply required to feature. Several Mexican standoffs, so delightfully stereotypical, as well as quite a few things that are new, or have not been seen for a while. A duel between two Comanches, a fighting force seeking shelter from the mighty Gatling gun, and a cowboy lighting dynamite with a cigarette as he lays dying all come to mind. I could go on for much longer about how ridiculously cool this movie's action sequences are, but I'll let you see for yourself.

Finally, the plot, though anything but unfamiliar is a moving and epic tale about unity, loyalty, and grit. One of my favorite scenes in the movie features Jack Horne, the tracker, played by Vincent D'onofrio, (who like the rest of this all star cast is just downright amazing in a role that fits like a glove) shot by an enemy arrow. He falters, but stares at the enemy and rises. He takes a step forward, and is stopped again, a second shaft protruding from his chest. He continues his advance toward the enemy until he can no longer, dying with his dignity intact.

The Magnificent Seven is a film that is so clichéd that it begins to feel original. And That is definitely a compliment. Not that there is anything wrong with modern westerns that try something new, like Django, or No Country For Old Men, but It is certainly a joy to watch a movie that owns these tropes for what they are, tosses some satisfying character development into the mix, and makes something out of it that is, for lack of a better adjective, positively "Magnificent".… Expand

Most of theIt's an exciting western with modern day flourishes. It's shootouts are big, flashy, and all very exciting. The strength of the movie though comes from it's characters. They are wonderfully acted and likable in their own ways.

Most of the attention does go to Denzel and Pratt, but Fuqua makes sure the rest of the talented people onscreen don't go by unnoticed. Each member of the seven has their presence felt throughout. The biggest surprise onscreen has to be Vincent D'Onofrio who proves to be a fantastic character actor. The camaraderie between the cast adds a little heart to the experience and gives the battles more weight.

The one area where The Magnificent Seven stumbles is with it's plot and main villain. The writing is fine, it's just the setup isn't very original. I'm aware this is a remake so it's likely just following the source material, but that doesn't change the fact that this sort of thing has been done to death at this point. Then there's Peter Sarsgaard. Or rather there isn't Peter Sarsgaard. He barely has any screen time or presence in a movie where he's the big bad guy. Kind of disappointing.

When all is said and done though, The Magnificent Seven is no less exciting or well-cast. It's a heck of a lot of fun and a reminder that it's about time that westerns made a comeback on the big screen.… Expand

In my eyes, they fixed their own own mistake on presenting their political message with humour. Now onto the actual film: some actors had more time to shine which was a shame because the cast all did great. Because it's an action movie, maybe that doesn't even matter. Why develop characters when they are fodder? That's a very Wild West view. Imagery pulled me in and the tactics were pretty authentic to my knowledge to the expense of maybe getting draggy because of the attention to detail. I LOVED THAT!

Magnificent Seven was a solidly good movie! The cast has done very well with this movie. This could be the best western movie of 2016 unlike any other.
