Biehn's terse, tightly coiled performance and stirring music from Elmer Bernstein's original 1960 score enhance the "Magnificent" mystique. [2 Jan 1998]

The debut is cinematically beautiful, the cast is top-notch, the story is compelling, the characters distinct, the music stirring. The question is, why now? [30 Dec 1997]

The Magnificent Seven is sort of an odd mixture of 1990s political correctness and every cliche that's ever been played out in Western movies and TV shows. But, odder still, it all comes together in a rather enjoyable way. [2 Jan 1998]

Most of the staples are there: the shootouts, flinty stares, purposeful strides through gunpowder smoke, tobacco spitting and rides into the sunset. What's missing is a little credibility. [2 Jan 1998]

Considering the ways it's been scaled down for TV, "The Adequate Seven" or "The Essentially Competent Seven" might have made more accurate titles. [3 Jan 1998]

When you saddle up with CBS' new Magnificent Seven, you're in for trite violence, far-fetched situations, dull characters and saddle sores. [3 Jan 1998]
