Watch The Magnificent Seven For Free

Must See Movie...

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Some may disagree with me but for my money this is the best western ever made. The dialogue, the music, the scenery and the outstanding cast and direction all come together in perfect alignment. It is a movie I have watched many many times since first seeing it at a very early age. Needless to say, I am a huge, huge Yul Brynner fan.

First saw this film in 1960. I was 8 years old, and was bowled over by the action scenes you did not see on TV. Found out about Kurosawa 20 years later. Saw Seven Samurai on the big screen shortly thereafter. Now, by any account, Seven Samurai is easily in the top 40 movies ever made. Held in reverence by most of the Hollywood greats. Compared with the Magnificent Seven, Seven Samurai is at least one or two levels of magnitude greater. Acting, cinematography, direction, score, and editing are all world class. Action scenes, especially with horses, are breathtaking. Takashi Shimura delivers one of his finest performances. Toshiro Mifune effortlessly ranges from idiot to major pathos in one character, and is physically impressive despite his inferiority complex. Other samurai actors are really impressive, like the always cheerful Yoshio Inaba, and particularly the stoic yet brilliant swordsman Seiji Miyaguchi. These characters have impressive depth and complexity. Going back to the Magnificent Seven, the character complexity isn't there. More than a few actors are miscast. Several scenes need to be edited out. The theme song is often poorly placed where mundane things are happening. Jerome Moross' score for The Big Country is significantly better than Bernstein's. much better.

The Magnificent Seven is among some of the great classical western films, and i believe that it has well earned its title as a great classical western film. While Western movies aren't typically films that i love or watch frequently, i can truly say that after watching the film The Magnificent Seven that i enjoyed this film and liked how it was put together and played out. One thing that i enjoyed about this film in particular was the music that was playing, i thought that it was a very good choice and it complimented the film well. It seemed that throughout the duration of this film the background music seemed to fit the scenes very well and helped to get the audience into the film more. Another thing i enjoyed about this film was the stunning cast. They all had a great ability to portray their characters and the story line the film was trying to tell. I think that The Magnificent Seven was trying to give a great message in their film. The message that i believe the film was trying to get across is to care about your community and others in it. This message is very important and i believe that the film is trying to get this message across because of how the seven gunman help defend the small village while up against impossible odds. Overall i really enjoyed this film and thought it had a great message.

When I grew up it was sci-fi that took hold, with the advent of Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, etc. and new, good westerns were few and far between. However, this was a western that slipped through the filter and struck me as such a good movie. Excellent acting from an all-star cast, an iconic score and archetypal script all contributed to being wonderful entertainment as well as a top-notch production.Having seen literally over a thousand movies, one of the highest praises I can give is to say I still vividly remember scenes decades later. The Magnificent Seven has quite a few scenes that fall under that category.
