I had to put in a little effort at the beginning to continue watching ( I still have not a clue what the herse was about) but once the familiar faces started to appear the notion that this would be a good watch, did in fact, cross my mind. And I was right. Yul Brynner was the best. I'm used to watching him open his big mouth, "etc, etc, etc." but his ultra cool attitude was only the refinement of his demeanor and amenity. Steve McQueen... ahem..."McKing" was like royalty in this movie. Every time he smirked at the foolish kid (I forget his name) was a jewel in the masterpiece. Ahhh. Facial expressions. Can't live without them. Don't forget Charles Bronson and the three stooges. And James as the deadliest knife thrower. Good western, I believe.

There is a feeling of growth to the characters that really branches throughout the film that makes you film as if you've just been on a monumental journey.

undoubtedly one of the best westerns ever...and what awesome lines: "if god did not want them sheared, he would not have made them sheep" or "only the dead are without fear"...one thing i really like is that for a flick made in 1960 the villagers are...

The movie that made A listers of six of the seven actors. Who was Brad Dexter anyway?

(read more) The ultimate action ensemble comes together for a fantastic western adaptation of (of all things) a classic samurai movie with all the right elements. Brynner, Bronson and McQueen play exciting experienced heroes, Horst Bucholtz plays an attractive young gun with just the right youth and vigor, and the eccentric performances of Coburn and Vaughn fill out the gang. With a simple story but exciting cinematography, good characters, and the greatest western musical score to hit the speakers at any cinema, The Magnificent Seven is an American classic.

Hardcore cast ... great story ... great soundtrack

Pretty awesome. Good plotting, characters and especially dialogue, and not so much about the action surprisingly. Stray observations - those stupid goddamn kids! And damn if Robert Vaughn doesn't look and sound like Will Forte a bunch of times in ... (read more) Pretty awesome.
