Overly celebrated, but the gun fights are among the best ever in a Western.

Very nearly a classic, this Americanization of Akira Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai does a good job of mirroring the major themes and attitudes of the original while re-creating that monumental film in an occidental setting.

Sturges' remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai is always worth a look, mainly for the performances of McQueen, Bronson, Coburn and Vaughn.

Classic shoot-'em-up not for young viewers.

One of the most iconic Westerns.

Bernstein's score is one for the ages. This film, however, is not.

This film may well be the best western of 1960.

John Sturges remake of Kurosawa's masterpiece, Seven Samurai, is enjoyable on its own terms due to the stellar cast, not to mention Elmer Bernstein's score, but it helps to know the Japansese classic.

There is a heap of fine acting and some crackling good direction by John Sturges mostly in the early stages, during formation of the central septet.

Even with some highly fetching Mexican scenery in color, this United Artists release, thrusting Yul Brynner well to the fore, is a pallid, pretentious and overlong reflection of the Japanese original.

What was wonderful in the Kurosawa film -- the recruiting and training of the mercenaries -- is just dead time here.

Director John Sturges was extremely fortunate in securing a near-perfect cast for this enduringly popular western reworking of Japanese classic Seven Samurai.
