This movie is one of the most awful and terrible movie remakes EVER.
I mean, obviously there was no way any remake of could be as good as The Seven Samurai itself.

But this? Seriously?

First of all, the *beep* MUSIC was so *beep* annoying.
characters boring and I didn't know any of them by name.
The crazy "samurai" was annoying, stupid and retarded (unlike in the original).
The "samurai" were using guns. GUNS. *beep* GUNS, no swords. GUNS.
The mexicans were all wearing clean clothers just to be against the "dirty" mexicans cliché. How *beep* ridiculous .

It's just such a typical Hollywood movie, wanna be heart-warming, PG-13 family western film. I simply can't express how much I hate this movie. I had bellyache and got sick while watching this *beep*

This movie gets a 4/10

I watched it expecting to see some great epic. While it wasn't bad, my expectations were just too high and I felt kind of let down.

"Typical Hollywood movie, wannabe heart-warming PG-13 western fillum".

That's pretty much an adequate description of it.

No, great movie, great score, great acting, great dialogue, great direction by John Sturges. That said, you don't have to agree, but hate it? That's just silly.

Sorry, but I prefer SANJURO to SEVEN SAMURAI. SS is a classic, but it's also one of those movies, like Shakespeare, that you're SUPPOSED to like, and if you don't care for it as much as people think you should, they mock you.

BTW, give me a Hollywood movie from the Golden Age. They knew how to make real entertainment and real cinema back then. Wish today's filmmakers would copy them more often.

The samurai/western mashup RED SUN is fun, as is the gangster movie YAKUZA with Robert Mitchum.
