Chris Stuckmann reviews The Magnificent Seven, starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Byung-Hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Martin Sensmeier, Haley Bennett, Matt Bomer, Peter Sarsgaard. Directed by Antoine Fuqua.
The Ridiculous Six
The Magnificent Seven
The Hateful Eight
One of those things just doesn't belong here!
The Fantastic Four and The Furious Five?
Believe it or not The Ridiculous Six wasn't as horrible as most thought it would be.
the fucking five, the fantastic 4, the tree amigos, the dynamic duo, the one
There's also Fast Five
It's going to be a real shocker when someone finally casts Chris Pratt as a villain.
CaptainTaco97 go watch the trailer for the kid
That's what they should've done in "Passengers"
The kid is amazing to u gotta watch that
Casino Royal was PG13? My balls are still aching from that flick!
Are you sure Daddy Derek didn't contribute to that ache at all?
Cool Cat Saves Your Balls
probably only five people here actually got that reference
I'm one! :D
me too
Don't forget the best remake of The Seven Samurai; A Bug's Life!
How about the anime Samurai Seven?
And The Three Amigos!
The Avengers is also kind of a loose remake
JLA first appeared in the year 1960. Avengers, in 1963. Seven Samurai was released in the year 1954.
***** can't we all agree that Seven Samurai is the first team up movie of all time and it inspired others like it?
Chris, the review was MAGNIFICENT.
Thanks for the likes guys.
The fuck?
Malaikat31 Sorry for triggering you with the comment. Now go back to your safe space in your moms basement.
Yea
Please...nobody like this...its...too...punny
Fuck you dude
So far so good.
Bot
reminds me of this guy I knew who fell off of a five story building, and as he went down each floor people inside heard him say 'so far so good'
The Ridiculous 6
The Magnificent 7
The Hateful Eight
The best western trilogy since the Dollars Trilogy
@Adi SONIGRA I think it's a fun time if you don't take it seriously
fish bas Or if you’re high as shit like me
the Lone Ranger
"VINCENT DI-UH-NO-FRIO"??? Pretty sure it's Di-nah'-frio.
none of them
Well you would know. Brian must have learned the name from early Matt Damon. Everything is ah in Boston.
dio no frio.
"Do nofrio" (I'm Italian)
Chris mispronounces things a lot. A common one is when he talks about "through-lines" [rhymes with threw lines] which he always says "thOrough-lines" [rhymes with burrow lines] instead.
When Jeremy Jahns and Chris Stuckmann are both singing a film praises, you know it's probably gonna be awesome. I can't wait to see this!
I love your reviews. You bring energy and you are never bias.
Dr.CookiesNeedLoveLikeEverthingDoes what?
hahahahahahahahah
He was a little bias with TASM
cause TASM sucked
He is bias..and he sucks...he's a pretentious snob.
This is one of my most anticipated movies of the fall. I know a Denzel-Fuqua team up is one to watch, so I have high hopes. I just want it to be fun. (Didn't have fun with a certain August superhero movie)
There's nothing "super" about them
To be fair two of the team members had superpowers and the main villains have superpowers too.
You're fucking everywhere
I am everywhere...
Vincent DEONIFRIO? Jesus ,you sure butchered that pronunciation
(Dom Deluise)
Sarsgard wasn't better, haha.
He's a brave man, normally if I'm not sure how to pronounce something I just say this guy *shows picture*
Most Americans never stop to think how to pronounce names. As a European I am more mindful to make sure I pronounce names correctly. I just love how most Americans with Polish, German, Swedish or French names cant even properly pronounce their own names - so I am not surprised they dont care about other people's names :D
To be fair, it's a tough name to pronounce. Chris, I usually like to find videos of either the actor themselves or an interviewer pronounce the name before I make my videos. Just a little tip from one creator to another!
Have you guys ever noticed that "a bugs life" is the same story as "seven samurai"?
Mind blown
Humm your right, kinda sort of. At least in the beginning, yeah they have to go out and find warriors to help defend their villiage from a gang. Where it differs is that they decided to go with the whole bit of him finding circus bugs and them pretending to be warriors. Thus instead of a noble stand off we get them trying to make a bird :P
Duuude
Duuude
Or The Three Amigos lol
Hmmm. I guess it isn't MAGNIFICENT. Sounds more like a SEVEN out of ten.
get out
Boooo
Fóqui iu módafóca
[sighhhhhh] goddammit
Fuck you
Who else hates how %99 of modern hollywood is filled with remakes, reboots and sequels
literally everyone you're not special
Now be careful. If you create a new original movie and someone wants to reboot it years later, tell Hollywood to fuck off and leave it alone.
I hate that people say stuff like this, yet, no one went to go see the Nice Guys.
Not if its rebooted by jj Abrams
Original meme
Anytime he says the directors last name i think "fuck wad"
Lord farquad!
The last time I came this early...
*CHRIS SNAPPED ME!* 😭😭😭
This joke does still exist?
_The meeeeeeeemes never die!!!_
These guys in the comments really tell it to you huh
(-__-)
What? Were all of the Harambe comments taken?
Why aren't there any more hilariocity reviews?
He should do "Gods of Egypt".
Talk about a bleached movie.
as an Egypt nerd, that film was physically painful to watch.
+T-Man279 he did
Deandre Pocu We mean a Hilariocoty review
I didn't think D'nofrio was over the top in Daredevil.
hes literally a cartoon madman in daredevil, his accent is laughable
Nick Moradi We must not have watched the same thing. He was absolutely menacing in Daredevil.
"va-va, vanessa. where is va-va vanessa?" he's a caricature, but in the best way possible.
He is very overthtop in DD, beautifully overthetop.
WESLEY!!
I’ve always really admired Antoine Fuqua as a director, mainly because he’s always taking stabs at different kinds of movies, most directors like Christopher Nolan or Tim Burton have very specific kinds of movies that they like to make, but Antoine Fuqua is always willing to try anything whether it’d be a more heavy, harsh drama like Southpaw or Training Day, a thriller like The Equalizer or just a simple fun action movie like Olympus Has Fallen, and even if some of them aren’t that good I still admire him for being willing to try it, most directors seem to have a comfort zone that they like to stay in but he doesn’t seem to have one, and I thought this movie was a total blast from start to finish, this was 1 of the most fun times I had in the theater in 2016
Like if Chris Stuckmann is better than Jeremy Jahns
Thats like comparing instant mr. noodles to Momofuko ramen
I knew that he was when he didn't try to pander to the DC fanboys with his Suicide Squad review .
No
yes. yes you can
They're about the same as far as quality goes.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about the score and the interesting story behind it. Just before his tragic death, James Horner wrote most of the score behind Fuqua's back before the film was even shot. They had become good friends while working together on Southpaw and the composer became inspired by the script to MS to write the score early on as a gift to the director. Simon Franglen, one of Horner's main assistants, completed the score for the final film during post production.
I loved the classic western cliche music in this movie.
I was most exited for Byung-hun Lee. I, personally, am a HUGE fan of I Saw the Devil, so I was so fucking hyped to see him in this and he definitely delivered.
The final battle in this movie had me holding my breath in amazement at times. Overall great movie.
Didn't have a real need to see this movie but now I am convinced otherwise. This is exactly the reason why I'm here.
i get it you need to be told what to do... some people are sheep like that.. not me personally but to each their own
He didn't need to be told what to watch. He simply changed his mind when Chris gave positive praise to this movie. There's a difference between needing to be told to watch something and considering watching a movie after positive reviews.
No problem that's what I was going for ;)
LORDE OWS you sound like a sheep to me
not saying one word againts the movie, then not giving it an A+.
what, why.
It's Chris's speciality, same with Prison of Azkaban, JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT THE FILM WOULD HAVE TO DO TO GET AN A+ CHRIS!
for being a A+, it has to be a classic or a favourite of chris
Read (or I guess listen) between the lines. He talks about how this movie isn't perfect good drama, but normal fun entertainment. He never praises all aspects into heaven, so some things aren't A+. Listen to how he talks about it, tone of his voice, and you should be able to figure it out for yourself.
Just because a movie doesn't have any noticeable flaws makes it an A+
I always know what grade he will give before he says it.
you can't have a cowboy movie without Walton Goggins, guy is a legend . "who the fuck is daisy domergue?"
What r u saying. Yea u can. He's not a quintessential cowboy movie necessity
Walton Goggins is a God. Hail Goggins
Oh man, I'm gonna send Raylan Givens to you
His name sounds like a Batman villain
Also great fucking actor
3:08 That's not the Magnificent Seven, that's The Good, The Bad, The Weird. One of the best western movies ever made.
That's the same actor who is in The Magnificent Seven though.
I know, Byung-hun Lee is his name. Fantastic actor.
fuck that movie was awesome.
Indeed, imo one of the best western and korean movies out there.
Gods of egypt Hilariocity Please! !!!
I loved the banter between all the characters they were all great together
the ones that try to be first I'm sorry but y'all have no life
They know, but the "first fiends" don't care. They feed on being "first"
Second reply
First reply that ends in a period.
unfinished third repl
bone tomahawk.....there something direrent
You know, i'm starting to wonder why people don't mention Blazing Saddles a lot about great western movies.
Harsh Parmar But man, it's a fun comedy western that has some serious moments and Gene Wilder
yeah that's probably why. but at least when greatest all time comedies get mentioned it's usually no. 1 or right up there.
CoachMikesFilmRoom Yeah, no doubt bout that
honestly it's my favourite western, in the same way hot fuzz is my favourite buddy cop movie
Blazing Saddles was excellent! Love that movie!
When it comes to film there should be R, and PG. Thats it. The PG13 thing is so stupid.
I wholeheartedly agree. PG-13 means nothing especially nowadays
Dusty Gozangas Especially when writers and directors have to limit their creative abilitys and censor themselves for that bullshit. It also makes it unrealistic. If your kids not old enough to watch violent/sexual movies with a few f-bombs then don't take em.
@Fresh Prince Then explain Deadpool.......
PG-13 used to mean something. And was a very good, onscreen deaths that were brutal (blood and gore, not overly excessive but it was there). They've dumbed it down to satisfy the whiny parents. Now they can't even take a piss at adding a drop of blood when shooting a man through the chest several times.
***** They limit themselves just for that particular age group. Thats bullshit. BTW, an age group that likes to laugh and talk during the movie, disrupting everyone around them.
Kids can stick to PG until theyre 13/14 or so, no problem.
You know a movie is good when the only complaint you have is how an old ass Gatling gun has infinitive ammo and a mad range.
Hello TH-cam community! How's it going?
Great!
SHUT THE FUCK UP
getting off work and gonna workout and do homework when I get home
Magnificent
mr. peanutbutter?
I'm 99% sure that the still at 3:07 is from the movie The Good the Bad and the Weird, not the Magnificent Seven.
Anyone else kind of like Fuquas King Arthur?
I Love King Arthur I've got it on Blu-Ray
The ice lake scene is great.
It's a good movie, but the directors cut version is _great._
no.
yes...
"There is just not that much you can do in the western genre, that hasn't been done already." Have you even seen Bone Tomahawk? A mixture of western and horror elements that actually worked very well. That film was definitely refreshing.
This is my birthday movie this year! Thanks Denzel! What a great present! Lol
I think it's only a remake of a remake, not a remake of a remake of a remake - which implies that Seven Samurai is a remake.
Seven samurai is not a remake wtf
Seven Samurai by Kurosawa is the original one...everything after that are all remakes..
Seven Samurai has remakes .. maybe this is a remake of a remake of a remake of Seven Samurai.
Seven Samurai just borrow elements from western type of films. But it's not remake of old western movies.
Can we all appreciate the way Chris pronounces D'Onofrio?
The best duel is in the finale of once upon a time in the West
The Good the Bad and the Ugly ending is unmatched
I honestly think the entire graveyard scene (including the shootout) is the best piece of cinema EVER created. but that's just me
For me it's the Doc Holiday/Johnny Ringo standoff in Tombstone, that scene just oozes cool.
+Joke's On You that's definitely up there, that film had an incredible cast. Michael Biehn is one of the most criminally underused actors in cinema history.
I’m late to comment (obviously) but I loved this film so, so much. The casting was great. The characters were so entertaining to watch.
I do find it kinda funny that you said it was no where near as good as Django, but then gave this an A- and that got an A, so it must be nearly as good, still an enjoyable film ;D
Haha i agree man, and dude i subscribe to you, love your short reviews. And i am going to do something really funny for my review for The Magnificent Seven. Can you please check it out when it's up?
Like the 1960s version this one is really pretty good though just bought it today for 2 dollars
Denoffrio was good in the salton sea plays a sped dealer slash cook named poo bear on account of he has a prospectic nose
I love the genre. Westerns are classic with timeless themes. I truly hope that this movie is a good one because since True Grit and Appaloosa there have been a lot of crummy films straight to DVD.
After the first Magnificent Seven, there was an animated 7 Samurai set in a futuristic universe. I am sure this story has been told about a dozen other times as well.
Chris Pratt being Chris Pratt
One of Fuqua's best movie that is underrated and never gets mentioned is Tears of the Sun. That movie was amazing.
With Bruce Willis?
With Bruce Willis?
Correct
Was bad and really boring
Only person I've heard pronounce Vincent's last name like that
Just saw this movie. A really good western, very old school with awesome action sequences, great characters and some really amazing music.
Why do you pronounce it ''Dee-onofrio''? It's just Donofrio, the ''d'' is the same as in words like ''he'd'' (he would).

You've said in some recent reviews of bad remakes you look for whether a remake does anything new or different compared to the original to justify existing beyond just making money. While I understand you enjoyed it, how do you think it compares to the original magnificent seven?
Unpopular Opinion Ahead | I don't think it deserves an A-, this is way too high of a grade |
Don't burn me at the stake but here are the 3 biggest problems I had with this movie.
1. Dialogue/Script: Some of the lines and dialogue were very poorly written and at times they came off as very awkward, especially during the first half of the movie
2. Characters: There is little or very very late character development in the film. When the 3rd act finally arrives and the action starts. I didn't feel the stakes nor the suspense were high enough. We get some of their back stories very late and by that time I've already lost interest on whether or not the characters will die. Although I do care for some more than others.
3. Pacing: This movie just takes forever to start! The first half of the movie was very slow whether this was intentional or not, it's just missing something. They needed a couple more action set pieces in the first act to really jump start it. If the intention was to build suspense by using a slow pacing then by this I would say that it failed to accomplish this.
What are your thoughts?
So glad this movie was good. I was hoping it would be.
Looking forward to seeing it!
The score by the late, great James Horner is so good!
Like Kurosawa I make mad films
Okay I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a samurai
Fine I guess I'll watch it if it's Stuckmann approved
this movie was fucking awesome. I just wish Ethan hawke had more dialogue with denziel but it was great otherwise.
It was also written by Nic Pizzolato. He's the guy who wrote True Detective. He also has a novel called Galveston that has some absolutely gorgeous writing.
Without spoiling them which is better, THIS or The Hateful Eight.
I watched The Hateful Eight without being familiar with the director's work and without watching many trailers. Yet, I really enjoyed. I'm curious if I'll like this as well.
try to watch Seven Samurai or the original Mag 7 first. Amazing movies.
I think with no doubt Hateful Eight is better even though i haven't watch this movie yet
They're two very different movies. Both are westerns, but in a different way. Mag7 is more action where as hatful8 is more mystery.
Hateful Eight. this was a bit weak. it is deserving of the 60% rating on Rotten Tomatoes
Great review as always and you know you are now one of my favorite critics like Peter Travers. Ty so much and keep those reviews coming.
Vincent D'Onofrio's character was my favorite.
Also, big credit to the sound design team, they somehow made the most satisfying gunshot effect I've ever heard
even though Denzel Washington is a very good actor, he is obviously not a very good character actor. don't get me wrong, he is amazing at acting emotions, but he doesn't really slip into his characters all that well. I always see him in the role
Good Point POA
You don't have a clue bro.
I really appreciate your reviews because they're actually reviews and not [spoiler] discussions or synopsis breakdowns. I find that most TH-camrs these days don't even know how to review movies without spoiling something or another. Like seriously your reviews are less spoilery than the movie trailers.
no lie, this might have not been a drama, but (no spoilers of course no worries) when the shit went down at the end of this film it hit me pretty damn good, i was crying on the inside lol and man, the last scene of conflict in the movie, damn it got me so fired up i actually wanted to fight someone lol cant say that about too many drama films this year...i hear me before you and light bt oceans r super good tho, should i check em out? r either of em good enough for me, a 21 year old guy, to see the art in it and not b scared away by the sappy crap??
As a huge fan of Kurosawa, I was skeptical of this version. Now, I think I just may have to see it.
You forgot to mention Horner's last score which was really good considering he wrote it before the movie was even made.
Chris mis-pronouncing V. D'Onofrio's name was a bit irritating.
well stop being a little bitch all of your life and you wouldnt be so annoyed about something so petty, nerd...
LORDE OWS Anger issues for a little internet man.
Can't remember... it was over a week ago.. catch up
took you a week to come up with that huh? ;)
Meaning you can't read? The previous comments are stated, genius.
So glad to hear this. I love the first remake so was quietly optimistic over this seeing the talent attached. Plus me love me some Westerns!
Vincent who
Right? That pronunciation was strange.
yeah, i always pronounced it, and heard it said as "din-off-rio"
that's how I say it.
Vega
marco bazan Yes
The early reviews on Rotten Tomatoes had me nervous. We've had so many highly anticipated movies that stunk it up this year that I was being to wonder if this was going to follow that trend again. But this review helped calm my nerves. Thanks Chris!
has he had an A+ review this year, tho?
Like 3 I think
Deadpool, Civil War and The Nice Guys.
3 movies
Nice Guys did not deserve an A+. I'm going with a C. it was meh
Cilvil War did not deserve an A+. I'm going with a C. It was meh.
the opening scene before the credits where bouge enters the church and threatens the townspeople before burning the church down was some top notch Villainy!
This movie should be R Rated
Why? The original wasn't and it was a much better movie. An R rating doesn't automatically make a film better
yeah, but in that time, the pg was much better
@@ravesilva to be honest I forgot it was a pg13 movie cause it was more brutal than tons of R rated movies
I appreciate Stuckmanns PASSION for film.
I was nervous he'd say its bad until 1:23 in
the magnficent seven with yul bryner and Steve McQueen is my 2nd fav movie of all time. cant wait to see this
Holy fuck Lootcrate has every youtuber by the balls
Great review Chris, awesome detail having Antoine Fuqua's Movie BluRays in the background ;)
I saw it recently; and thoroughly enjoyed it! :-)
Whenever I hear Chris start talking about a director's past works, talking about how much he enjoys them, I'm always expecting him to say "but..." and the movie be bad. I was not expecting this movie to be good, to be honest. Glad it is.
I'm glad the townspeople don't get their land taken by the bad guys. Now they can return it to the Native Americans.
I'm glad to see Chris addresses the tonal shift between Seven Samurai and what I was picking up from this most recent remake. I'm willing to give it a shot now.
I'm pretty surprised at your score for this. It's a fun movie sure, but to call it "good" is a big stretch. Enjoyable performances were marred by a rushed team building, medicre dialogue, and very very one dimensional characters, right down to an eye-rollingly daft ending and horribly CGed final shot. So an A- is... a bit extreme for such a meh movie. But to each their own I guess.
I give it an A for knowing how to be the kind of movie it wanted to be. Maybe it's not this director's best work, but a mass audience can get a kick out of it. And for Western movies, isn't THAT what makes them popular?
I disagree
To be exact Chris, the "Western" genre is not ONLY about cowboys. We had Western in the latest Bourne, for example :D - Western is a style of film with particular things that a lot of movies, often action movies, have in common and don't have to be about old west necessarily.
Was it ....? magnificent? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I know I'm funny asf
I was actually avoiding watching this review before I saw the film... and then I saw your review of it on RT. Didn't see it in theaters, but I will see it as soon as I can when it comes out on Blu-ray.
So whats a movie that Rated R thats has gore and blood but is also funny and a fun time to watch?
Tucker and Dale vs Evil
deadpool?
anything from the cornetto trilogy (shaun of the dead, hot fuzz,the worlds end)
Any of the Hammer films from the 70s.
Hammer huh never heard of em.
Dont forget the retelling Battle beyond the Stars that had Robert Vaughn playing the part he played in The Magnificent Seven original
Glad you enjoyed it I was really worried this was gonna be bad.
Also your pronunciation of D'onofrio is hella wack
Chirs if you really like this Film... You need to watch The Good, the Bad, the Weird.... Great film.. Very fun film... It stars Lee Byung-hun who is in Magnificent Seven....
I thought this was a spoof of the hateful 8. Please like if you thought the same. i am curious to see if that was just me..
It's just you. I saw the Yul Brenner version and Seven Samurai.
You need to watch the original movie, it's incredible. Its a very fun movie and it just seems like they liked what they were doing. I think it's one of the best movies of the 60s
One big thing to note is this film kinda-sorta has the final film score by the late James Horner. A lot of the content is arranged and worked on by a number of other composers working together to pick up where he left off, but most of the themes are his. This makes the film very significant in a way, despite its popcorn flick-y nature. RIP Horner.
100% bill shit theres no amount of drugs in the world to make this movie good
The screenshot at 3:08 is actually from a Korean western film called "The good the the bad the weird". It stars the same actor Lee Byung Hun and is a really good film. I wonder if Chris has seen it. Regardless, I would recommend you guys to watch the good the bad the weird, it's an awesome movie.
This Movie was just boring. Utterly boring and predictable in every single scene. I didn't feel entertained at any time. Good performances can't save a bad plot, for me at least
