“Now Blackstones are good. union-bustin’, back-shootin’, homesteaders ‘n’ women, but…you put ‘em up against some REAL men, men that know what they’re doin’, you SURE you don’t want my gun?”
I had asked Vincent d'Onofrio on Twitter when that movie came out... He said his performance was inspired by a specific person but he wouldn't say who.
I was so overpowered by the star power of the main characters that I failed to notice that this movie was the first on-screen reunion for Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke since Training Day. EDIT: ...and also Antoine Fuqua (director).
I love this scene of the movie, showing the power and skill of a warrant officer, a mountain man, a Comanche warrior, a Korean assassin, an ex-Southern sharpshooter, a desperado, and gunslinging ladysman.
The sharpshooter is clearly suffering from PTSD and it’s beautifully displayed in this scene. I love this scene and how good it is displaying the skills of everyone except him. He is suffering from his own demons and they do such a good job at it. I also like how the movie doesn’t have the characters completely ignore it nor do they really hate him for it either.
Since Goodnight Robicheaux is the ex- Southern sharpshooter, Who are the names of the Warrant Officer, the Mountain Man, the Comanche warrior, the Korean assassin, the Desperado and the Gun-slinging ladies man?
This was a fun film. Don't extrapolate anything from it. They got together a pretty great cast, really...and just had fun. It's a comic book version of the west.
Vincent D'Onofrio has a real knack for playing eccentric characters who can pick a grown man up by the neck and chuck them across the room. Jack spends the whole fight with a longarm on his back and just prefers to charge in close.
I like Chris Pratt's facial expressions in this. He portrays the young guy of the group itching for the fight to kick off very well in this. At the same time he still is a skillful gun fighter, and not a crazy guy with a gun.
@@nepntzerZer Na, you're just another woke white hating, self loathing fool who only hates him and trashes him because you can't stand that he has morals and principles that he sticks to. More than likely because you believe in nothing and are moral-less so when you look at him it only highlights what you lack so you hate him...like looking into a truth mirror. Instead of accepting that it's YOU that's at fault you instead hate the mirror.
People don't realize the havoc Comanche attacks amounted to back then they stagnated the Mexican army and they was absolutely terrified of them and wouldn't go near there territory
The power of this scene is in its simplicity. It takes you on a ride that draws your focus into the inner dialogue of the characters. It is truly a perfect build up.
@@sebaspinto6639speak for yourself bud, the movie has cool scenes but as a whole it was pretty dog shit. Just cuz Chris Pratt or Denzel is in it, doesn’t mean it automatically qualifies as a good movie
Apparently you're not into high action gunfight scenes. Not surprising you didn't enjoy it. This was a fantastic movie, true shame you couldn't appreciate it for what it was. A very well made movie. It's just not your type I imagine.
How Denzel cut himself off to put into their minds a chance to reconsider the course of action. "You sure, you don't want my gun?!" Coldest line behind, "do you feel like you're in charge?" And the delivery
He really is the king of cool. If it was real life, and you came up against a foe who looked so totally unfazed, your best bet would be to throw your gun away and run.
Unfortunately that's part of the job..☠️ But if wasn't for stunt actors...75 % of the movies wouldn't have been made. Stunt actors 🏆 Some people may not realize that but the 1st stunt actors were actually unemployed cowboys..
Two things... 1) since McCann was killed by Vasquez and Faraday says he's going to be murdered by the world's greatest lover... does that make Vasquez the world's greatest lover? 2) Gavin refers to Chisolm as 'devil's even as he's trying to save the town... but earlier in the movie, he called Bogue a reasonable businessman... never quite sat right wth me.
Denzel is so cold in this scene. Man is amazing. Whatever role he plays. I always know he will be amazing. Damn it never die Denzel. I can't live without you in movies.
I know some people may take issue with this, but I really love how this movie fully leans into using character tropes/stereotypes from the Western genre to define each member of the main cast, and how these trope characters make each of them distinct and easily identifiable from one another. It's also awesome how each character has their weapons holstered on their person as a reflection of their characters: -You have the cool, law-abiding bounty hunter/warrant officer with a dark past, who holsters his single peacemaker in a reverse grip on his dominant side in a way that an unorthodox yet honourable samurai would - The former confederate sharpshooter, still wearing pieces of his old colours and haunted by the demons of his past, sporting the long rifle comfortably and his distinguished ivory handled sidearm on the opposite side to Denzel's- his former adversary and best friend. The flashy side-arm is just for show, lending doubt to this character's ability, while his long rifle perfectly reflects the skill he has mastered best. -The smooth-talking gambler/con man, who treats his guns like his lovers, and intimately sports his main piece at his right hip and his secondary across his mid-section like the women who often hang off of him, as well as a concealed piece on his person, characterizing a very unpredictable nature and the playboy attitude that underpins his character. -The tall, outlaw vaquero with the ribbed red vest and lasso, an obviously dangerous, multi-skilled bank robber who sports both his pieces on either side of his hips in the traditional, gun-fighter style. - The Korean blade user: a clear homage to Kuroda Jubei's character from the western classic Red Sun- a man from Asia that is relatively unknown to most in the West, who prioritizes blades to the point they are not only the most dominant weapon on his person, but that he's faster with them than a pistol and rifle. - The massive, hulking bushman or mountain man from a dark, bygone era of the frontier days, versed in the Bible, whose tomahawk and hunter's knife are his main tools alongside his freakish strength, which he has used in combination with his weapons to hunt. -The young, adventurous Native American from the Comanche tribe, most famous for their history of warfare and conquest over other tribes and American settlers, who is on his own quest that leads him into the path of our heroes, and decides to join them as their most distinct outsider. He wears his colours with pride and adheres to the ways of his clan, like your traditional samurai set in his ways.
@@Wazzoo1 Indeed. Quite a diverse society. The one thing traditional Westerns get a little wrong of course is having whole towns cowed by small numbers of pistol wearing bad guys. The West was largely settled by Civil War veterans... and a man who had "Seen the Elephant" at Shiloh, or Antietam or a hundred other places was not likely to be intimidated by some bozo on a horse with a handgun.
@@alainarchambault2331 I have no problems with that. So many other productions, both in the West AND East, have used the Seven Samurai story as a blueprint for their own creations. However, while Japan's tropes were specifically geared towards the samurai and warriors in their story, the Magnificent Seven is based on solely Western tropes, which is fine given their setting.
I love how this builds for 4 minutes straight with maybe 4 bad guys standing around. Then the fight starts and dudes just start spawning out of every door like it's wolfenstein
The title is the same as the original movie which gives an impression as if it’s a remake but the story and the characters are very different I wouldn’t call it a remake as some people refer to, my favourite scenes are the first fight which stimulates enough adrenaline to drag you throughout the story and the last fight which gives you a satisfactory outcome, I am going to watch it for another dozen of times I recommend it to any western movie fans as it is magnificently done.
Me and a buddy at work have talked about this, and we're pretty sure that these "renowned" sharpshooters in this age were the people that could freaking see. We hadn't developed good methods for correcting sight yet. Obviously seeing clearly is a *huge* advantage in a gun fight. Also, the men of the wild west and all mythology before was probably based around people who were essentially what we consider olympian athletes now. There is the possibility that they are *so incredibly good* at something that literally no normal human can contest them. And that's how legends are born. Achilles? Ambidextrous and an olympian-athlete level of physical ability. The list goes on. All the things we take for granted now are what made people great in prior times. If you could see without aid and were ambidextrous and athletic, you were probably in the top 5% of soldiers to ever exist. Imagine running a race against Bolt. That's what it would be like to duel Wyatt Earp or fight Achilles. You have a 0% chance of winning. It's not supernatural, but they are *gifted* at this thing.
this isnt entirely correct, although im sure genetics and luck help a lot. Virgil Earp was a one armed sheriff, and many lawman, were in fact older men anyways.
I've never seen a remake of a classic movie that was any good, but this one is the exception. From production to directing to casting. It was magnificent(pun intended).
feel the same, loved the original back from the 60ties with yul brunner, steve mcqueen and charles bronson, but love this one as well, very worthy remake…
I really like some of the closeup shots on the faces, its a obvious homage to Sergio Leone who used extreme closeups in his Spaghetti Western films with Clint Eastwood in the 1960's.
@@michaelsublet3283 as in the Magnificent Seven, which is technically the original screen production as it was made jnto a film before the Original story of the Seven Samurai was.
Had my doubts when this came out. Grew up watching the original and in my mind it was the perfect western. Thought that this would be a waste of time and couldn't compare with the original. I was wrong. You end up liking all the characters and feel it when they die. Sequel please!
I won't call Vincent D'Onofrio underrated because I think we all know he's incredibly talented. But I see him too rarely. And I really would love him to act opposite of Stephen Root in some character acting masterpiece of a scene.
under used, the term "under rated" is over used for everyone we all know are great actors. but its him not being plastered in every film or show that makes him extra awesome!
@@joperhop It may not be the technical definition, but when I refer to something/someone being underrated it's to denote the specific subject not receiving the attention and praise that it deserves. Yes, many/most people who know Vincent when his name comes up, but the fact is most modern-day movie goers don't even know who he is - let alone being able to rate his acting chops. Due largely to the fact he's not in many movies/shows since he left "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." With the combo of his health problems and how he can/could be difficult to work with, has prevented him from getting major roles in major films With the few that he is in, like this movie, he's never the main character. Which is why i definitely consider Vincent to be underrated as hell. Even critics and movie-buffs prolly wouldn't rank him in the top 20 to 25 best actors of the last 25 or so years, whether because they completely forget that he exists, or they simply don't think think he's good enough to make that list even though he imo without question should be. There are tons of actors besides Vincent though - who are similarly considered by many/most people to be good or even great actos, and yet in my book they are more brilliant, (sometimes significantly so), than what they are already considered. Actors like Val Kilmer, Travis Fimmel, Ben Foster, Idris Elba, and Mel Gibson spring to mind. All of them are for the most part considered to be good/great actors but imo are even better that how they're made out to be.
Watched this in theaters. Me and my wife busted out laughing when Jack said "I'll say a prayer for you. A little prayer.", only because it sounded like the guy from Bad Lip Readings did a voice over of him lol.
Me and gf's dad saw it second day it was out. We both liked the old spaghetti westerns and the classics. He's gone now but a great memory was made and a great time was had. We both thought Vincent stole every scene he was in. edit: forgot to use past tense on a verb, miss the old guy.
What's at stake? Where's the risk? Why should I get excited or get thrilled in the action. There is no risk. No cunning in actions of protagonists. In For a Few Dollars More, main character plays for both sides, trying to scam both families for money. After his shtick got discovered and realised his mistake, he makes an armor from a cart vagon and tempts main villain to aim for his heart. In the The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, both Blondie and Tuco constantly play with eachother, trying to convince/deceive each other. In the end of story we found out that Blondie removed bullets feom Tuco's gun. In the previous scenes they show us Tuco is probably the best of the three gun slingers, so Blondie knew his abilities and knew he cant handle Tuco. Again, about the strength and weaknesses, in the second movie of trilogy we see that while main character is a much faster and cunning shooter, colonel is much more accurate and experienced. They both play with each other and help each other to succeed. What is going on here. Every shot lands, almost everyone is a sharpshooter. There is no tactics, no cunning, no quick thinking, they just walk around the streets and shoot people. I just remember the second movie of the trilogy, in the bank heist scene both sides make elaborate plans, and actually know each other and how would they react.
Think about Spartacus, rebels use flaming logs to break the formation of Romans. It's ridiculous, I know but they do something to overcome a problem. Let's see Braveheart, Wallace tell his friends to make long wooden spears to counter heavy cavalry. There is a problem, and we see him trying to overcome this. Not to mention Django where protagonists use explosives in creative ways multiple times. Here they shoot. They just shoot. They walk around in the streets and shoot. Nice and creative. 10/10 movie. HECK, there was even a Star Trek TNG western episode where every NPC becames Data. Watch that episode. Both the planning and skills of the protagonists used to complement each other.
@@hannibalburgers477 This movie was all about the destination, not the voyage. Pretty much all characters learned something and evolved beyond themselves, atoning for their sins. Some died in the process. Except for Denzel. His character was all about good old fashion revenge.
I think you doubt how incredibly good some people who lived by the gun were. Even people today who do it as a hobby can pull off unimaginable stunts and accuracy. People this attuned to spatial awareness don't see only with their eyes, they feel the geometry everywhere. Every one of these shots was reasonable. they're not shooting at 200 yards, they're shooting at 10. MOA has nothing to do with it.
Eyesight. I've held for years that the greatest marksmen of all time were simply men that could see. The last 400 years? Billy the kid, Wyatt Earp, etc... simply just men that could see naturally. I'm the only person in my family with good vision that didn't need it medically assisted. And Achilles was just well-sighted and ambidextrous. Most of mythology was just normal humans encountering what we would call today "Olympians." They're not "superhuman", you just suck at the thing they're *really* good at."
This movie and the original one are my favorites. I love this seen. There were men who thought that they were bad and people were afraid of them. But when you think you’re bad, there’s always someone who is much, much, and even worse than you.
I'm not gonna go all literal on here, plenty have done that already. I've watched this movie countless times, and although the entire movie is incredible my favorite part is when the horses look up, see a body falling toward them then automatically take off in opposite directions. I can almost imagine in their snorting, what they're saying to each other. I've no idea why I find that so hilarious, I just do.
@@haskapaska that's a damn lie, now sure you're gonna be asking alot of a pistol to consistently hit shots at anything over 75 yards (68-69 meters) unless you've got *ALOT* of practice and you know your weapon inside-out but that can be said of pistols even today. Average ranges here look to about 30-50 yards (27-45 meters), even as a pretty inexperienced pistol shooter I may not put every round center of mass but I'm feeling pretty confident I could make that shot and these aren't rookies. Considering Henry rifles were using pistol rounds and could still reach out and touch someone at 200 yards (182 meters) and Springfield breechloaders and rifles of the era could reach out comfortably to around anywhere from 400-800 yards and hit accurately? I wouldn't take my chances unless I *really* felt I was the biggest man in the room.
I remember the hype from the trailers and being genuinely excited to see this with my dad because we both loved the original. What this lacked was the dialogue and emotional charge from the writing that the first one had and the whole movie had a sort of, clunky and stumbling feel to its pacing. The cast was phenomenal but somehow, somewhere their performances were neither held up or strung together tightly enough during post to tell a seamless story in my opinion but it's been forever since I've watched it. Did anyone else notice the shortcomings having that same affect? It's hard to explain it because the movie had everything going for it but it just hit mid instead of soaring with its potential.
Yeah, I agree. I think the shortcomings had to do with focusing on too many characters. The director had problems bringing all the parts together. I like the movie, but it would've been better if it hadn't been a remake of the Magnificent Seven and they could've just focused on the best characters.
"but if you put em up against some real men then....., You sure you don't want my gun?" Also the "oh he's my man servant" then the look his eyes literally told a whole sentence when he looked at Denzel his eyes said (man servant? Me? Bro I'm the deadliest person on r team why I gotta pretend to be the man servant?) Lmaaaao
I've never been too keen on _remakes_ --- but THIS, this was better than the original. What a stellar cast! Love Vincent D'Onofrio in this, I barely recognized him, and of course, the MASTER himself *DENZEL* !!! This is a film I will be watching again & again for sure! 🤠
A lot of you don't seem to realize this is a remake of a remake and the premise has always been the same. Seven exceptional warriors come together to face down dozens of plebs.
The thing this movie did well for an action movie was in setting up the main characters. We only get scattered lines and pieces of backstories but it’s exactly enough to tell us what we need to know about each of them, then it lets the viewer fill in the rest for themselves. All the while it gets to the good parts, showing the guys interacting and playing off each other, letting the bond build. So when we see them fight together we’re all the more invested in the ride. It’s not citizen Kane, but for an action western movie it’s top notch
These gunman did a better job than the first film, which is saying something when you see the actors who played in the first film. May God richly bless everyone ✝️🇺🇸!
"I'll say a prayer for you. You see, a little prayer". This line is priceless.
I love you Vincent. 😍

It's also awesome how each character has their weapons holstered on their person as a reflection of their characters:
-You have the cool, law-abiding bounty hunter/warrant officer with a dark past, who holsters his single peacemaker in a reverse grip on his dominant side in a way that an unorthodox yet honourable samurai would
- The former confederate sharpshooter, still wearing pieces of his old colours and haunted by the demons of his past, sporting the long rifle comfortably and his distinguished ivory handled sidearm on the opposite side to Denzel's- his former adversary and best friend. The flashy side-arm is just for show, lending doubt to this character's ability, while his long rifle perfectly reflects the skill he has mastered best.
-The smooth-talking gambler/con man, who treats his guns like his lovers, and intimately sports his main piece at his right hip and his secondary across his mid-section like the women who often hang off of him, as well as a concealed piece on his person, characterizing a very unpredictable nature and the playboy attitude that underpins his character.
-The tall, outlaw vaquero with the ribbed red vest and lasso, an obviously dangerous, multi-skilled bank robber who sports both his pieces on either side of his hips in the traditional, gun-fighter style.
- The Korean blade user: a clear homage to Kuroda Jubei's character from the western classic Red Sun- a man from Asia that is relatively unknown to most in the West, who prioritizes blades to the point they are not only the most dominant weapon on his person, but that he's faster with them than a pistol and rifle.
- The massive, hulking bushman or mountain man from a dark, bygone era of the frontier days, versed in the Bible, whose tomahawk and hunter's knife are his main tools alongside his freakish strength, which he has used in combination with his weapons to hunt.
-The young, adventurous Native American from the Comanche tribe, most famous for their history of warfare and conquest over other tribes and American settlers, who is on his own quest that leads him into the path of our heroes, and decides to join them as their most distinct outsider. He wears his colours with pride and adheres to the ways of his clan, like your traditional samurai set in his ways.

The title is the same as the original movie which gives an impression as if it’s a remake but the story and the characters are very different I wouldn’t call it a remake as some people refer to, my favourite scenes are the first fight which stimulates enough adrenaline to drag you throughout the story and the last fight which gives you a satisfactory outcome, I am going to watch it for another dozen of times I recommend it to any western movie fans as it is magnificently done.
And you have to remember that the original The Magnificent Seven is a western version of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.
Me and a buddy at work have talked about this, and we're pretty sure that these "renowned" sharpshooters in this age were the people that could freaking see. We hadn't developed good methods for correcting sight yet. Obviously seeing clearly is a *huge* advantage in a gun fight. Also, the men of the wild west and all mythology before was probably based around people who were essentially what we consider olympian athletes now. There is the possibility that they are *so incredibly good* at something that literally no normal human can contest them. And that's how legends are born. Achilles? Ambidextrous and an olympian-athlete level of physical ability. The list goes on. All the things we take for granted now are what made people great in prior times. If you could see without aid and were ambidextrous and athletic, you were probably in the top 5% of soldiers to ever exist.
Imagine running a race against Bolt. That's what it would be like to duel Wyatt Earp or fight Achilles. You have a 0% chance of winning. It's not supernatural, but they are *gifted* at this thing.
Superb classification!
I love the mention of Achilles and natural born super human ability plus so much more.
Incredible detail and deep thought.
Eyesight is usually naturally corrected by UV light outdoors. It's our indoor lifestyle that causes most farsightedness.
Most definitely gifted, not just physically but mentally as well. And great intuition
this isnt entirely correct, although im sure genetics and luck help a lot. Virgil Earp was a one armed sheriff, and many lawman, were in fact older men anyways.
I get what you're saying but you know Achilles was a myth right, he wasn't a real person.
I've never seen a remake of a classic movie that was any good, but this one is the exception. From production to directing to casting. It was magnificent(pun intended).
feel the same, loved the original back from the 60ties with yul brunner, steve mcqueen and charles bronson, but love this one as well, very worthy remake…
6:38 so fun to watch him spin those revolvers back into the holsters.
That revolver spin that Vazquez did is super hard and not everybody even experts can do it.
I really like some of the closeup shots on the faces, its a obvious homage to Sergio Leone who used extreme closeups in his Spaghetti Western films with Clint Eastwood in the 1960's.
Absolutely loved this remake. Awesome cast.
The Original is a great movie. But I think this is a very good movie. I think people just don't give it a chance to judge it on its own merits.
The Original as in the Seven Samurai?
@@michaelsublet3283 that would be another one worth watching, and yes those are better movies as well, better lighting, better shots, better acting...
@@michaelsublet3283 as in the Magnificent Seven, which is technically the original screen production as it was made jnto a film before the Original story of the Seven Samurai was.
Dont hate me, but 1960 version was crap! Seven Samurai`s was a good movie. This one is a great one!
@@ozymandias7392 I'm not following you here so figure I'm missing something. 1954 and 1960.
Had my doubts when this came out. Grew up watching the original and in my mind it was the perfect western. Thought that this would be a waste of time and couldn't compare with the original. I was wrong. You end up liking all the characters and feel it when they die. Sequel please!
I won't call Vincent D'Onofrio underrated because I think we all know he's incredibly talented. But I see him too rarely. And I really would love him to act opposite of Stephen Root in some character acting masterpiece of a scene.
I think it’s because he’s got an ongoing health issue it’s why you barely see hi.
under used, the term "under rated" is over used for everyone we all know are great actors. but its him not being plastered in every film or show that makes him extra awesome!
@@joperhop It may not be the technical definition, but when I refer to something/someone being underrated it's to denote the specific subject not receiving the attention and praise that it deserves. Yes, many/most people who know Vincent when his name comes up, but the fact is most modern-day movie goers don't even know who he is - let alone being able to rate his acting chops. Due largely to the fact he's not in many movies/shows since he left "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." With the combo of his health problems and how he can/could be difficult to work with, has prevented him from getting major roles in major films With the few that he is in, like this movie, he's never the main character. Which is why i definitely consider Vincent to be underrated as hell. Even critics and movie-buffs prolly wouldn't rank him in the top 20 to 25 best actors of the last 25 or so years, whether because they completely forget that he exists, or they simply don't think think he's good enough to make that list even though he imo without question should be. There are tons of actors besides Vincent though - who are similarly considered by many/most people to be good or even great actos, and yet in my book they are more brilliant, (sometimes significantly so), than what they are already considered. Actors like Val Kilmer, Travis Fimmel, Ben Foster, Idris Elba, and Mel Gibson spring to mind. All of them are for the most part considered to be good/great actors but imo are even better that how they're made out to be.
I really enjoyed this movie, I don't understand why it got tore apart critically. Just straight forward, no bs, good writing
Well it was a remake of a classic movie that was a remake of another classic movie. So maybe it was tiring to see it remade again.
Watched this in theaters. Me and my wife busted out laughing when Jack said "I'll say a prayer for you. A little prayer.", only because it sounded like the guy from Bad Lip Readings did a voice over of him lol.
Me and gf's dad saw it second day it was out. We both liked the old spaghetti westerns and the classics. He's gone now but a great memory was made and a great time was had. We both thought Vincent stole every scene he was in. edit: forgot to use past tense on a verb, miss the old guy.
What I like about this movie is that they've got a great accuracy in shooting, especially with the revolvers
What's at stake? Where's the risk? Why should I get excited or get thrilled in the action. There is no risk. No cunning in actions of protagonists.
In For a Few Dollars More, main character plays for both sides, trying to scam both families for money. After his shtick got discovered and realised his mistake, he makes an armor from a cart vagon and tempts main villain to aim for his heart.
In the The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, both Blondie and Tuco constantly play with eachother, trying to convince/deceive each other. In the end of story we found out that Blondie removed bullets feom Tuco's gun. In the previous scenes they show us Tuco is probably the best of the three gun slingers, so Blondie knew his abilities and knew he cant handle Tuco.
Again, about the strength and weaknesses, in the second movie of trilogy we see that while main character is a much faster and cunning shooter, colonel is much more accurate and experienced. They both play with each other and help each other to succeed.
What is going on here. Every shot lands, almost everyone is a sharpshooter. There is no tactics, no cunning, no quick thinking, they just walk around the streets and shoot people.
I just remember the second movie of the trilogy, in the bank heist scene both sides make elaborate plans, and actually know each other and how would they react.
Think about Spartacus, rebels use flaming logs to break the formation of Romans. It's ridiculous, I know but they do something to overcome a problem.
Let's see Braveheart, Wallace tell his friends to make long wooden spears to counter heavy cavalry. There is a problem, and we see him trying to overcome this.
Not to mention Django where protagonists use explosives in creative ways multiple times.
Here they shoot. They just shoot. They walk around in the streets and shoot. Nice and creative. 10/10 movie.
HECK, there was even a Star Trek TNG western episode where every NPC becames Data. Watch that episode. Both the planning and skills of the protagonists used to complement each other.
@@hannibalburgers477 This movie was all about the destination, not the voyage.
Pretty much all characters learned something and evolved beyond themselves, atoning for their sins.
Some died in the process.
Except for Denzel. His character was all about good old fashion revenge.
I think you doubt how incredibly good some people who lived by the gun were. Even people today who do it as a hobby can pull off unimaginable stunts and accuracy. People this attuned to spatial awareness don't see only with their eyes, they feel the geometry everywhere. Every one of these shots was reasonable. they're not shooting at 200 yards, they're shooting at 10. MOA has nothing to do with it.
Eyesight. I've held for years that the greatest marksmen of all time were simply men that could see. The last 400 years? Billy the kid, Wyatt Earp, etc... simply just men that could see naturally. I'm the only person in my family with good vision that didn't need it medically assisted. And Achilles was just well-sighted and ambidextrous. Most of mythology was just normal humans encountering what we would call today "Olympians." They're not "superhuman", you just suck at the thing they're *really* good at."
This movie and the original one are my favorites. I love this seen. There were men who thought that they were bad and people were afraid of them. But when you think you’re bad, there’s always someone who is much, much, and even worse than you.
I'm not gonna go all literal on here, plenty have done that already. I've watched this movie countless times, and although the entire movie is incredible my favorite part is when the horses look up, see a body falling toward them then automatically take off in opposite directions. I can almost imagine in their snorting, what they're saying to each other. I've
no idea why I find that so hilarious, I just do.
"Aaaah! Don't get hit by the falling human!" Later, a horse gets tackled by a human and is mighty confused and pissed off by that.
@@PaulMcCannWebBuilder that's a very good one " don't get hit by the falling human"
5:52 Faraday and Vasquez having each other's backs like two real friends.
I recently watched this for the first time and is now one of my favorite westerns. It is a darker than the original, but still very good.
It is an embarrassing parody.
This movie is just so incredibly re-watchable
try the original, this is kinda weak
If you like rewatching cat shit I suppose
This clip is all Ive seen from this garbage movie and I can assure you it was more than enough.
Indeed it is
Weak ?? Cat shit lol Stop
It this did the original pride 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Every shot from the hip an instant hit. Nicely done.
I know they followed the original storyline but it would have been awesome to see a 2nd one made cause a good western movie is always nice to watch
@4:53 when Ethan lost it what magnificent piece of acting
At 6:11 that guy very nearly gets stomped on by the horse multiple times and doesn't even flinch. Real pro, the horse as well for missing him.
This was a great new age spin on the original, superb!
Huh, those super scary bad guys fired their guns over 200 times with 0 hits at short range. Must have went to Storm Trooper Academy.
These were the badasses they face later.
This is how you can make a great heroes movie. ;) They are always greater than life. ;)
IRL those gun are inaccurate. Especially in shootouts. Wild Bill Hickock was famous gunslinger because he happened to hit a guy from 68 meters.
All action movies do that.
@@haskapaska that's a damn lie, now sure you're gonna be asking alot of a pistol to consistently hit shots at anything over 75 yards (68-69 meters) unless you've got *ALOT* of practice and you know your weapon inside-out but that can be said of pistols even today. Average ranges here look to about 30-50 yards (27-45 meters), even as a pretty inexperienced pistol shooter I may not put every round center of mass but I'm feeling pretty confident I could make that shot and these aren't rookies.
Considering Henry rifles were using pistol rounds and could still reach out and touch someone at 200 yards (182 meters) and Springfield breechloaders and rifles of the era could reach out comfortably to around anywhere from 400-800 yards and hit accurately? I wouldn't take my chances unless I *really* felt I was the biggest man in the room.
The terror and demons in Ethan Hawke's eyes
Denzel is the definition of slick. Always smooth.
Pity there wasn't some kind of cross time. Would of love to see the past seven meeting with the current ones
Agreed! 👍
I'd say ultra-smooth.
This movie is damn good. Bring back westerns plz
I remember the hype from the trailers and being genuinely excited to see this with my dad because we both loved the original. What this lacked was the dialogue and emotional charge from the writing that the first one had and the whole movie had a sort of, clunky and stumbling feel to its pacing. The cast was phenomenal but somehow, somewhere their performances were neither held up or strung together tightly enough during post to tell a seamless story in my opinion but it's been forever since I've watched it. Did anyone else notice the shortcomings having that same affect? It's hard to explain it because the movie had everything going for it but it just hit mid instead of soaring with its potential.
Great Movie!!!
your right ... just your opinion ... ( stick with 'flipping burgers' )
Yeah, I agree. I think the shortcomings had to do with focusing on too many characters. The director had problems bringing all the parts together. I like the movie, but it would've been better if it hadn't been a remake of the Magnificent Seven and they could've just focused on the best characters.
I get it. Still a great movie.
As great as Fuqua is, he is not on the same level as Peckinpah or Kurosawa.
Its very interesting that in 6:42 he bow guy leads the arrow in front of the target, because the guy was on the horse, very realistic.
The internet wasn't very fast then, so he had to account for lag
Lol the deputy telling the Sheriff to retrieve the pistol 😂
"but if you put em up against some real men then....., You sure you don't want my gun?"
Also the "oh he's my man servant" then the look his eyes literally told a whole sentence when he looked at Denzel his eyes said (man servant? Me? Bro I'm the deadliest person on r team why I gotta pretend to be the man servant?) Lmaaaao
That was a good catchphrase..
I think it's the word "Harmless"
😂😂😂😂
The score just makes this scene more intense. I love the fact that they brought back the score composer for the original Magnificent Seven.
Officer Hoyt was never the same after Alonso
Ethan Hawke did an excellent portrayal of PTSD in this movie.
Haha, forget those 2 were adversarial in Training Day. So much criminality went on with those "cops" it was hard to believe that was One day
6:10
Can we take a minute to recognize and thank the horse 🐎 trainer here?
I MEAN..... DAYUM!
This was actually a damn fine movie
That horse Denzel is riding is a real beauty.
What the hell is with this star studded cast? This film slipped under my radar, gonna go watch it right now!
I've never been too keen on _remakes_ --- but THIS, this was better than the original. What a stellar cast! Love Vincent D'Onofrio in this, I barely recognized him, and of course, the MASTER himself *DENZEL* !!! This is a film I will be watching again & again for sure! 🤠
No, not better. Good in its own right, yes.
"I'll say a prayer for you... (*eun*) a- a little prayer..." and then the hand movement omg too funny! 1:49
You gotta love the stunt work throughout this scene.
That Asian guy is a Korean artist Mr. Lee 🤠
I miss westerns and this was a welcome film to the genre
Horne clearly knows how to use a weapon but apparently prefers to just manhandle everyone in his sights.
The sound design for this scene is phenomenal
I love that they incorporated the flute into the moment before the draw. Very samurai.
I am not a fan of Remakes Especially of classics like the magnificent 7 .
But damn it this was AWESOME 😎
''True grit'' is a great remake too 😉
When you run into an army of goddamn o’driscolls
This was the damn Avengers of western times. Such a great remake of the western classic.
A lot of you don't seem to realize this is a remake of a remake and the premise has always been the same. Seven exceptional warriors come together to face down dozens of plebs.
Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa
I’m sorry, the face that Steve knew the rifle would jam is insane
Very underrated western. Terrific casting.
eh. not really, its been rated, thats why its been re done lots of time, seven samurai
@@user-by6wf6lz9u woah woah woah, don't be telling them folks about the original story, let them dream
@@user-by6wf6lz9u you have it backwards, the original mag seven is based on seven samurai. Seven Samurai was not re done.
I enjoyed the movie very much. It wasn't the original, but it was an excellent remake.
"It's like my daddy always said..."
What's that?
"Well... my daddy, he said a lot of things"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol … I laugh out loud every time at that bit! It’s not even a joke as such but the delivery is funny as Hell!
oh damn now I have to watch this whole movie again. thanks a lot.
"Are you sure you don't want my gun?..."
(Hell, no. Your gun is to BIG for us to handle...)
The thing this movie did well for an action movie was in setting up the main characters. We only get scattered lines and pieces of backstories but it’s exactly enough to tell us what we need to know about each of them, then it lets the viewer fill in the rest for themselves. All the while it gets to the good parts, showing the guys interacting and playing off each other, letting the bond build. So when we see them fight together we’re all the more invested in the ride. It’s not citizen Kane, but for an action western movie it’s top notch
The original I believe was based loosley on Akira Kurasawa's Seventh Samuri. Please correct me if I am wrong.
There is the original. And then there is this. No need for a redo of the original.
When I 1st heard they were redoing this movie I was afraid they would screw it up, BUT they didn't, they actually did justice to the original. BRAVO!
to Seven Samurai. right?
They did. It was bad
I loved this original movie named "seven samur.. magnificent seven".
Let's give it up for the stunt team, dang those were some falls they were taking.
Eaten Hawk is constantly making a face like when you are chewing food and accidentally bite your tongue and you go like "MMMHHHH!!"
These gunman did a better job than the first film, which is saying something when you see the actors who played in the first film. May God richly bless everyone ✝️🇺🇸!
Bruh ngl, this movie is the reason why i started playing rdr2
Denzel is the Micheal jordan of acting plus the rest of the cast was put to together like the dream team…🔥 movie
"Denzel is the Michael Jordan of acting..." :D
True!
Wow... Just this little one get me glue to watch the full movie already.. ❤❤❤❤
3:54 me encantó la parte que le dijo al caballo que se fuera... Era nadamás entre ellos !!!
This was a brilliant remake of a classic movie. Denzil & Co did a fantastic job.👍👍
It would be great to have a walk like the worlds greatest lover !
The cast was great, the movie so so ... better writing would have made this a masterpiece.
Wow, that was epically intense. I have yet to see this movie. Perhaps I'll watch it tonight.
Lord! Give me clear vision, clear sight! “as he continues stabs a man to death” -legend 🤣
I know its heresy but I loved this remake more then original.
Denzel done alright in this video. Never figured him for a cowboy, he'll manage.
He was fantastic
Fair remake of the Steve McQueen, Yul Brynner, Charles Bronson, James Coburn classic.
