Common Sense Media
Classic shoot-'em-up not for young viewers. Lots of fighting – with guns and without. Characters drink and smoke.

The Hollywood Reporter
About two-thirds of the film is good, tough, unromantic period western. About one-third is sentimental nonsense and it bushwhacks the remainder.

Collider
"Director John Sturges crafts a classic Western that doesn't adhere to all the genre's rules, while also honoring Kurosawa's work."

Variety
The Magnificent Seven is a rip-roaring rootin’ tootin’ western with lots of bite and tang and old-fashioned abandon. The last third is downhill, a long and cluttered anti-climax in which ‘The Magnificent Seven’ grow slightly too magnificent for comfort.

Letterboxd
"picking up a gun so that someone else doesn't have to -- no one ever asked you to be selfless, no one demanded that you do the right thing, no one will remember your intentions or your dreams."

Rotten Tomatoes
"Over six decades later, The Magnificent Seven still rides tall in the saddle. It’s a film of striking visuals, unforgettable music, and timeless values. More than just a Western, it’s a tale of heroism that resonates across cultures and generations."
