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.

Classic shoot-'em-up not for young viewers.
February 03, 2006
Overly celebrated, but the gun fights are among the best ever in a Western.

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

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

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

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.
December 07, 2011
This film may well be the best western of 1960.
December 29, 2011
One of the most iconic Westerns.
May 21, 2008
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.
September 21, 2016
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.
September 21, 2016
What was wonderful in the Kurosawa film -- the recruiting and training of the mercenaries -- is just dead time here.
