This looks like the correct way to approach a remake. Keep the original concept but do everything else as if it were a movie made in modern times. Basically, make it completely different.

While there's no doubt Seven Samurai will prove to be the better film, I don't think you're in much danger of ruining the enjoyment level of this movie of you see SS first. While they both follow the same basic plot line they're going to be two completely different movies.

Besides, I'm sure at some point you've seen this premise before anyway (The first Magnificent 7, A Bug's Life, The Road Warrior, Three Amigos, etc.).

Tl;dr: Go watch Seven Samurai right fucking now!

Then Three Amigos after. Then A Bug's Life after that. In that order from best to worst.

I loved Kevin Spacey in A Bugs Life.

Typical Hollywood... Can't think of anything better to do than remake a classic film which was a remake of a true classic. It seems that Hollywood's decades old case of remakeitis has recently had a major flare up and they just can't seem to shake it, in spite of knowing the outcome is rarely positive. Maybe, like True Grit, the *real* reason is to get people to watch a "old," superior, movie, something for which modern audiences seem to have little tolerance. Heck, if Disney can remake a film as recent as Star Wars (aka Episode IV: A New Hope) and get away with it, it should be a easy sell for something "really old." I'll stick with Seven Samurai, the 60s film, Three Amigos, or even Battle Beyond the Stars, any of which will be superior to this.

While I would prefer an original Western, that does look good and I'm definitely going to see it.

Looks terrible. These ratings are hilarious.

Rated PG-13 for extended and intense sequences of Western violence, and for historical smoking, some language and suggestive material

Looks pretty cool. I'll probably see it opening weekend.

Denzel looks badass with the dark cowboy hat/outfit and the scruff.

Reviews are starting to come in. Looking pretty mixed so far.

Seems to be mostly positive, the one claiming "This is what Suicide Squad should have been." made me cringe though.

I think it's on Amazon instant Video. Not sure if it's free w/ Prime or not. Maybe I'm just wrong too.

Have movie cash for this so will most likely get to see this, but do hope it gets good reviews. Have been loving the modern made westerns. But, did just get the original collection on blu so will definitely have to check out the first...

Someone remind me please. Who played the Toshiro Mifune part in The Magnificent Seven and plays it in the new remake?
