I disagree here - I thought both the modern remakes of 3:10 to Yuma and True Grit were superior to the originals.
_Maybe_ the cinematography in the original 3:10 to Yuma was better, but in terms of acting, pacing and story, I found the new one to be far superior.
Not saying this film will come close to the original Magnificent Seven (again, as I said -- it needs just a bit more acting firepower to even come close) but it could still make for a fun Saturday afternoon.
Just came back from this and it was better than the original. I am a big Steve McQueen and Yul Brynner fan, but the remake blows it out of the water. Very modern take on this classic story.
BLASPHEME!!!!
