    Been looking forward to this. I kinda liked the previous cast they had lined up though with tom cruise, matt damon, and morgan freeman.

    Cast will likely make this a watch for me. That trailer is a little too blah with your typical Hollywood trailer crap these days (why does every trailer insist on putting in the same weird sound effects?). Doesn't fit a Western but doesn't mean the movie necessarily has that tone. I enjoyed Training Day and The Equalizer and it's always fun to see Peter Sarsgaard Sarsgaarding. I'll give this a look-see, I imagine.

    So the plot.....

    lol.... I'll miss it. I love good westerns but this certainly is NOT a real western. Its certainly sold as a mindless action flick with little plot. Probably a revenge flick. Blah.... next.

    The 7 should have been:

    Brad Pitt
    George Clooney
    Tom Cruise
    Benicio Del Toro
    Will Smith
    Nick Cage
    Leo Dicaprio

    And have Drew Barrymore play the lead female for the wtf effect.

    It looks like Young Guns 2016. I'll watch I'm a sucker for a decent western.

    I don't know about Drew Barrymore (I actually like their casting of the lone brave female).

    But their "magnificent seven" more like needs Drew Carey and Jim Carrey

    First thing I thought when I saw Denzel was "at least they didn't put Will Smith in it."

    Will watch, need to re-watch the original soon, it's been a couple of years.

    Looks like they have recast the plot. It's no longer bandits but some evil businessman with a bunch of mercenaries. I've watched the original 7 samurai, the original magnificent 7, and some other derivative remakes(battle beyond the stars, and even the anime 7 samurai with cyborgs). I'll probably watch this one too, though of all of those versions, this might be the only one where the bad guys are not marauding bandits. I guess it's a sign of our times, businessman = bandit.

    Not gonna be better than the original with McQueen/Bronson and company. But I'll still go see this one though.

    Definely. I've always been a fan of Fuqua's action scenes. If it has cool ass shoot-outs but the story is kinda meh because of the acting? I'm still cool with it.

    Of course not, that's one of the top-10 westerns ever.

    Speaking of good westerns, I just watched Bone Tomahawk last night. Really enjoyed it, highly recommend it
