The cast was perfect, their chemistry was amazing and it didn't feel like a remake from that standpoint. Also, for movie over 2 hours, it flew by with the last action sequence setting up perfectly!

I loved the idea of this movie (1960 version) but I always thought it was a little overrated. So, needless to say, I'm looking forward to this remake with the hope that they did a better job with their stellar cast than Sturges did with the non-original "original". I liked the previous version but that's a given seeing as I'm a fan of Horst Buchholz, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson and Eli Wallach.

Forget all the western versions and just watch 7 Samurai.

Solid 7/10

Really good. I loved all the nods to old school and spaghetti westerns. The director really tried to lend as many 'old tricks' to this as possible. You can tell he's a big fan of westerns. Wasn't a perfect movie, but I really enjoyed it!

I thought it was a pretty solid western... maybe a little long and i would have liked to see a little more from the villain. But it definitely delivered a kick-ass finale, although all I could think during most of the "getting the town ready" section was "Sew Maria. Sew like the wind!"

Well, guess I won't use that quote in the guess that quote thread!

ha!

I also couldn't help but think of the fake town created in Blazing Saddles in a scene where Denzel came bursting out of a saloon on his horse. I mean... how the hell did he get in there in the first place?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Entertaining but pales compared to the original. Chris Pratt was great.

Just saw this last night and enjoyed it.

I will grant you that Cruise is a far superior actor to Nicholas Cage, who really doesn't qualify as an actor in my book.

Just something about Cruise that grates on me

Haha; this made me lol.

Solid entertaining film.
