The Magnificent Seven Review

I absolutely adored this 2016 remake of The Magnificent Seven franchise which represents such a diverse relationship between seven warriors. Director Antoine Fuqua brings his modern vision to a classic story in The Magnificent Seven. With the town of Rose Creek under the deadly control of industrialist Bartholomew Bogue, the desperate townspeople employ protection from seven outlaws, bounty hunters, gamblers and hired guns. As they prepare the town for the violent showdown that they know is coming, these seven mercenaries find themselves fighting for more than money.

First of all we have Billy Rocks is based on James Coburn's Britt from 'The Magnificent Seven', who himself is based on Seiji Miyaguchi's Kyuzo from 'Seven Samurai'.

Goodnight Robicheaux- Based on Lee from 'The Magnificent Seven', Goodnight has severe cases of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Josh Faraday- The trickster/gambler who dares to challenge death, sorry for any spoilers.

Christolm- the leader of this delightful group, who motivates his group and is one of the strongest above all.

Vasquez- the only Mexican of the gang, very fast with his gun and joined the group in return for hiding his outlaw background.

Jack Horne- the 'bear' of the group, named this for his huge size and animal like fighting style; a ruthless hunter.

Red Harvest- the native American who is hunting for revenge against the people who murdered his family, prefers a bow and arrow over a gun any day; and would still win the fight.

These are the magnificent seven that are presented to the audience, they have altered the original characters hugely in comparison with the last movie of the 1960's. These characters represent the modern age where all cultures and races are accepted in society, I enjoyed each one of these individuals fighting styles in relation to their background. I recommend this film to others and would definitely watch it again myself.
