	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Nothing particularly original or fresh has been injected into this competentlmuchoy made, violent but uningratiating remake (...) The cast is OK and does its job, but no more"	NEU
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"'The Magnificent Seven' is like a long-fused stick of dynamite: It takes forever to get interesting but does at least unleash an explosive finale (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A fun And surprisingly fresh western about Trump’s America (...) 'The Magnificent Seven' 2016 is almost as fun as it is familiar. More surprising still, it’s as timely a blockbuster as they come"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A remake of the 1960 Western classic that hits all the right buttons but misses the fun of the original (...) “Magnificent Seven” is still a reasonably engaging movie for its first hour or so"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"Antoine Fuqua’s remake (...) It lives and dies by being a Magnificent Seven of the now, and this helps and harms the final product (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist	"It would be too easy to say 'The Magnificent Seven' isn’t magnificent. It’s definitely not, but the film has an even more egregious quality: it’s uninspired"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'The Magnificent Seven' fails to capitalise on a strong cast (...) director Antoine Fuqua shows little feel for the flinty, widescreen grandeur of the Western genre"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The new 'Seven' isn't aiming for cinema immortality. It's two hours of hardcore, shoot-em-up pow and it's entertaining as hell. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"The new movie is as moth-eaten as the (...) the 1960 film, but there’s no denying the appeal of the image of Mr. Washington riding a horse, shooting a Colt and leading a posse of vigilantes to save a mostly white Western town."	NEU
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"A bizarrely subdued Washington and blandly feisty Chris Pratt lead a diverse pack of gunslingers in Antoine Fuqua‘s semi-stylish but mostly disappointing update of the 1960 classic"	NEU
