Having watched both movies over the past two days, I have a preference.

Question:
Which do you prefer?

Choices:
1960
2016

 

Ive seen the 2016 one the most lately. Its been a few years since ive seen the old one. Id have to watch it again. But i really do enjoy the new one.

Older one.

While the newer one isn't horrible, the music/score of the Brenner/McQueen version makes it stand-out however, the gun fire audio made it ...interesting.

I voted for the 1960 one, but Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai leaves them both in the dust.

I agree.

The 1960 version is so much better. Better cast too.

The newer one... should not be.

I like Chris Pratt, but really? There is no comparison. The original, hands down.

Steve McQueen.

Need I say more?

I prefer the original, by Kurosawa.

The takeoff in 1960, The Magnificant Seven, wasn't bad.

The latest movie was ok.

I haven't seen the new one but some of it was filmed buy my friend's house in Jackson. LA

The new one was OK, however the original was much better. So I voted for the 1960 version.

Magnificent Seven -- Which Do You Prefer?

I like both of them. They are different enough, except for the title that I, at least can enjoy them as two separate movie.

But, if I had to pick between them, it's be the 1960 one.

Yeah, who were the 6 other guys?

I'm not a hardcore old western guy, but the original is one of my all time favorites.

Yul Brynner, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, and Horst Buchholz.

I am truly surprised that the new one didn't have a female or gay guy as one of the 7.

I can't think of any remake I prefer over the original, including True Grit.

The older westerns,in my opinion, need to be left alone, as you can't usually remake a classic and have it turn out well. There is an occasional modern movie that was good as the original and one off the top of my head was "3:10 to Huma". I enjoyed that one.

The original was better. I enjoyed Ethan Hawkes character though. His was the best of the group.

The opening scene, the hearse ride, brenner and McQueen took, spoke to me.
