Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

jmit001 Normally I love finding old (and some not-so-old) westerns I haven't seen, to be the entertainment for the evening. It's such a great way to sit back, relax and escape the politics and world problems for a few hours. But this was not to be the case with this version of The Magnificent Seven. The casting and storyline of this series closely follow the Hollywood formula for politically correct entertainment; good old get-your-mind-right, revisionist history, where the 'bad guys' must all be white, male, Confederate (in this case), and preferably Christian (if it can somehow be worked into the script). It's sad, really. The best movies out there, are now and have always been about simply telling a good story up on the big screen - not about forwarding someone's political ideology.

wingtale7 "The Magnificent Seven" television series started with this episode/movie "Ghosts of the Confederacy". They created a fictional story that will live on in the memories of western fans forever.See Eric Close in the role that put him on the map. He is absolutely delectable as Vin Tanner; the ex-bounty hunter, gravel-voiced tracker. Michael Biehn is superb as the notorious gunslinger Chris Larabee. Anthony Starke was perfectly made for the delightfully entertaining Ezra Standish; gambler and conman. Ron Perlman is cast as the ex-preacher Josiah Sanchez and Rick Worthy plays the part of the ex-slave Nathan Jackson. Both bring drama and balance to the seven; with age, wisdom and a belief in doing what's right. The fun and frolicking Buck Wilmington could not have played by anyone but Dale Midkiff and he is absolutely delightful in this role. As the womanizing scoundrel he adds laughter and an odd sort of compassion to the group. Lastly, Andrew Kavovit plays J.D. Dunne, the final member of the seven, a eastern greenhorn. Young Mr. Dunne wants to earn the respect of the others, especially that of the gunslinger; Mr. Larabee. Can he?Enjoy the camaraderie and anticipate the trouble that can result when you take seven completely different characters and have them try to work together.A wonderful tale! I loved it!

Jay Turner I watched a couple of the series early hours in the morning. They were fantastic, they contain suspense, the first one i watched a woman was killed with a knife and they were trying to find the person who did it. The person who did it put Josiah Sanchez in jail! I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys action and suspense! My favourite characters in it are JD and Josiah. Josiahs just cool, hes a priest with a hot temper, JD's the youngest guy of the seven and very brave, in one of the episodes he shoots a woman in a gun fight and she dies, he decides to leave because i thinks hes not good enough in the 7 but on the way out the chariot he is taking is ambushed by criminals, the drivers are shot and he takes the chariot back to the town safely :).

wnnepooh This was an amazingly well crafted show, that was over too soon! In a market that was glutted with cookie-cutter dramas and sit-coms, Magnificent Seven was a welcome change. Sylistically, it didn't look like anything else on TV, and it certainly didn't have the same story lines as anything else on any other network. Unfortunately, westerns on TV were not destined to make a comeback that season. I'm a big fan of the original with Brynner and McQueen, and believe me -Biehn and Close were well able to fill those remarkable shoes! Eric Close even LOOKS like Steve McQueen! And believe me - the chemistry of the seven actors is something I've not seen on TV since - and likely will not see again. There was a friendship between all seven main actors, which made their characters easier to believe and twice as engaging to watch. This show had action, drama, comedy, brotherhood, and just a pinch of romance. It was clean enough, yet entertaining enough for younger kids to watch, and interesting enough to keep adults coming back each week. I think it's still viewable on the Hallmark channel, but not everyone has that channel available. What I wouldn't give for DVD's...
