5.0 out of 5 stars A Magnificent Tribute, March 28, 2000

By	Cheryl Witman (East Earl, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This television series' pilot mirrors the Yul Brenner movie but has more heart and direction. With a fantastic cast featuring Michael Biehn (Aliens), Dale Midkiff (Time Trax) and Eric Close (Now and Again), this movie has got your full attention the moment you swing through the saloon doors. The pace is keep at a fast gallop, introducing characters and their personalities with ease and style and moving right along to more action. Here's my final round up of my review: the lines are good, the plot is strong and the air is filled with gunfire. What more could you ask of a western!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Movie Well Worth The Price, April 13, 2000

By A Customer

While not a remake of the original "Magnificent Seven" film, this orginally TV series pilot offers the viewer plenty of action, fast-pacing, and great performances by the seven leads (especially Michael Biehn and Ron Perlman). It immediately draws you into the action as the seven men band together to protect a Seminole village threatened by Confederate soldiers still fighting the Civil War. While the famous music might be used a tad excessively, it doesn't become annoying. Anyone who saw this when it originally aired on CBS will be stunned by the BEAUTIFUL picture quality and greatly improved sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Magnificent Seven-a must own video!, October 14, 2002

By	"bettyboopw" (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

The Magnificent Seven (Michael Biehn version) is the best I have seen as far as westerns go in a very long time. An ex-Confederate officer and his army come upon an Indian village, terrorize them and then threaten to return in a few days for gold they believe the villagers to possess. Two of the villagers go to the nearest town to seek/hire men to help them. What I love about this movie are the relationships that developed between the characters, Chris and Vin, Buck and JD, Nathan and Josiah, Chris and Ezra. The movie also conveyed with a few words, their actions or even a look each character's personality, what type of a man each character is, what their dreams are, what haunts them, etc. It has action (some very violent scenes), a little romance, some comedy, a villian of course, but most of all, seven men who become heroes. Michael Biehn's portrayal of Chris Larabee as the leader of this group of men is right on the money. Dale Midkiff is a delight to watch. Eric Close, Anthony Starke, Andrew Korvit, Ron Perlman and Rick Worthy are all wonderful in their portrayal of their individual characters. These seven actors' portrayal of their characters are a great ensemble and complement one another, while at the same time they are also very unique and diverse. I highly recommend this movie. You will not be disappointed.
