Apple iTunes had a sale on the classic western a few weeks ago, and then followed it up with a sale on the remake a couple of weeks later. My wife and I had a mini-marathon of the two movies yesterday.
My initial thoughts? The classic was great and the remake was nearly unwatchable, consisting of over an hour of nothing more than the world's longest, loudest gunfight.
The BEST version? Pixar's A Bug's Life, which I didn't even know was based on the Magnificent Seven (The Seven Samurai- the original Japanese version) until yesterday.
Now THAT remake was a good one.
