I had my reservations since there was not much faith in expecting an improvment over the previous release - so taking The Great Escape and The Good, Bad, And The Ugly as examples to compare The Magnificent Seven is easily the best in terms of a worthy upgrade. It was money well spent. All I can say is that it had a nice, detailed film like quality that surprised me - not perfect but very enjoyable to watch - even the background scenes looked good, usually they tend to look very soft. For those of us with a good front projection setup if you can make that statement than it really deserves high marks. With all of the comments made lately about new versions of classic films falling short (eg Ben Hur) I think Sony did a pretty good job on this one - of course some may nitpick but basically I could not find much to be critical of.
