You must choose a side.  The can be only one.  If you haven't seen em both you're out.

Seven Samurai vs Magnificent 7 is like Joe Montana vs Dan Marino.

One of them was easily the most talented passer (the most well made movie) of its generation, but the other one was a winner, and so quintessentially American that everyone loved him, even if he wasn't particularly original or mechanically flawless.

the Magnificent 7 is Joe Montana. I'm a Montana guy.

You've got to go with the original.  Magnificent Seven is a great movie, but it's a carbon copy.

Magnificent 7 had better development of the bad guys and better music.  7 Samurai may have had slightly better development of the farmers. Maybe.

Also the new Star Wars cartoon stole from it to make a Clone Wars episode, with Anakin, Obi Wan, and Anakin's padawan Asoka teaming up with 4 bounty hunters to fight off space pirates.

Not as good, but not at all bad.
