Review of The Magnificent Seven (2016) by Nameless — 24 Sep 2016
Insulting, insulting, insulting... If you saw the 1960s version this movie is beyond bad it is insulting. If you see this movie you will lose 2 hours of you life you will want to get back unless you are a 15 year old boy.
They gutted it of what made the original work. They even gutted the music. There was nothing at stake, some of the townspeople left. There was no existential crisis for the characters. It wasn't like they were poor farmers and if they left they would starve, or that the banditos had to come back because they were starving.
If you have to see it please miss the first 5 minutes with it's big speech that made no sense because the point was ignored. The politically correct 7 ignored everything about the time period you could have used to increase the conflict.
Which then proceeded to kill more people that violates everything about the progressive point of view it tries to hammer home in the beginning. The director knew what he was doing, the actors knew what they were doing it is the fault of the producers that couldn't protect this movie from the studio that must be employing 25 year olds that didn't go to film school.
I can't even recommend seeing this on cable. I love the manificent Seven premise, I will see all versions (animation, Japanese, superhero etc.) but this is not that movie. It kept only the "7" and threw out everything else.
I will tolerate bad movies but not this can't even rise to the level of bad.
