Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) by Dkang0316 — 07 Jun 2014

I was very disappointed with the movie. I like Family Guy. I really adored TED. And I laughed at the trailers for this movie including the red band trailers. But this 2 hour long movie was a bore. I give credit to Seth Macfarlane for trying something new and bold. But it was just not as funny or as entertaining as it should have been. There were some over the top moments but they're not like TED or Family Guy. This movie try to be grounded in reality which really hurts it.

If you watched any trailer for this movie then you saw most of the funniest jokes for the movie. Also if you watched a trailer with a certain cameo then you're going to be very disappointed because that's the entire scene for the cameo. For a movie called "A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST" I think there's only 10-15 deaths and some of them were in the trailers.

Acting was fine. Everyone did their roles but they're weren't used to their full potential. Seth tried so hard to be an appealing leading man but I wanted to focus on either Neil Patrick Harris or Giovanni Ribisi. They were funnier than Seth especially Ribisi. Charlize Theron was funny and her chemistry with Seth is good..... for 5 minutes. This movie focused too much on the love story and it got boring after 5 minutes. And Liam Neeson is only in it for 10 minutes. It is basically a cameo.

I would skip this one. Wait until rental because there's probably an unrated director's cut with more scenes added to it.
