Review of The Magnificent Seven (2016) by Jens S — 31 Jul 2018
Of course there had to be a remake of one of the greatest western movies of all times, you can't blame them for trying. And for most of the time, this film works. The characters are interesting enough, the shootouts cool, the story is no straight remake but uses only the basic premise of the original.
In the end it just doesn't have the charm, the unique atmosphere and setting of the original. Especially the main bad guy falls short, he's just an asshole, but not particularly threATENING. At least who survives the film is partially surprising.
and some shots look really beautiful. The Original is still the far superior film.
