Review of The Magnificent Seven (2016) by Bertoflyingfox — 24 Sep 2016
It should've been called "Denzel Washington And the Other 6". There are so many long scenes of him trying to look stoic and thoughtful while nothing is happening. Fuqua has made this movie before, it was called King Arthur. It too has a "knife guy" and cheap one-dimensional character deaths.
This movie needed wide camera lens shots, instead it's talking heads and quick cuts. A sprinkle of scenes lifted directly from Django (minus the better dialogue) and then ruining the whole point of the story by connecting it to a revenge plot that didnt need to exist.
Overall, a lazy effort with a boring shoot out that overstays its welcome.
