Review of The Magnificent Seven (2016) by Tinas2Cents — 29 Sep 2016

I've waited 5 months for this movie to finally open and it did not disappoint. Making a remake movie from a book it's not going to be the same, it shouldn't be. The actors and action was good. The characters are credible.

It is a 'spaghetti western', not a drama, the cliches are intentional. While I love (grew up watching) the original and the good the bad and the ugly, this is more authentic. The "Wild" West got its name for a reason.

It was extremely violent. Historically it is also more accurate, from the demographics to the mindset, it was about claiming/keeping your land and greed. If u had to work/fight 4 what u have u get the plot.

If you like the whole good versus evil, little guy fighting back kind of movie. You'll like this. If you like the clean death scenes of the classics where people get shot without bleeding, Then not so much.
