Too much of everything
Did you people see the same film I saw?
Captivating movie !
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Lots of violence, little morality, little reality and no likable characters. Though not made in Italy, this is a spaghetti western.
This is a nice remake. An equal opportunity shoot them up film, with a battle ending. Lots of little ind... wait, hem, little evils working for Bogue to shoot. Litterally, they replaced the bad indians easy to shoot by bad englishes easy to shoot. Great shooting though, but not enough french to be taken seriously.
'The Magnificent Seven' is perhaps an unnecessary remake - almost 56 years, to the day - but it's just as good as the original. Still the same simple premise - a Western, where a small town is being overthrown by a villain, so they hire a bunch (well, seven, to be precise!) of drifters to help them fight to save the town. It's still set in the 19th century, but the main differences are that the town's not in Mexico this time, and there's much more focus on the church (not necessarily religion).The leader this time is Chisolm (Washington), a bounty hunter (Yul Brenner's character), with Faraday (Pratt) a wise-cracking gunslinger (Steve McQueen's character), Goodnight (Hawke) a former sharpshooter, Billy (Lee) a knife-master, Vasquez (Garcia-Rulfo) the Mexican, Red Harvest (Sensmeier) the Comanche and Horne (D'Onofrio) - the best character - as the mountain man. Still no real motivation for them to help the town is given, but let's go with it anyway. Sarsgaard is good as Bogue, infusing him with plenty of contempt and no empathy. Bennett is OK, but mostly a token female character.Does what a good Western should - plenty of shoot-outs, sweeping vistas, explosions, horses riding and jumping, staring from under hat brims, and a healthy death toll! Has a few slow points in the first half, but the battle for the final 30min or so is done very well. Doesn't necessarily add to the original, but nor does it do it a disservice. A straight-down-the-line 3.5.
A pleasant surprise. This is a good solid western, a remake of the original classic which itself was an American take on the 1957 Kurusawa masterpiece. Sarsgaard isn't very imposing as the villain. Denzel is OK as are the rest of the cast. D'Onofrio is the acting standout here creating a memorable character in just a few scenes. Overviolent at times but an early standoff builds the tension nicely.Worth watching8/10
