Magnificent 7 was a pretty awesome movie. (spoilers)

Just finished watching it for the first time.
Thought it was fantastic. A very fun western.
Not many movies have a sense of danger and loss. Killing the main characters was great. I was nervous they'd all ride off into the sunset together unscathed.
I thought they had solid screen chemistry and the final gun battle was pretty cool.

It was entertaining. Not particularly memorable for me, but I'm not a big fan of westerns anyway.

We watched it last night. I enjoyed it.
D'onofrio was making me laugh.
I wish they had a little more backstory on some of the characters.
Loved Billy and Goodnight.
Spoilers just in case
Why have Matt Bomer in it to die so soon? I'm surprised he'd take the roll just to die within 5 minutes

It's fun...but not much of a Western.
IDK, Westerns are a genre that has a certain pace to it and moral reckoning.
This was Assault on Precinct 13 in 1860. It was so crazy gun-fighting, there was a slight pause in the sound of gunfire toward end of the movie and you thought the film had stopped.
I mean it really is Mad Max Fury Road in an Old West prop set...or...the Wild Bunch on Klendathu.
I mean, it's insane and was fun for classic 80's flicks where bad gun shoots 100 rounds and good guy shoots 1 round and it's a Ralphie dead-eye shot to Black Bart...pushing up daises immediately. I mean every guy who died (who was bad by the script) died immediately from being shot. Every good guy (by the script) hung on to talk some good wisdom.
There was no Western introspection and the bad guy got no respect in this movie which is sort of against the Western code.

Yeah I agree with that and those are some of the flaws of the movie. I'd still call it a western though for no other reason than it's gunfighting in the old west. Just maybe not a great western and certainly not deep.

I thought it was OK but unnecessary considering the 2 previous versions were already great. Getting tired of remakes.
I enjoyed In a Valley of Violence more, which paid tribute to classic B westerns instead of copying one.
