Was I the only one who fking hated this movie?


This movie is one of the most awful and terrible movie remakes EVER.
I mean, obviously there was no way any remake of could be as good as The Seven Samurai itself.

But this? Seriously?

First of all, the *beep* MUSIC was so *beep* annoying.
characters boring and I didn't know any of them by name.
The crazy "samurai" was annoying, stupid and retarded (unlike in the original).
The "samurai" were using guns. GUNS. *beep* GUNS, no swords. GUNS.
The mexicans were all wearing clean clothers just to be against the "dirty" mexicans cliché. How *beep* ridiculous .

It's just such a typical Hollywood movie, wanna be heart-warming, PG-13 family western film. I simply can't express how much I hate this movie. I had bellyache and got sick while watching this *beep*

surprised you gave it 4/10..how many westerns have you seen where they use samurai swords? I will readily admit mag 7 is not not in the top ten films ever made but will probably be in peoples top ten most popular

Yes, just you and some smart ass hipsters.

No Raylan, I'm gonna bet my life on you being the only friend I have left in this world.

Does anyone know who the 'crazy samurai' was that this poster is speaking about?

this film was based on "The Seven Samurai" as I am sure you know. I suspect he is attempting to equate the gunfighters with the samurai to make a point.

Oh I know that Pete, I just couldn't figure out who the specific 'Crazy Samurai' was. The only one I could come up with was Toshiro Mifune. But then I thought, Nah...it couldn't be him. Toshiro Mifune is Bad Ass, with capitol letters all the way. I just couldn't think who was supposed to represent the 'Crazy Samuria', I thought they were all pretty sane, but it's been a while since I've had the chance to watch the film. And now they are remaking both of them It's sad times Pete, sad times indeed. The Good news is the 'The Magnificent Seven' is on Netflix over here, woo hoo.

I love it as well except for Horst Buchholtz. He irritates the hell out of me in this film. And it's not as if he did in any other movie. It's just that I can't stand his performance here. I tend to FF when he is on screen. But Brynner, McQueen and Bronson more than make up for him.

The music is awesome, and I won't hear a word against it!

Probably not, but it was so generous of you to take the time to share your "thoughts".

Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.
