The Magnificent Seven has a lot of flaws, and the acting isn't good
enough to carry the lack of plot and character development. Some of the
action is cool, but it's not really enough to make it worth watching.
The Magnificent Seven got mixed reviews, but I was hoping it could be carried on the virtue of the actors. Turns out it couldn't. The plot is ridiculously simple, but you know that going in, so they really need to do some character development or have some cool tricks or something, but they don't. It felt really tired and unispired. The whole "defending a small town with tricks" thing has been done to death. You've got to have some spectacularly impressive tricks if you're going to make it entertaining, and they didn't.
