I went to see the Magnificent Seven movie tonight with my dad. I wasn't expecting them to all die at the end. Pretty much all of them. They weren't Seven anymore. I understood the Magnificent Seven as a quite nice adventure-y Western series, where presumably they all lived at the end of every episode, so they could go on to save other towns the next episode. They didn't do that here. My dreams of a seven-person ride off into the sunset, after they'd bonded over various things, and possibly a sequel, was not to be.

I did really enjoy it though, and it was really well-made. Also Nick from Poltergeist: The Legacy was in it. He was a baddie, and he didn't last very long, but still. I don't think it should have been a 12A though. Vincent D'Onofrio remains a gift, treasure.
