Wow what a movie. The story continues in the sci-fi Magnificent Seven. The first half is fairly slow and admittedly that harvesting scene was quite a slog but most of the second half consists of a jaw dropping, incredible battle. As expected some of the characters die so the suspense is ratcheted up. Beautiful effects, stunning visuals, incredible explosions, glorious slo-mo, great sword fights and wall to wall action in the second half make this a must see. The film never tries to be more than it is and that's ok for people who have good taste; not the forever whiners about just about every movie ever made. Where's the last film they made? Oh yeah........none. Boutella and Skrein play their respective parts well and not over the top and the supporting cast does fine with Hounsou as the standout. Hope Snyder gets his wish and makes more but at least we have the R rated versions to look forward to.
