“The magnificent seven”: a remake that rivals the original. Review of the Russian press

F. Stanislav Rostotsky “Everything then”
Without exaggeration congeniality “the Magnificent seven” sample 2016 inherits the best possible traditions. Hollywood is a distilled product, if they can be annoying, it is only its perfection and unambiguous bid for victory. Be alive John Sturges — the God ordered him to send Fuqua if not the sword, it really antique Smith & Wesson at least. Dream of the highest order. In the world of performance, issued by the then first “Seven” in the Minsk newspaper “Znamya Yunosti”, but not lost relevance today: “These movies… are to play the role of sleeping pills that promise a happy dream… a blatant effort to obscure the consciousness of the audience, to take them to the curb the burning questions of the time, stun imaginary truthfulness, to believe in his humanity, generosity, selflessness, to dazzle and to cause envy to life, filled with romantic exoticism and adventure.

Sergei Sychev: “a Film about strong men” anyway, the seven looks that spectacular, although at times the passages of the string of characters in the frame seem more comical than epic. Anyway, the movie someone would call old-fashioned, someone old school, depending on my mood and the degree of hipsters. This is a classic movie in the Grand style, even removed it in the same option of 2.35:1, which was the original. A movie about strong men, who are so cool that even their women do not care about, and love lines here can not wait. Except that a few sebaceous jokes, emphasizing that the viewer was in the company of men”.

Alexey Litovchenko: “From the remake expecting the worst”
Some scenes are almost duplicates known to us from the original, other – clever they alter. All your favorite manliner or sound new or get a decent replacement – a sense of humor, Pizzolatto all right, and some evil jokes applauded if himself the Joker. It is particularly gratifying that numerous overtures to Sturgess Fuqua is not limited to, providing your feed with references to other westernone netlenki, including “the Good, the bad and the ugly”.

Boris Ivanov: “Dashing Western with a colorful, but flat characters” unfortunately, when the Director of “Training day” Antoine Fuqua set to film a free of the politically correct remake of the movie John Sturges, he decided to focus on the movie saw and remembered the 12-year-old boy. In other words, his “Magnificent seven” – not “layer cake” for all ages, and especially teenage production vyplachivayut action and color characters in favor of anything else. Fuqua like ekranizator “War and peace” who believes in Tolstoy’s novel recreating deserve only battle scenes, but all there is romance and balls can be safely neglected.”

Sergey Sinyakov: “In this film, the cliches don’t annoy”
Perhaps you can do without ethnographic anecdotes memo camper (Irish drinks like breathing; the Chinese smokes, not cigarettes; the best way to make friends with the Indian to eat with him at a couple torn from deer warm raw heart). But in General, so persistent preaching of internationalism (usually infuriating, instead, on the idea, and to make us feeling good) is not annoying. As pathos in another masters final scene in the temple would have looked ringing vulgarity, and Fuqua — topic. All stamps (cigars, revolvers, saloons, stodolsky squint, mass horse attack; in the final, symbolizing progress, the word takes Mr. machine gun) — so Mercedes has been assembled from good-quality forged components, perfectly adjusted to each other.”

Stanislav Zelva: “Racial diversity makes the film more fun”Casting, however, it doesn’t look stretched a tribute to political correctness — the current situation and more fun, and probably more realistic (and Mexicans, for example, plays a Mexican, not a Brooklyn Jew). Racial identity of the hero Denzel Washington in the film, actually never commented on that in its own way very gracefully; this topic was already utoptala Tarantino. Of course, Korean it’s all the same for the exotic, but Lee Byung Hun is always nice to look at; besides, he has the experience westerns (“the Good, the bad, the weird”) in a strange way more than the other stars of the film”.

Lee Byung-Hun in the way Billy Rocks

Sergey Obroncow: “Major minus ” Chris Pratt” it’s Amazing, but neither a stellar cast nor solid action do not interfere with the new “Seven” to remain faceless picture. Part of the blame for this can be laid at Pratt, from a purely comedic actor turned action hero and over again playing the same character in “Guardians of the Galaxy” “Jurassic World”, and now at Fuqua”.
