Greetings from Lithuania.
"The Magnificent Seven" (2016) is a disappointment to start with. It has amazing cast, great genre director Antoine Fuqua and ... nothing that will glue you to your screen during its 2 hours run time. It wasn't a bad movie to say the least, but 2 minutes after the credits will start rolling, you will forget it ASAP.
Writing was the weakest thing of this movie to say the least. It lacked character development, nor the intriguing plot. So i toke what was given to me and the best thing i can say it wasn't bad, but "The Magnificent Seven" is a very mediocre "saw it many times, know where it is going and how it will play out flick" to say the best. The best thing in this movie was its cinematography by Mauro Fiore - it is a great work.
Overall, "The Magnificent Seven" will work as a guilty pleasure on a boring evening with some friends and maybe some light alcohol involved, but nothing more. This is the weakest film by the great Antoine Fuqua till this date, and its not his fault - action sequences (and the are a lot of them were pretty solid) - script is what has to be blamed here in a first place. Not bad flick, but given the names behind and in front of the camera, this is a disappointing movie.
