7 gunmen, for approximately 2.5 reasons, fight on behalf of a town they don't actually care about.

Fair. I mean.. it's just fair. Why bother with a remake if it's not going to even attempt to be better? It's a knockoff of the 1960 version set in California United States. Recommended for fans of westerns, but only so you can say that you saw it..

A remake of The Magnificent Seven - (1960 movie).
Inspired by Seven Samurai - (1954 movie).

Tells the story surrounding the mythology and history of Redbad, King of the Frisians.

It tries, but it's just not very good. It's full of heavy-handed moralizing.

Deadpool learns that his murder-spree has a consequence, and when his coin and a teddy bear struggle, a time machine lights fists on fire or something. Also X-Force.

Fucking awful.

As a commentary on Edward Snowden or WikiLeaks or some such, a list, that somehow exists, is out in the clear and being hunted by various spies.

It would have made a huge difference had this not been portrayed as a flashback/debriefing. Because of this complete failure in storytelling, there was no sense of risk at all; an important part of a spy movie like this.

Based on The Coldest City - (2012 comic), by Antony Johnston

Waking from long hibernation, a woman claims to be the survivor of an alien attack from a planetoid which has since become a terraforming colony.

A direct descendent of Alien - (1979 movie), this movie not only builds on but improves on the movie, turning this into a blockbuster franchise.

Inspired by the French Revolution, a rebellion is launched against Spaniards in South America.

This movie leverages the "yeah freedom!" but spins the old yarn that all of the rich are bad and oppressors and the poor are good and oppressed. Entertaining, though propagandistic. It is particularly interesting to think of the underlying themes of the events portrayed in this movie, and how Communism has plunged Venezuela (TODO - confirm) into a Communist dark age.

aka Libertador
Although this is in Spanish, a tiny amount is English, and a tinier amount is in French.

Fun as hell. Mandatory viewing.

War brews in the galaxy, forcing a republic to twist its laws to go to war.

Oh god, what a disappointment.

The Trade Federation blockades a peaceful planet, and decisive action is required to bring political and military strength to bear.

An astonishing improvement on the original. Even though it's lower visual quality than it's original can be, it's worth a watch. Very highly recommended especially to fans of the original trilogy who were disappointed by this new trilogy.

Continues with Star Wars II.I - Attack of the Phantom - (2001 movie)
