Sorry about how late this came out, I have been very busy and I'm trying to get everything done as soon as I can. Anyway about the movie, A Million Ways to Die in the West with Seth Mcfarlane and Charlize Theron, oh ya and Liam Neeson pops up.
STORY:
Its a Seth Mcfarlane movie, theres not a huge amount of story, Seth's character is trying to win back his girlfriend and trying to prove he is a real man with the help of Charlize Theron's character. Eventually Liam Neeson comes into play and he is the most Badass Gunman of the West, providing Seth the chance to take care of him and prove he truly belongs, so its kind of a been there done that story, but what makes this different is the next catigory.
COMEDY:
This is where the movie will make or break for you, you're either a fan of Mcfarlanes comedy style or your not, and he doesn't hold back in this. I went in expecting an hour and a half episode of Family Guy style comedy, and thats exactly what I got, and it was damn good. I laughed really hard at some points and not so hard at others, its not always the best. In my opion TED was funnier, but don't get me wrong, if you are a fan of Mcfarlanes style, then you'll defintly have a good time and walk out very pleased.
CHARACTER:
Seth is the good guy, Charlize is the girl walking into his life, Neeson is the bad guy, its pretty straight forward, but its not boring, their comedy keeps it fresh throughout and the amount of secondary characters good, they are there to drive the plot but mostly to get laughs.
So with that how does it stack up? Well with movies like X-men, Godzilla and Spiderman being action packed and dramatic it was nice to go to something not so serious, it entertained and that was its job, I didn't think it was as good as TED and I only say that because thats the movie which this one will get compared to a lot for obvius reasons.
A Million Ways to Die in the West gets a
6/10
Don't be worried of this rank, it means its a good movie, funnier than some of the other things you get from Hollywood these days, but 6/10 is more like if your not planning on seeing it in theaters thats okay, but you should pick it up on DVD for a Movie night with friends once it is availble.
