#42 of all time? Not a chance.

Rating: 5/10 (9 April 2006)

I had been waiting a long time to see this movie and I finally had the chance. #42 all time? 8.4 on IMDb? Man it must be GREAT.
Instead, what I watched was a slow, almost boring movie. Where were the great twists? It was amazingly predictable. Guys print on a wall? Bet he's missing a finger or hand. Guy starved to death? Bet he's still alive, why else would they so lovingly pan over the body? Friday the 13th did that, too. Nice serene music and BAM! I wasn't counting on Seven being a "slasher film" but it sure seems to have followed many of the "tricks" of cheaper slasher films.
There was some character development, I guess, and i'm sure that slowed things down a bit, but that hardly made this a great film.
And why was it so damned dark half the time! IT ISN'T NECESSARY! Man I hate that in movies.
Anyways, i'm sure some will love it. I found it totally run of the mill, with a lot of wasted star power.
