A Million Ways to Die in the West.....

A very biased report admittedly...as Blazing Saddles is one of my favorite movies...and this movie is clearly Seth Macfarlane's 'remake' of that great flick...
  *BUT..minus Cleavon Little....Gene Wilder....Harvey Korman...Madeline Kahn +++

Issues?
  *SM centering the film around himself...wise a-s-s writer sure / leading man NOPE
  *not only are the gags incredibly FORCED..but often repeated again and again.....note :a DIARRHEA joke hits the mark in 1-2 seconds or so
  *except for constant reminders that Charlize Theron is really hot...you really could care less about anybody here (especially SM)....Liam Neeson is pretty good sure
 
It's watchable for most...and if you're a member of the 20-30ish bro' group and a huge SM fan..you will probably like it a lot...

Everybody else?.....just enough good stuff to make it kinda funny....serious moviegoers might find it tough to watch.....

Nothing but a bunch of one liner type jokes like you'd get in Family Guy.  Sure, you'll laugh at stuff, but none of it is all that memorable.  Most comedy movies will have some scene go on for 5 minutes or more and be hilarious.  This really has none of that type of comedy.

FamilyGuy hasn't been funny lately.

Looks like the type of movie that 12 yr olds are going to think is hilarious.

not sure how it could be a remake of Blazing Saddles, maybe his take on a comedy western and a nod to Blazin just because they are both comedy westerns. I thought it was ok, nothing spectacular.

*the parallels should be obvious to any (semi-serious) moviegoer that has seen both....did you sit thru the credits?............
  'remake' in quotes....suggests loosely > not strictly to the letter wtf

after Jamie Foxx, I left. I wouldn't even put remake in quotes. A remake to me implies it's the same movie, with some tweaks or updated to be more modern. Robocop that recently came out was a remake of Robocop from the 80's. It wasn't the same story I am sure, but was the same basic idea. My point, the only thing they had in common were they were both comedy westerns.
