Obviously, Hitchcock is far more intelligent, innovative and involving than Fincher. Obviously. No duh. That said, Seven is about as meaty when it comes to "point" as most Hitchcocks.
If it's overrated, I'll buy that.
If Fincher is a mediocre filmmaker, I'll buy that too.
If Seven just plain sucks, I disagree.
And boo fucking hoo about the blood. You can watch Rambo wipe out hundreds of people with yellow skin but you can't bear to see some spatter from a white woman? I knew it.
You don't actually see anyone tortured, from what I remember. That's one of the differences between Seven and Saw.
But whatever. I'm done defending a movie that I thought was pretty good last time I watched it, which was probably a decade ago.
