Return of the Magnificent Seven Reviews
Return of the Seven is Less than Magnificent
The producers of the Return of the Seven just banked on the name,on Yul Brynner and on Elmer Bernstein's great score and the result is a very dull ,exhausting western. Westerns like these are the ones that hurt the genre. This sequel not only lacks the magnificent cast,plot,character development,but imagination as well. Whoever sees the Magnificent Seven and decides then to watch the Return of the Seven will be saying what Vin (Steve McQueen's character in the original) said at one point in the film:"It seemed like a good idea at the time". So follow Yul Brynner's advice."Ride on..." and see THe Magnificent Seven over and over these seven will never disappoint you .
Return of the seven could have waited
The man in black -Chris (Yul Brynner) returns to the mexican village he once saved in the original film. This time he and Vin ( a dull Robert Fuller filling in for Steve Mqueen) form a new 'Seven' in order to rescue the men of the village from the clutches of a mexican bandit bent on building a church as a tribute to his two dead sons. Among the men he captures is Chico of the origianl 7 (Horst Bucholz also chose not to appear in this sequel) rounding out the new Seven are Claud Akins, Warren Oates, Jordan Christoher. The second 'ride for the seven is much darker in tone than the original film and lacks the Panache of the original film (not to mention the cast) no one really cares what happens to this second seven. The film is very uneven with little or no character developement, some of the action sequences are very well done, Return of the Magnificent Seven would stand better as a companion piece to the original film than on the merrits of it's own.
