Movie Reviews of Guns of the Magnificent Seven
Movie Review: Returns to the Roots
Summary: 5 Stars
GUNS OF THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN returns to the roots which were at the heart of the original THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. Helping the innocent against insurmountable odds and in the process seeking redemption, these seven take on the task of saving a Mexican revolutionary leader from an impregnable fortress prison. This story is more straightforward than its predecessor RETURN OF THE SEVEN which was very introspective. The motives here are very clear and it ultimately comes down to a tale of good against evil. When the day of reckoning is over the seven only hope they are around long enough to see the fruits of their labors take root. Elmer Bernstein's sweeping score is very good. The action is exciting and emotionally charged. Also, there are some fine performances especially from Joe Don Baker and Bernie Casey who form an unlikely bond. This film does seem to lack some of the wisdom and meaning of purpose that Yul Brynner brought to the role of Chris, the leader of the seven, but George Kennedy gives a determined and well intentioned performance to see evil vanquished and peace returned to the Mexican people. This film is good and can easily hold its own while giving a heartfelt nod to the original.
