Movie Reviews of Return of the Magnificent Seven
Movie Review: Yul Brynner and Emilio Fernández Excel in True Sequel
Summary: 5 Stars
RETURN OF THE SEVEN was made when sequels to popular films were seldom made. RETURN OF THE SEVEN was a true sequel and not just another story made in the spirit of the original. RETURN OF THE SEVEN revisits characters and the setting of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN ten years hence. Yul Brynner as Chris tells Vin, now played by Robert Fuller, that he hasn't been going anywhere for ten years. Chico, now played by Julián Mateos, is captured and rounded up with the rest of the men from the village and mysteriously taken off into the desert by the wealthy land owner Emilio Fernández' hired cohorts. Chris and Vin now take up where they left off forming another band of "Seven" and search for Chico and the others. Both Chris and Vin no longer have any aspirations of settling down yet Chris is still the noble gunman while Vin now questions the purpose of his existence as a gunman. The mold can not be broken or so it would seem. Emilio Fernández is Lorca the misguided villain of the piece. Fernández' unlike Eli Wallach's Calvera is not a down and out bandit but a wealthy landowner looking to literally construct a monument to his past failures. Chris and Lorca's paths have crossed once before and the much now wiser Chris must try to set him back on a moral path. Of the seven, they seem to have more specific reasons, consciously or unconsciously, for "coming along for the ride." Claude Akins must put both his conscience and life to rest. Warren Oates learns he has more value as a man than just living a rough and roguish lifestyle and someone like himself must help the downtrodden in the world. Chico wishes to leave his seemingly humble existence as a farmer and return to making a living with his gun. Bandit and killer Virgilio Teixeira finds it is time to repay those he has transgressed and be able to ride with respect and not disdain. The young Jordan Christopher wants to accepted and welcomed into the village and leave his orphaned background behind him. Brynner once again is the cohesive force and strong individual representing rational judgment and reason while Fernández' self destruction threatens harmony but makes the irony of all their oblique ambitions possible.
