Review of Guns of the Magnificent Seven (1969) by Dustin D — 02 Oct 2016
Guns of the Magnificent Seven has a better ensemble than the other sequels (not counting the newest), but it ultimately feels formulaic and slapped together. This at times causes tonal dissonance (see the scene where the blaring theme song halts when the Seven come across villagers who were hanged from telephone poles, then the music picks right back up as they move along like nothing happened).
Joe Don Baker's and Bernie Casey's character arcs are totally predictable. This film is too similar to the original to really justify its existence.
