Review of Return of the Seven (1966) by John A — 15 Jul 2010
The return of the magnificent seven was always on a hiding to nothing. How could it ever match the the first film ? To this day , the first film is still one of the best movies ever made.
This is a lazy attempt at trying to emulate a classic. It lacks any real characters and the story along with the action is dull and badly thought out.
It's not all bad though. Yul Brynner is still mesmerising , as is the wonderful musical score.
Apparently Yul Brynner told the director , Burt Kennedy , that he would not do this movie if Steve McQueen was involved and sadly this movie cries out for Mcqueen . If only they could have sorted out their differences this could have been so much better.
