Rating: - 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.
