Guns of the Magnificent
Seven (1969)
Directed by Paul
Wendkos this second sequel stars George Kennedy, James Whitmore and
Monte Markham. Mexicans fighting against the corrupt government seek
the help of American gun fighters to free one of the leaders of the
revolution.
Compared to the first
sequel this film at least tries to use a different plot which is not
bad but hardly distinct from a number of similar westerns. It is hard
to imagine anyone replacing Yul Brynner and while George Kennedy does
nothing wrong he just does not have the same or a similar screen
presence. The execution of the film is mostly good apart from an over
reliance on the musical score for the original film which does not
necessarily fit the action here.
3/5
