Description:
The Magnificent Seven ride again in this 'fast-moving follow-up' (Variety) to one of the greatest Western sagas in film history. Academy AwardÂ(r) winner* George Kennedy (Cool Hand Luke) and James Whitmore (The Shawshank Redemption) take the reins for a bold, sweeping adventure that delivers nonstop excitement! When notorious desperado Chris Adams (Kennedy) is offered a huge reward to free a young Mexican revolutionary from prison, he must first assemble a cutthroat team of frontier warriors. Together, these daring gunslingers embark on the adventure of their livesand discover a cause worth more than a fortune in gold.
Amazon.com:
A capable cast led by George Kennedy helps make this third-go round for the Magnificent Seven franchise a worthwhile adventure for Western fans. Kennedy is a more-than-capable replacement for Yul Brynner as Chris, who must round up a new Seven to help rescue a revolutionary leader (Fernando Rey) held captive by a sadistic military leader (Michael Ansara, adding another notch to his long list of villains). Comparisons to the original Magnificent Seven are inevitable, and while Guns doesn't match up in terms of scope or quality of writing, the solid cast--which includes James Whitmore, Joe Don Baker, and Bernie Casey as members of the new Seven--overcomes any limitations by delivering energetic performances; the Spanish locations and veteran TV director Paul Wendkos's nods to spaghetti Western conventions are also a plus. --Paul Gaita

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - "The Magnificent Seven" are back, and they don't aim to please!
Although it's neither as classic as John Sturges' "The Magnificent Seven" (1960) nor as striking as Burt Kennedy's "Return of the Seven" (1966), director Paul Wendkos' "Guns of the Magnificent Seven" qualifies as a solidly-made, beautifully-lensed horse opera that takes our heroes south of the border again. However, this time the seven are fighting with the peasants in a greater cause to topple a draconian political regime. "Cool Hand Luke" Oscar winner George Kennedy steps into Yul Brynner's boots ...

ONE GOOD FILM DESERVES ANOTHER
This 1969 release is the second and, by far, the best of the three sequels to THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (1960). Filmed in Spain, it has a good script by Herman Hoffman and director Paul Wendkos does not stint on the action.

Rating:  - Not Magnificent At All!
Academy award winner George Kennedy sleepwalks thru this one! Very lackluster performances from the whole cast! The only reason I gave it two stars is for fairly good cinematography. Save your time and money! Skip this one!
Rating: - Without Bryner, McQueen, and Sturges--Who'd Have Thought?
After the very disappointing sequel to The Magnificent Seven, called Return of . . . , I kind of hoped they were going to end the series. With McQueen, Sturges, and the original screenwriters gone, the film just didn't work. The film was sadly filled with one western cliche after another and annoying platitudes. Then Guns of the Magnificent Seven comes out and I reluctantly go see it with a friend. I loved this film! Ten minutes into the movie and you stop worrying about how little George Kennedy resembles ... Read More
Rating:  - Homage to the spirit of the Magnificent Seven
GUNS OF THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN plays like homage to the spirit of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. RETURN OF THE SEVEN digressed into peripheral territory still within the scope of the essence of what THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN encompassed. In a somewhat Freudian approach it explored some of the microcosmic elements embodied within its characters. GUNS OF THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN returns to a more direct and straightforward story of good against evil. The strong must stand up for the weak in true heroic and American Western style. ... Read More
