Return of the Magnificent Seven
Return of the Seven is a passable sequel, and I love Yul Brynner so much that this was worth the watch. Also, I just felt like watching a Western gunslinger movie. Return of the Seven also boasts the very, very handsome Robert Fuller, as well as a gorgeous revisioning of the original Magnificent Seven score by Elmer Bernstein. The plot of Return of the Seven, however, is... half-baked, and the entire film feels like the second and third acts of a film and not really a full film. I guess they were assuming I've seen The Magnificent Seven, and, like, I have, but that was 20 years ago (Literally. In 2001.) But even for sixties audiences it would have been six full years! I don't know. This sequel assumed a great many feelings about characters that I just didn't carry with me. This was more of a sketch of a film than a film.
