BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

adrianswingler I don't understand that ratings on this one. The titles rave...and they give it 5 or 6 out of 10. Did someone convert the scale? This is definitely in the top 15% of the genre.What an enjoyable "Zapatista" Spaghetti Western! Yeah, I know it's not Zapata's era, but that's the style of the movie. So many great little inventive bits that are so Spaghetti Western. New to it all or an addict, I think this one would satisfy anyone that isn't an avowed hater of the genre.I suppose a lot of the negative reviews come from people that believe the title and posters. Yeah, it's not really of the Sabata filone. But just forget the hype and watch it for what it is and I think you'll certainly enjoy it.

TankGuy Adios sabata is basically an all guns blazing action movie. It is extremely high on action and the bodycout rockets. Among the action are lots of shootouts, fistfights, explosions, an ambush and an epic scale battle sequence.Yul Byrnner plays sabata this time round, but he's just as good as Lee Van Cleef. One of the best things about this movie is sabatas rifle which fires off several bullets and even houses one cigar.Adios sabata is just as cheesy as the first sabata movie, if not cheesier. The fight scenes, shootouts and deaths are spectacularly staged in spaghetti western B movie fashion.The battle between sabatas motley army and the austrian forces is one of the highlights of the film. It makes ear blasting use of cannons, rifles, dynamite and Gattling guns which is how a movie battle scene should be.The characters are very likable and are very well played. The theme tune is excellent. The best sabata movie and the best spaghetti western.This is a must see for anybody. A masterpiece

astrofilms-1 Hands down the best movie of the Sabata Trilogy. I saw all the movies in the Sabata Box DVD Trilogy set and Adios Sabata (Indio Black) was not even meant to be a third Sabata film but Lee Van Cleef was unavailable for this third Sabata film being on the Magnificent Seven Ride! So ironically the great actor from the original Magnificent Seven, Yul Brynner was cast!! Don't get me wrong Lee Van Cleef is marvelous as Sabata in the first two Sabata films, but Brynner is just better as Sabata in this last Sabata film. If you can get past some sloppy film production typical of Spaghetti Westerns (bad voice-over dubs, Italian actors playing Mexican characters, fake overacted gunshot deaths sometimes without even blood...etc) then you will be rewarded with a stylish, tongue-in-cheeky western that rivals the best Spaghetti Westerns ever made!!This Spaghetti Western has such a talented all-star cast, starting with the great thespian actor Yul Brynner who's gypsy style and charm bring depth to the character. And the musician Dean Reed who plays the slick yet tricky sidekick. The music from the great Italian composer Bruno Nicoli in this film rivals that of the maestro of film music, Ennio Morricone. The film music in Adios Sabata just ROCKS. Even the wardrobe is beautiful. This film was produced by Alberto Grimaldi who produced all the major Spaghetti Western including Sergio Leone's Dollar Trilogy. Even Quentin Tarantino has highly regarded this film and selected this film once for his film fest.Overall a slick Spaghetti Western complete with original electric guitar rock music, awesome gun-play / weapon gadgets, double/triple crosses, stylish wardrobe/props that make this movie a classic in the Spaghetti Western genre!!

johnwaynefreak Firstly, this is *not* a sequel to 1970's "Sabata" ("Ehi amico... c'è Sabata, hai chiuso!") although it can be considered a follow up of sorts. Lee Van Cleef did not reprise the role until 1971's "Return of Sabata". "Adiós Sabata" was originally about a character called Indio Black and completely unrelated to the previous Sabata story - Indio, I believe, was meant to be nothing more than a bandit. The name was changed to cash in on the success of "Sabata" - though this film could be considered a true Sabata entry as a couple of stars return (Pedro Sanchez, Gianni Rizzo) and the screenwriters and director are the same. Gianfranco Parolini (Frank Kramer) perhaps out does the previous film here, keeping everything tighter - "Sabata" was a little too jokey (although still excellent and one of the truly great Italian westerns) whereas this is blatantly tongue in cheek. I feel the music is better in this film, never intrusive and always fitting: a triumph for Bruno Nicolai, despite the fact that it is incredibly reminiscent of Morricone.As Sabata, Brynner is a kind of anti-hero counterpart to Chris from "The Magnificent Seven"; he even dresses out all in black here too. Gérard Herter is great as the Austrian Colonel Skimmel at the time of Emperor Maximillian's Mexico - a kind of borderline camp, Bond villain type, complete with monacle and perfectly trimmed moustache. Oh, and yes, he is a dead shot with a rifle. In "Sabata", Franco Ressel's Stengel had his shootout's behind man shaped shields (to live at the peak of danger or some such nonsense) as his playtoy; Herter's Skimmel has an even better one - a drawer beneath a model ship that when opened fires each cannon on the model directly into whoever opens the drawer. Like "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (which this film contains some surprisingly subtle references to) the plot centres around a shipment of gold: Sabata, Escudo (Sanchez) and Ballantine (Dean Reed) want the wagon load of gold, but it is also coveted by Maximillian's rebels. The scenes with the gold and the gold dust being poured out/spilled is nicely complimented by Nicolai's incidental music which really does bring out the joy of the characters.I personally think it's a shame that Brynner and the others weren't brought back for another Sabata film because he plays the role much straighter than Van Cleef did and really does come across as a tough guy here, who doesn't need to rely on his gun. "Adiós Sabata" is a classic in it's own right and doesn't need to be viewed with the other Sabata entries. It's only downside is that after surpassing the superb original, it left most people disappointed with the later "Return of Sabata".Are these subtle hints to Leone's 1966 masterpiece? Sanchez: "Me, I'd make a hiding place no-one would find - stick it in the ground, maybe in a cemetery..." Reed (the last line): "Hey fellas - are you gonna help me pick up the gold or not, you sons of...!" (music takes over)
