Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

M MALIK how is it possible that they made the third film in the series & it is also the worst just like previous 2 films this also fails to entertain.the story do i really need to tell here no sir its the same lame story of some Mexican dude wants help of American gun boys,no one from the original cast returns here the director is changed with everything its just a remake of the original i say,why bother making it again yikes.Joe Don Baker is added here but he gets wasted here it was embarrassing for the whole cast they were not interested in this trash.the bad script & action goes useless here again with zero impact for fans.my rating is 1/10 this is the 3rd worst film made in the series as guns of the magnificent seven 1969 fails to impress.please save your time & cash & Skipp this i have wasted mine & i am warning you.

MartinHafer I was going to say that "Guns of the Magnificent Seven" isn't as good as the original, but the original would be Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai". Well, the original American remake of this film, "The Magnificent Seven", is pretty much what you're getting here--but with a much less exciting cast. Otherwise, it's very, very familiar--like a remake of the remake! While George Kennedy, Joe Don Baker, Bernie Casey, James Whitmore and the rest try, you can't help but think that they are a second-rate cast compared to Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, James Coburn and the rest in "The Magnificent Seven". This is especially a problem because Kennedy is supposed to be playing Brynner's character--a man who looks and acts nothing like him!! Kennedy is a fine actor--but not nearly as menacing and intensely cool as Brynner. I tend to think of him as the nice-guy character from "The Dirty Dozen" or the likable lug from "Cool Hand Luke". Heck, they even forgot to dress Kennedy's character up in black! As for the rest, it's pretty much the same--nice actors but that's all. The music, by the way, is exactly the same as in the first film. The only real differences were the bad guys--federal troops instead of just bandits AND the racial element which was included in the 1969 version since race had become a HUGE national issue between the films. Overall, a very entertaining but stale film. It's just not different enough and seems like a remake of "The Magnificent Seven" instead of further adventures of these men. It is, however, marginally better than the previous film "Return of the Magnificent Seven".

tavm I just watched a Spanish-dubbed version of this movie on YouTube since it was the only full version I managed to find online. Since there was no closed captioned English subtitles, I relied on the visual touches and reading the Wikipedia synopsis beforehand to figure out what was going on. After watching, I then reread that synopsis, looked at some actual clipped scenes in the actual English on YT, and read some of the reviews here. Anyway, since this was the first time I've seen any of these Magnificent Seven movies, I watched this one with a fresh perspective. George Kennedy, having done many major supporting parts for years, is the lead character and even just going by his facial reactions, projects authority and respect for his character. I also liked seeing newbies Bernie Casey and Joe Don Baker initially cause friction for each other before respecting their differences. And while there were many scenes that threatened to become shocking by their brutality, director Paul Wendkos never crosses the line into redundancy concerning the violence. So on that note, despite the language problems, I highly enjoyed Guns of the Magnificent Seven.

xredgarnetx GUNS is the second sequel to MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, and George Kennedy takes over from Yul Brynner in the lead. As unlikely as this may sound, Kennedy is reasonably convincing as a steely-eyed hired gun who ends up doing good for good's sake and rescues an imprisoned rebel leader south of the border. In the end, he doesn't even take the money. The group that ends up riding with Kennedy is a mixed bag, as this was shot in Spain and some of the performers are clearly foreign. Watch for an almost-unrecognizable Joe Don Baker as one of the Seven. Monte Markham and James Whitmore are two others. The action sequences are well done for the time, but there's an awful lot of talking and sitting around in between. I hate to say it, but even with Kennedy playing the Brynner character and the use of the original theme music, this supposed sequel is in name only.
