The Magnificent Seven
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 10/19/12

"Learn or die." A bandit raids food at a Mexican village. They get assistance from a skilled gunsman named Chris (Yul Brynner), who hires Chico (Horst Buchholz), Bernardo (Charles Bronson), Britt (James Coburn), Lee (Robert Vaughn) and Vin (Steve McQueen). Has a remakable cast, memorable catchy score, splendid wardrobe and sufficient action. Only concern this critic had were its length, lack of likable characters and its entertainment value, which was a far cry from Seven Samurai. This reviewer thinks Chris is one of the best characters for its genre. A humble leader with stylish gunslinger clothing and quick/precise hands. Some good quotes from the picture: O'Reilly - "Well, now don't you kids be too disappointed if your plans don't work out." Chris - "Only the farmers won. We lost. We always lose." Nevertheless, The Magnificent Seven is a classic on its own because of its action sequences, heartfelt intent and cinematography.
