Description

One town without hope is about to meet seven men without fear! Lee Van Cleef takes on the role of the legendary Chris Adams in this thrilling, action-packed finale of the hard-hitting western film series! Married and on the side of the law, Marshal Adams (Van Cleef) has settled in Arizona Territory. When his wife (Mariette Hartley) is killed, Chris tracks down the gunmen and administers swift justice but then discovers that a nearby border town is under attack. A ruthless horde of marauders has killed all the men and will come back for the women Â- unless Chris and his bold recruits can stop them. Outnumbered, but with a steely resolve and an arsenal of firepower, the gunfighters saddle up for the fight of their lives!

4 out of 5 stars Not Academy award movie but entertaining.......2007-01-09

Follows along the original movie lines and provides good acting and plot while being entertaining.

4 out of 5 stars Brand New 7 Doing Their Number .......2006-12-07

This is a brand new 7 doing their number or so the poster said. According to the United Artists Pressbook this is not a true sequel to the three preceding films. Instead it is a tale of a brand new Seven rooted to themes and traditions that the earlier films embraced. That same United Artists Pressbook also pointed out that this film contained a very original and innovative story while not abandoning the thematic idea of seven gunmen coming to the rescue of the downtrodden. Chris is the main character of this film and the entire story revolves around him rather than the seven as a cohesive force. Chris, portrayed by a very engaging Lee Van Cleef, is an ex-gunman turned town marshal and now married. Where all three previous films opened with a protracted conflict affecting the lives of poor Mexican farmers, this film has no apparent immediate danger that would draw Chris into and away from his current lifestyle. Needless to say, that changes dramatically. This film really caries no formula recognizable from THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN but approaches the conflict with a bandit hoard quite differently. The conflict, the motivations and the stakes are all different. This film lacks the grandeur or depth of its predecessors and plays out acts of violence for effect rather than substance. Elmer Bernstein apparently assembled a much smaller orchestra perhaps feeling a need to bid farewell to the Seven with a whimper rather than imply some majestic idealism as the sun was setting fast on day of the Western.

4 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Suspenseful!.......2005-10-04

I can't say I was expecting much from the final Magnificent Seven movie, but with Lee Van Cleef in it, I had to check it out. Of course, nothing matches the first film, but this one is better than Return of the Seven, which I thought had a weak premise. "Ride", however, begins a bit weak, but once Chris gets on the trail, its an absorbing story that will leave some sweat on your palms. The usual "Seven" situation is given a twist by making it a village of women to be defended against further rapine and the way that Van Cleef must ensure the allegiance of his current allies. The current crew does not have the charisma of the original Seven except for Van Cleef, Michael Callan, and Luke Askew. Askew's character is fun to watch, since he is the ultimate test of Van Cleef's leadership. This makes the ending both appropriate and humorous. Van Cleef's method of tactical dispersal of the women is ingenious and helps give some definition to some of the characters. Overall, I was impressed by how small a budget it must have taken to make this film and yet it's an effective, enjoyable movie.

5 out of 5 stars The magnificent seven ride on DVD!.......2004-07-09

All of the Seven movies had wonderful moments and Rides is no exception. This excellent fourth Seven film is a very entertaining Western. I'm so glad they put this great movie on DVD!

3 out of 5 stars MGM has gone BAD!.......2004-06-15

MGM is now releasing all their movies in widescreen ( which is good )but they are not ANIMORPHIC (Enhanched for widescreen T.V.'s.) Previous releases were animorphic so this doesn't make any sense. I can only assume there is a new guy at MGM and he is an idiot! The president is completely unaware of what's going on which makes him the same. Other recent DVD's are "Follow That Dream" and "Shalako". If this is unacceptable send MGM an email.
