I’m just happy to cross this franchise off my checklist, a sharp decline in quality with every movie at least provides the comfort that something’s never change

A not so magnificent end to a the definitive western saga. One would have thought that having Lee Van Cleef as Chris would have been a good idea; it isn't.

Joa gut wenn man erst danach erfährt dass es der 4. Teil einer Reihe ist🤦‍♂️

Von der Story bisschen der Prototyp von Suicide Squad. Leider genauso austauschbare Figuren und auch genauso ein irrelevanter Bösewicht wie bei Suicide Squad von 2016.

Der Sheriff is zwar cool aber der muss natürlich so wahnsinnig “maskulin” sein, dass er nach der Vergewaltigung und der Ermordung an seiner Frau nichtmal einen Hauch von Emotionen zeigt und sich dann gleich 2 Tage später in die nächste Frau verliebt, naja.
Über das sehr fragwürdige Frauenbild in dem Film sag ich jetzt mal besser nichts, war nunmal ne anderen Zeit…

Actionsequenzen, locations und die Musik waren immerhin ganz gut und anscheinend sollen die Vorgänger wohl deutlich besser sein. Vielleicht lohnt es sich da mehr rein zu schauen.

this movie is even more messier then the first, they didn’t took time building the plot which leads to only seeing the villain once which is in the final fight, the action is alright

Chris’ wife gets raped and killed, he finds 2 of the conspirators/guilty peeps and kills them both but the 3rd that he himself let free from jail gets killed off screen by the big bad. Call me crazy but that isn’t satisfying at all, especially when it happens in the first 30 minutes 😕

As is the case in this series there’s long talks of morality and being killers, there’s sporadic action which is all fine but as a package it’s all just ok.
