Silverado

Story got a little disjointed around the one hour mark. I felt like it skipped around, or I missed something. Lawrence Kasdan is a great film maker. His cast was wonderful.

All of the actors were top notch. Kevin Kline did quite well though the genre may have been out of his comfort zone. John Cleese was even good in his limited role. Watching a young Costner was fun.

I love it. The characters. The setting. The adventure. The drama. It’s an actor’s paradise. Everyone came to the show with a little something extra, especially Linda Hunt, who adds more charm and grace to the movie than they probably thought they’d get. And let’s not mention, the ever present sinister smile of Brian Dennehy who owns the screen with every shot. Westerns aren’t generally my thing, but this one really stuck with me over the decades. It’s my go to when I just need good story telling.

Any western which has John Cleese as a sheriff is bound to fail. Totally unconvincing - give it a miss.

One of the best westerns ever. Actually an update of the 3 (4) Musketeers. Great emsemble cast. Predictable but wel done. A must watch.

Not great, but OK. In the line of many other westerns

A Western with a very busy plot.

A great movie with a top cast.

One of the last great traditional westerns if not THE last one. The best way to describe this is this is a 50's Golden Era style western made in the 80's. The music is amazing and is the best thing easily. The cinematography is really good with amazing sweeping shots and landscapes that rival John Ford. The only issue is the action while well done including the awesome stampede, it can be a bit over the top/ a bit cliche'd at times like missing a lot of shots but in others hitting super percise like in between someones legs on the first hit. The editing isn't bad but is probably the weakest part especially in the middle. While the plot on a big picture is easy to follow, it gets bogged down at times when it jumps between all four heroes and more in the middle when other characters get introduced. It can be hard to follow at times because it gets so jumpy and has trouble relating each individual story into one tight narrative until the end battles which are well done. It defintely could be a lot tighter written and had them more together in the middle though the story lines are interesting. What helps is this is well acted and paced. It's never really boring and the characters are all memorable and stand out though some are better than others. Costner can be annoying sometimes, Paden can be a bit wooden at times but even still they're good overall. Glenn starts out stronger but kind of fades in the second half. Glover is really good and is the best thing. The villians are solid also. It defintely is a bit goofy and cheesy at times and probably could've been a bit more serious but it's got charm and is well directed and acted overall. Anyone who is a fan of any actors in this, westerns, or the director will like this.

Good movie, but an really aweful tinny and excessively laud sound track, one of the worst ever, which ruins the movie as you need to shut it down
