Wild Wild West
Awful 7 Points 1999

On watching this film a long, LONG time after having first seen it, I realise just how terrible it is – in every sense, this film is a joke. Will Smith, normally the one saving grace in any terrible film (just look at Hancock) can’t even rescue this one.

A Fistful of Do...
Great 7 Points 1964

The Spaghetti Western trilogy begins with a ruthless and intricate film in “Dollars”. Clint Eastwood shows even in his first film performance that he was destined to own the Western genre, and Leone’s hallmarks (starkly beautiful vistas, memorable Morricone score) are all present. A fantastic d…

3:10 to Yuma
Great 13 Points 1957

Definantly worth checking out even if you’ve seen the remake. It builds a great sense of tension and the verbal sparring between the leads is fantastic. The final five minutes when they make their way to the train station is a bit dissappointing but until then its an exallant film.

The Proposition
Perfect 13 Points 2005

One of the finest Westerns ever made, The Proposition is a bloody, haunting, beautiful, violent epic poem and the savagry of man, the harshness of nature and the country of Australia.

Seraphim Falls
Very Good 17 Points 2006

A union officer with incredible determination and 9 lives is pursued by a cruel rebel make a good story for Seraphim – a solid western with a hard edge, a cold stark setting, and a gritty demeanor. You should definitely see this movie if you are a western fan.

Cowboys & Aliens
OK 17 Points 2011

Eh well – I guess you could say this Movie 2.0 Mashup was entertaining for its novelty but looking at its components: western – not that great, sci-fi – not that great, you end up with something that didn’t use the combination to make the sum greater than its parts. That’s too bad, because it h…

The Homesman
Very Good 17 Points 2014

One of the most unique Westerns I’ve ever seen…. Tough homestead spinster “Plain as an old tin pail and bossy” Hillary Swank volunteers to take 3 insane women from their harsh Nebraska homestead to Iowa to get care. The movie gives a glimpse in to what it was like to live a brutal existence: …

Jane Got a Gun
Good 17 Points 2016

Natalie Portman and Joel Edgerton are very good in this respectable western that focuses more on character study than your typical shoot-em-up fare

Hickok
Barely OK 17 Points 2017

Despite roles by Chris Kristofferson, Luke Hemsworth, and Bruce Dern- this movie was plagued by bad acting, bad writing, and a non existent story line.

Tombstone
Great 17 Points 1993

Every possible plot you’d want from a western is weaved in to Tombstone, and a stellar cast makes this film a must-see on any fan of the genre’s “must see” list. Kurt Russel, Val Kilmer (who is great imho), Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton , Powers Boothe, Charlton Heston, Jason Priestley…. Need I g…
