Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
rizemancustomsllc The actors are still alive and Netflix has done a ton for movies lately... It's time for the final ending for Silverado...
sol- Four heroic individuals keep running into each other as they trek to the same location for diverse reasons in this popular lighthearted western from Lawrence Kasdan. The film was released during a time in which western movies were on the decline and it received some acclaim in its day for paying tribute to the conventions of the genre. Watched as a contemporary viewer though, 'Silverado' is a far less riveting affair. The film's best asset is the colourful cast with the likes of Kevin Kline, John Cleese, Brian Dennehy and others at their most charismatic, however, by attempting to include nearly every western trope in the book (saloon fights; shoot-outs; stolen horses; burned houses; jail breaks; etc), the story comes off as rambling and rather bloated. The film also features so many principal characters aside from the four protagonists that one never gets to truly know any of them in real depth, and the film feels unfocused rather than deliciously complex as one might hope for a film with such an onslaught of main characters. The movie is certainly entertaining in parts and there is no denying the attention to detail with the period sets and costumes, however, the film makes one yearn for the alternative westerns that started to emerge in the 1970s, such as 'High Plains Drifter', that actually tried to do something more than just throw some rousing action together.
LeonLouisRicci You know there might be trouble in Dodge City when Kevin Costner gives the most endearing Performance in an All Star Cast. But that's not the only problem with this Entertaining, but surprisingly flat, supposed Homage to the Classic Western.It sure is a bloated and beautiful Film, full of many things but shallow to the point of distraction. Clichés are here by design and that is acceptable but that's not enough. There has to be something more, something to make this stand out as its Big Budget demands. Actually the horses and cows show as much panache as the Cast.Everyone seems underwritten and unresolved accept at the most superficial levels. There are jarring inconsistencies in the Editing and the Gunplay is so sterile that it hardly penetrates beyond old TV Stuff. There are some things that make this watchable, notably the Scenery and Costner's before Stardom, free-style of a Jitterbug, Pulpy, twirly Hotshot.Overall, it is a mild and Family Friendly Western done in an era of blood filled Screens. A definite throwback but without much Style. It just sort of is there for the Popcorn Crowd and is a somewhat Overrated Oater that has some charm but not enough to make this anything more than slightly above Average.
rblais-790-117183 This has to be THE worst movie I have ever suffered through during my 57 years of breathing oxygen on this planet. It is not worthy of any more words from me. This is the first and last review I will ever write for IMDb being that they actually see this movie fit for review. OK, so the actors may have had fun making this movie, but I did not have fun watching it. I apologize to all movie lovers for giving this movie a rating of " 1 " . It does not deserve it, but I am as corruptible as the next guy, and will give it a 1 only because I have stooped so low to actually review this criminal production. I want to apologize to my family and friends for not only watching this rubbish, but actually commenting on it. If there is a hell in our universe, then I hope to go there and suffer for the crime of giving this movie any acknowledgment at all. My I suffer in eternity - it can't be as bad as the suffering I've been through watching Kevin Coaster make a total fool of himself in the worst movie ever made. Thank you for reading, and I apologize to you if you did.
