Movie Reviews of Big Jake
Movie Review: John Wayne - American Icon
Summary: 5 Stars
I was 11 years old when I first saw this movie. Back then, John Wayne was my idol - still is. I can remember wanting to see this movie again and again.
Now as an adult I view the movie with different eyes but I still get a thrill when I see it. It is fun. It is entertaining. It is all John Wayne. The cast is wonderful. Wayne is wonderful and Richard Boone, who I believe was one of the best actors to have ever lived, is mesmerizing.
The best scene in the movie is at the end where Wayne and Boone exchange threats. Wow. I doubt very much if anyone could have held their own against Wayne as well as Boone did. That scene alone is worth the purchase price of the DVD.
For western lovers, this is a good one.
Movie Review: A man and his dog
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone thought he was dead "Not Hardly". John Wayne and his dog make a classical Wayne entrance as Jacob McCandles, one of the last indestructible cowboys. When bad people that misjudged their advantage ransom his son, Jake is summoned to do the retrieval. The family reunites to accomplish the task and they must learn to cooperate with each other and in the process becomes a tight family again.
Even thought this is pretty much a Wayne formula there are plenty of surprises and lots of action. And my favorite bad guy is my favorite good guy from television Richard Boone.

Movie Review: Is it possible to give 6 out of 5 stars?
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie has special meaning for me. It is the first film I ever saw in the theater as a little boy. It left an indellible mark on me for the rest of my movie viewing career. As far as I'm concerned it is THE perfect Western. The Duke is at his finest, as that's something to say when you consider some of his other classics like True Grit, The Searchers, and The Shootist. As another reviewer notes, Patrick Wayne and Christopher Mitchum are great as Jake McCandles' sons. Richard Boone plays a super bad guy. And as also noted, Maureen O'Hara was simultaneously stunning, classic, and humorous. I've watched this movie many, many times and enjoy it as much today as I did as a six year old on his first trip to the theater.Movie Review: John Wayne!
Summary: 5 Stars
JOHN WAYNE THE BIG MAN! He getting older though in this one.His sons have become just as good shots as him and as John Wayne is slower and has bad eye sight it helps to a have two young men on your side.For they are up agains't a ruthless,bloody,horrible,and no mercy to anybody kind of gang.I remember the big machete brute is perhaps the worst.John Goodman is his name the front man who kill's em all....well almost.You know John Wayne will make it. But I still found one of the most exciting movies I have ever seen.It may not be hightech spac ships blasting,car crash movies but it still totes a good gun.Movie Review: Big Jake, big fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was a Wayne family affair. Michael produced, Patrick starred, and Ethan (Wayne's grandson) was featured. This was also his last pairing with Maureen O'Hara and though their scenes were few, they were classic. Richard Boone is excellent as the villian. Look for a lot of familar faces rounding out the cast. Wayne is as comfortable in this role as an old shoe. The action builds to a great shoot out climax. This movie has one of Wayne's best lines too. "You can call me Jake, you can call me father, you can call me you dirty son of a b.... This movie is worth it for that scene alone.
