Movie Reviews of Chisum
Movie Review: Chisum better than no Chisum
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't know where to start other than saying that the movie Chisum is better than having no movie about John Chisum. I'm afraid Hollywood has done another number on history when it would have been just as easy to do a correct film. Where to start? Sallie came West with her father, James, brother's Will and Walter from Denton County Texas. Also her other uncle Pitzer was at the ranch as well. None shown in the film. Sallie never was "back East" and was just a girl of 17 when she came to Roswell (Where they lived, not near Lincoln.) John Tunstall was 24 years old, not middle aged as every film is somehow required to shown. John was 64 when he died, I guess you can call him aged. William Bonney was a meek, young, wet behind the ears, follower until there was not many left to led the Regulators. A product of the media of the times. John Wayne gives his usual good performance in this type of role. He can only follow the script. It's interesting, worth the money if you don't expect to find history here.
Summary of Chisum
Although Chisum stars John Wayne--playing a benign variation on his Red River empire-builder --he's curiously sidelined in this umpteenth retelling of Pat Garrett, William Bonney, and the Lincoln County War. Sam Peckinpah would direct the world-class version of that g?tterd?mmerung, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, three years later. This version, directed by Andrew V. McLaglen in a slightly less broad vein than usual, is just odd--not least because it omits Garrett and Bonney's celebrated final confrontation. Geoffrey Deuel's Billy is a pleasant juvenile who scarcely seems delinquent, let alone murderously psychotic. Glenn Corbett's characterization of Garrett consists mainly of wearing a seriously BIG hat. There's an irksome rivalry for Chisum's perky niece (Pamela McMyler), and a Dominic Frontiere score that's the Western equivalent of elevator music. Chief scoundrel Forrest Tucker seems bored, but Christopher George, Richard Jaeckel, and Bruce Cabot get some juice into their villainy. --Richard T. JamesonChisum showcases John Wayne in the twilight of his remarkable 200+-film career. As John Chisum a real-life cattle king determined to protect his empire against a land-grabbing developer (Forrest Tucker). Wayne's no-nonsense persona snugly fits this lively reworking of the events of New Mexico's 1878 Lincoln County War. "Directed in fine sagebrush style by Andrew V. McLaglen and beautifully photographed by William H. Clothier" (The Warner Bros. Story) Chisum is the kind of sweeping brawling Western that made Wayne endure as a star.Running Time: 111 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/MISC.
