Movie Reviews of El Dorado
Movie Review: My favorite John Wayne film
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, El Dorado has a similar plot as Rio Bravo, and it stars the "Duke" and is directed by the same director.
But, El Dorado has a much tighter and leaner script, and doesn't contain any dreaded "filler" like Rio Bravo, nor does it have the woefully miscast Ricky Nelson. (It's still a superior western though)
El Dorado co-stars the much more effective James Caan, and the incomparable Robert Mitchum in a spectacular performance.
A great story, a wonderful and superb cast, lots of great action and masterful direction make this a "must-see" western. (that "splinters in the hand" scene has to be seen to be believed ! )
Highly recommended.
Movie Review: Better than "Rio Bravo"...
Summary: 5 Stars
While many point out that El Dorado is a remake, I think it is, in fact, better than the first movie it is based on. First off, no singing or cast based on the need for singers! This is a REAL, honest-to-God, Western, with a big "W". John Wayne and Robert Mitchum really work well together. You can feel the history behind their friendship and this adds to the conflict, the struggle, they feel, as one has to watch the other recover from crawling into the bottle. James Caan brings a LOT to the cast, really allowing a way for much of the humor to enter the film.
Not much in extras - in fact there is only a trailer. 126 minutes of fun.
Movie Review: The First John Wayne movie I saw and wasn't the last
Summary: 5 Stars
First off,I'm 21 years old and been watching John Wayne since I was 9 years old,I got it from my dad.I watched this classic with my dad one day,and I loved it,after seeing it I became a fan of both Wayne and Mitchum at the age of 9,pretty good for someone who grew up in the time of Star Wars,Star Trek and Terminator.This as to be one of my favourite movies with The Duke right behind,The Quiet Man and True Grit.And other then those two,there some other familler faces in this great movie directed by Howard Hawks.I recamend this movie not only to Wayne and Mitchum fans,but to western fans in general.Movie Review: El Dorado
Summary: 5 Stars
As all John Wayne (Cole Thornton) movies I enjoyed watching this time and time again. Also, having Robert Mitchum (Sherrif JP Harrah) in this movie added a new twist of actors that co-starred with John. Robert is a good actor and I enjoy his movies as well. Other actors that added a twist to the movie were James Caan (Mississippi), Aruther Hunnicutt (Bull) and Christopher George (Nelson McLeod). I wish there were more authentic westerns and spagetti westerns as there used to be. Tom Selleck in "Quigly Down Under" is another good one.Movie Review: Ride boldly ride.. This is for dad
Summary: 5 Stars
This is great movie no matter how many times you watch it. I'm glad I found it here. What a fine team of actors. It has fun, grit and of course fists. This was my dad's favorite movie. My Dad was a larger than life man's man, like John Wayne. He had the swagger, that look that says, "back off or prepare to defend yourself". I miss my dad so much, but I can watch this movie and feel he's sitting beside me and enjoying it with me.
"Ride boldly ride" through life, the Duke and dad did.
