Movie Reviews of Jesse James
Movie Review: "If we're gonna have law and order in the 5 Stars
......the first thing we gotta do is take all the lawyers and shoot 'em down like dogs!""Jesse James" starring Tyrone Power and Henry Fonda has been a DVD on my short list of "must-haves" for a number of years. And, it was worth the wait! The audio and video quality, as well as the packaging are wonderful. This is one of those special motion picture jewels from 1939 - It truly was a VERY GOOD year - the year many call the Golden Year of Hollywood. But this movie has often been lost in the accolades heaped upon the others - "The Wizard of OZ", "King Kong", and "Gone With the Wind" - just to name a few. The performances here are top notch, which is a given for the stars (Power & Fonda), but is reinforced by the incredible supporting cast, most notably including Randolph Scott, Brian Donlevy, Nancy Kelly and John Carradine (as the "coward" who shot Mr. Howard). But the star among stars here is Henry Hull. The sheer fun of his tongue-in-cheek performance as the curmugeon newspaper editor, who is always chomping at the bit to dictate his next scathing editorial, should not be missed. A must see for young and old alike - a classic that truly stands the test of time.

Summary: 5 Stars
A fun movie to watch that added to the legend of Jesse James. Was he the Robin Hood of the west as the movie protrays? Who cares, this is just classic old time western fun. A great cast that Includes Tyrone Powers Jr., Henry Fonda and Randolph Scott!! That is three aces right there.Follow the adventures of the James boys as they are almost forced to attack the evil railroads and the robber barons that ran them. Doesn't that sound familar in this age where many people distrust the big corporations of today? Really though, do not get to philosophical over this. It is a western, and a good one at that.Movie Review: jesse james
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen this movie back in 1939 and have always considered it a
good movie for Tyrone Power. It is just a good western and feel it
took me back to when the movies were interesting and clean. Jesse James
just holds your interest.
