Movie Reviews of Monte Walsh
Movie Review: A GREAT WESTERN THAT REQUIRES THOUGHT
Summary: 5 Stars
Not since Will Penny starring Charlton Heston has there been a western that defies the stereotypes and presents a story that requires some thought--real thought. The thinking person's western doesn't get a lot of attention but when it does...well, Monte Walsh with Tom Selleck is all the evidence that you need.Don't get me wrong, I love a good, classic, predictable western as much as the next armchair cowboy. But Monte Walsh, and, especially Tom Selleck in the role, is a breath of fresh air. It's too bad that Mr. Selleck wasted all that time on Magnum PI (okay, I loved that too) when he should have been defining the new western hero as he has done with Quigley Down Under, Crossfire Trail and, now, Monte Walsh.
Along with Selleck, great performances by Isabella Rosselini, Keith Carradine, William Devane, Robert Carradine, George Eads, and Marshall Teague assure us that, whether it is on the silver screen or on the open plains of Wyoming or Montana, the Cowboy Spirit rides on.
Movie Review: Not a bad effort........
Summary: 5 Stars
Tom Selleck portrays Monte Walsh an aging cowboy in the declining days of the Old West. We see him face the threat to his way of life from big cattle business, railroads, and death. All through this he is unwilling to leave or abandon the life he knows. Having been familiar with the 70's film with Lee Marvin and Jack Palance, I was interested in watching the differences between the two films. There are minor differences but nothing very radical. In some ways this version is much better than the old one. I really enjoyed the way each film treats the relationship that Monte has with Martine. Each portrayed the love that they had together and the loss that Monte felt in her passing. All in all a good film. I just kept waiting for Mama Cass to sing...'The Good Times are Coming'.Movie Review: Best dang western actor, I think
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't know why I'm asked to review this movie by Amazon...computers don't make mistakes right? But I recently found a Tom Selleck 3 movie set at Walmart that had the Monte Walsh movie. I'd seen the old Lee Marvin version a few times but I thought Tom was excellent in this great story.
I highly recommend Tom Selleck as a Western star. He's super and to me has only two equals -- Tom Berenger and Sam Elliot.
Oh yes, by the way, all the actors were great in this and I was very impressed by George Eads as Shorty. Isabella Rosellini was super, too.
The Carradines are always great too. I heartily commend and recommend all the TNT western movies and I am no relation to Ted Turner.

Movie Review: Who said the Western is dead?
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has just premiered on cable TV in the UK, and I've no hesitation in rating it as one of the best westerns I've ever seen: beautifully shot, scripted and acted, and much less pessimistic than the original Lee Marvin vehicle. Yet again, Simon Wincer proves himself a western director in the tradition of John Ford, and in Tom Selleck he has found a leading man to surpass even John Wayne. I've just advance-ordered my DVD copy, and I can't wait!
