Movie Reviews of Posse
Movie Review: A popcorn movie that teaches. We need more like this.
Summary: 4 Stars
Mario Van Peebles "Posse" is a movie with flaws, but it treats its source material with respect. Unlike the shallow and silly "Rosewood" Van Peebles "Posse" gives viewers a clear picture of what life was like for African-American cowboys at the turn of the century. We get to know characters in the story. The production values are low budget, and several roles are miscast, but Van Peebles' heart is in every second of this film. He loves the material and wants us to learn as much about these forgotten black heroes as he has. Part "spaghetti western", part action flick, part historical drama, Posse is a lot of fun to watch. Mario Van Peebles, Billy Zane, Melvin Van Peebles and Salli Richardson in her first role are great. Tis one is worth owining for your collection.Movie Review: Better than the "editorial review" thinks it is
Summary: 3 Stars
Tom Keogh, whomever he may be, is quite mistaken about the quality of Mario Van Peebles film, which is somewhat more than simply a "black western." Despite the "camp" appearances of several black celebrities, Peebles brings to the film an arresting visual quality and an iconoclastic, unmistakably "dark" [no pun intended] perspective on How the West Was Lost, which is one of the biggest tragedies of American history. The historical background is suitably complex, tieing in references to the Spanish-American War. Although the lead character's gunslinging talents are made too much of, this is far from cliche.Movie Review: Sooo so bad
Summary: 1 Stars
How anyone can give this even 3 stars, let alone five is beyond me.
This is so bad it's painful to watch. The acting is awful. The story terrible. The music, frankly if I were black, I'd find it insulting. Plus Van Peebels' wardrobe looks more YMCA than cowboy
This is the biggest turkey I've seen in a while. It's a kids film... I think it would be ideal for 8 or 9 year olds - who might quite enjoy it. But honestly - it is sooooooo bad.
I was expecting to sit down and watch a good western, with an intersting slant to it. Boy how wrong was I. You've been warned.
Movie Review: This Was Terrible Beyond Belief
Summary: 1 Stars
I love westerns. But this was not only a god awful western but this overall was a god awful movie. This sucked hard because the plot was extremely stupid, the acting was terrible, and the characters were terribly written and the director did a terrible job. The entire script was terrible and this movie had western cliches of the charts. Another big problem was that for a movie called posse they didn't act like it. Throughout the movie they didn't work together well and 2 of them died early in the movie so overall this was terrible and shouldn't be seen.
