Movie Reviews of Rio Bravo [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Great movie. good but not great Blu-ray
Summary: 4 Stars
Rio Bravo: I give the actual movie four and a half stars. John Wayne is at his best and yes, Dean Martin can act. Walter Brennan is a hoot and Angie Dickinson? Grrroowrrr! The extras give a great deal of insight into the making of this classic western. As with The Searchers, there's a lot more going on beneath the surface than there appears. Many, for instance, don't realize Rio Bravo is a stern rebuttal to another classic western, High Noon.
I give the video quality three stars. The video transfer on Rio Bravo is not as clean and crisp as it is on The Searchers Blu-ray or even The Cowboys. But it's decent enough even if you won't be using it to show off your system.
Worth the buy. If you already own the DVD, you can rent the Blu-ray and watch the special features. If you don't own the DVD, go ahead and buy it. As I write this, the price is only $13.99, so what are you waiting for?
Movie Review: My favorite movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I have seen this movie too many times to count. No clue why. Key players gave great performances. Dean Martin was superb, John Wayne pure John Wayne, and Walter Brennan was wonderful. Pretty obvious that Walter Brennan made Dean Martin crack up in their scenes. Rickey Nelson was a kid when this was made and is showed but he was serviceable. Angie Dickenson looks great and gave a decent performance given her age at the time. Supporting cast well chosen and gave excellent performances. Classic good vs evil with some chuckles tossed in.
Blu Ray quality on this was good. Sharp video. Audio was also good to a great score. Overall I am very satisfied. I had the DVD, but this is my all time favorite so I had to get the Blu Ray.
Movie Review: Great in Blu-Ray
Summary: 4 Stars
This BluRay edition of Rio Bravo gives you so much more realism. The great individual characters are appreciated much more because the depth of their performance is seen more clearly (facial expressions, etc.). This is a great fun Howard Hawks - John Wayne western with a spectacular cast of supporting players, with the possible exception of Ricky Nelson, who actually does an OK job. Once you know that his part ('Colorado') was considered for Elvis Presley (Elvis had joined the army and was stationed in Germany by the time filming began) and that Montgomery Clift turned down the same role; you're left wondering, "What if...". Color, picture, and sound are excellent in this edition.Movie Review: About the blu-ray
Summary: 4 Stars
Some people say this blu-ray does not offer improvement enough over the dvd to warrant buying it. I wonder how you measure that, and how much improvement you need to buy a product that's just inherently better!!!
You can't expect this movie to look 3D, but with blu-ray you get more detail, wider range in contrast and colors, cleaner encoding, etc. How could anyone refuse to have that, I can't understand, considering the way the prices are usually slashed sooner or later.
Movie Review: Old Movies and Blue Ray
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the movie, Rio Bravo. Have seen it hundreds of times and now after watching it on Blue Ray, I seen things that I'd never noticed before. Amazing picture quality. They just gotta get more "old" standby movies out on Blue........it's like watching a whole new movie.
