Movie Reviews of The Beguiled
Movie Review: For 1971, this movie should be rated PG-13. But in our current state of censorship, I'm surprised this movie isn't rated NC-17.
Summary: 1 Stars
The 1971 movie "The Beguiled" begins and ends with Clint Eastwood singing. The movie is worse. I picked this one out, bought it, and watched it all the way through. That isn't Amazon's fault. It's my fault. Save yourselves. I wish there were fractional star values for less than one star. Pamelyn Ferdin was the best part of this movie, and Pamelyn is better known for being the voice of Fern on "Charlotte's Web," as well as starring on "Star Trek" in 1968 as a young child, on "Green Acres," "Gunsmoke," other westerns, Charlie Brown specials (as the voice of Lucy), and many other TV series roles as well as several movies. She can be proud of her acting on "The Beguiled." I'll bet Clint Eastwood doesn't talk about his performance much. He shouldn't. The "R" rating is for one nude scene that lasts 2-1/2 seconds. If you have to choose between being beaten half to death or sitting through this movie, then it's an equally bad experience either way you take. Giving this movie 1 star is ten times too generous.Movie Review: Gothic Soap Opera
Summary: 1 Stars
The novelty of seeing Clint Eastwood as a manipulative but sympathetic villain is the only worthwhile aspect of "The Beguiled." Completely ludicrous and slightly perverse, this Civil War-era film shows the commotion that arises when an under-sexed group of women at a Southern boarding school take in a wounded but virile Union soldier. The more the women are repulsed by him, the more they want him. First half of "The Beguiled" is intriguing, but the last half is frothy soap opera.Movie Review: Ghastly
Summary: 1 Stars
Once you start this movie, you can't stop--not because it's so good, but because it's so bad that you have to know what ludicrous thing will happen next. I don't know many people who have seen this movie, but those who have react to its title by recoiling in horror and shrieking. No exaggeration. The story is ridiculous, the characters are all overwrought and poorly portrayed, and the finale is laughable.
