Movie Reviews of The Outlaw Josey Wales
Movie Review: Dirty Harry on a horse
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the books this movie was based on. So I really looked forward to seeing how it had been adapted to screen play. I think they did a pretty good job at it. The only negative I have to say was it was too bad there were no actresses available to play the female lead. Where did they find Sandra Locke? At a truck stop?
Josie Wells wife and son are killed in front of him and he becomes a vengeful killer during the Civil War. After the war he heads west collecting a group of characters as he goes. He rescues a group of pilgrims (my usage of the word pilgrim here is in the John Wayne definition of pilgrim)among whom he finds the (gag) lovely young daughter played by Sandra Locke.
Entertainingly violent in the style of the modern western. Kind of like Dirty Harry on a horse.
Movie Review: Intriguing revisionist western
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bottom Line:
I've seen a lot of westerns (and at least 5 Eastwood ones alone) but I don't think I've ever seen one quite like The Outlaw Josey Wales, which sometimes meanders during the course of its 135 minute running length but tells an interesting story and is directed with flair; I wouldn't recommend it if you haven't seen many westerns, despite how good I think it is, but if you want a different take on the genre check out Josey Wales.
3.5/4
Movie Review: A good kind of ridiculous
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't actually finished the movie yet, class too much of the time, but I seen most of it. The beginning is a little awkward for me, too quick and rushed: plowing the fields with his son, sudden disruption of life as the civil war destroys his home and kills his family, and then all of a sudden he's a hard-nosed killer. However, can't wait to see how it ends!Movie Review: How Can You Not Love This Movie?
Summary: 4 Stars
One of my favorites I can watch over & over again. The only reason I give it 4 stars is bcs of the chick.
Honestly, I really don't know what CLint ever saw in that woman, at least as an actress. She's always been terrible.
I love the old indian-everything he says cracks me up.
Especially the part about his mule surrenduring.
Too funny!
Movie Review: Great Film, Poor Quality DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
Eastwood's directorial debut. Good film showing the travails of Indians.
bad quality dvd that stops and skips. You would think that the manufacturer would spend .50 cents to eliminate viewing problems.
