Movie Reviews of The Undefeated
Movie Review: Undefeated
Summary: 4 Stars
A Good movie;A John Wayne movie with a very nice cast, the usual Harry Carye Jr.Ben Johnson,John Agar,Paul Fix and many other great people. Especially from the time it is great to see Merlin Olsen and Roman Gabriel from the Football movie actor Era. The added plus is we have Rock Hudson in the movie.Not to forget the movies leading ladies Lee Meriweather,Marian McCargo.The women are very nice looking and they would be if they were in Rock Hudson's family. The time era of the film is after the American Civil War. John Wayne is your Northerner and Rock is from the South. The deep South. John Wayne is with his loyal men who are finanical ruined after the war and need to take home money to their families when they return.They band together to run a herd legally.The Rock is a family man who has lost everything even his country. The Southerns are lured to Mexico with false promises and high hopes. The Northerners are going to do business with Mexico also.John Wayne and the men end up helping the Southerns. Enemies but John Wayne and his men have honor and help the Southerners.Most importantly fellow Americans. The Civil War tore us apart and threw us together. There are great elements in the movie action,love,honor in people,human weaknesses,saddness,and some historical correctness. The movie is not anyone's best movie but it is not the worse either. Good entertainment with a good mix of plot and history. John Wayne and the Rock's only movie together. The movie shows everyone in such great shape and takes you back to great movie times.Watch and Enjoy.Movie Review: Often overlooked is the GREAT MUSIC
Summary: 4 Stars
Of course, I'm a John Wayne fan, so I probably can't be terribly objective about this movie. Obviously, there are serious holes in the story (a Confederate colonel will let his daughter ride off with a Cherokee????? Nahhhhhhh). What is often overlooked is the marvelous score by Hugo Montenegro. This is one of the great western soundtracks, just a step behind the all time greats (The Big Country and The Magnificent Seven). If you're into western soundtracks, you probably already have seen this movie, but if not, don't miss the marvelous work done with the trombone sections.The movie is entertaining, and with a great deal of humor. Actually, this is probably one of Rock Hudson's better roles ( I can't bear him in those fluffy Doris Day comedies) in that his comedic talents are allowed to shine without being ridiculous. Loved Roman Gabriel as a football player.....but as an actor...well, um, noooooo.
Movie Review: Entertaining Wayne Western
Summary: 4 Stars
I like almost everything that Andrew V. McLaglen directs. This film has quite a lot of good things to recommend it. Mostly I like the opening Civil War scene and later Wayne, Rock Hudson and company doing battle with the invading French down in Mexico. There's enough humor, action and emotion to go around not to mention Hugo Montenegro's very good score.Movie Review: Avg but plesant western
Summary: 3 Stars
If you are looking for a rip roaring western of high quality, a film you will take with you to your grave, this isn't it.
If you are looking for a pretty good John Wayne stock company film, with a few LA Rams (Olsen & Gabriel), some cool fight scenes, (4th of July party), a little history (the French Occupation of Mexico) and several interesting characters, McCartney and Mudlow and a small Richard Mulligan part, then this film will be a fine diversion for a day.
I'm not sure it is worth buying, but it is worth watching.
Movie Review: Kind of a disappointment...
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie kinda of leaves everyone hanging. I wish that it would have had 30 more minutes to tie up alot of loose ends. Also The Duke's Charactor kinda of get's portrayed as an opportunist. Other than that it's a good Duke film.
