My Review-
I Had since the beginning of this movie in a film class that I took a few semesters back and I thought it was shot really well, and I wanted to finish watcing, and it took me this long to finally watch it, for reasons unknown. I Enjoyed this movie since I like Western movies I think I can put this one near the top of that list, along with a few others. This one of the Western movies that I saw with the most blood and violence in it, most of the Westerns I watch have it spaced out and at times do not last that long, in this one it was almost every other scene. I do admit it was too long it did not need to be that time that i was may like 15-20 minutes shorter and it would have been perfect. I loved the cinematography and how certain scenes were used in the film especially the opening credits I always thought that was pretty cool ever since I saw that clip of it in class. I also liked the music score that would come every now and then it made it sound authenic and the way the movie felt made it seem like you were actually in that time era. At times the movie did drag on and I found myself a little bored, but the action scenes were awesome and some of the acting scnes were as well. Even though it had its flaws at times it was stil a great Western movie that defined a new era of Western movies that would come later, I also thought it was cool to see Ernest Borgine in something other than Mermaid Man from Spongebob I got to see him in a serious role as an outlaw cowboy and that was pretty awesome. This is a must watch movie for anyone who loves movies or Westerns in general it will be enjoyed for how well it was made and for the shootout scenes that are really good and well shot. This is one movie I would watch again but at a later date since it is one of the longest Western movies I have ever seen.
