      Audience Member Man this is WAY more manipulative than I expected. I was hoping this was going to be just a good ol' singing cowboy horse dancing kinda flick and instead it goes from sweet horse innocence to mean make-your-kids-cry in like 20 seconds! This movie is about how Roy Roger gets Trigger, so in that sense it's sort of worth the watch. But it starts with sweet horse romance, complete with a scene of horse line dancing, and ends with HORSE MURDER by shotgun AND cougar. Shit's messed up. My 1000-Yard-Stare Pal Trigger imo Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review don s Seemed to be a little less singing in this one, which was a plus. The story is too simple, and the delineation of good guy vs bad guy is just too stark to be believable. It is not painful to watch, but I can't say I enjoyed it either. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know who this director is, but he gets some DAMN good acting out of horses. His tale of majestic horses in horsey love makes me want to do something inspiring, like maybe ride a horse. Nobody sells a "Tarnation!" like Gabby Hayes. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Yakima Canutt was the Premier stuntman in hollywood for decades and basically invented the genre Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 6.5/10. Better than average Roy Rogers western. Gabby Hayes is particularly good. Short and moves along at a good rate. Pleasant score. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I really like Roy Rogers because he can sing, ride a horse and brawl with the rest of them. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
