Sergio Benítez Espinof It falls short in offering something worth mentioning, already by a script that does not surprise even when it is supposed to.

Rosana B Assistindo alternadamente às versões de 1939 e 1966, poucas ou quase nenhuma mudança, uma modernização e adequação entre as duas, ambas coloridas, mas a qualidade de filmagens abismal, as atuações mais primorosas aqui. Peguei amor pelos personagens (super carismáticos, engraçadinhos e fofos, e aparentemente um pouco mais jovens) mas torci pelos indígenas, inclusão da ótima cena dos cavalos e carroça derrapando nas lamas do penhasco chuvoso, excelente filme, roteiro deliciosamente engraçadinho. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review alan g Not a good remake of the original. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review nick s The movie had plenty of spectacle and very good stunts. But I found the actual storytelling a bit formulaic and struggled to stay interested. Maybe it was just a bit too talky and lacked subtext. Also portrayed Indians as mad savages, who would keep coming even if they took horrendous casualties. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review steve d lame western that goes nowhere. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review deke p 1966 version. Embarassing. A lot of silliness, or was it supposed to be 'character development, or 'comic relief? Very few serious moments in the first hour. Except the massacre in the 1st 5 minutes. Mostly really bad, despite All star cast, including KEENAN WYNN, Mike Connors, Slim Pickins, Bob Cummings, 'Red Buttons ' & Stephanie Powers, an old chunky VAN HEFLIN, & ANN MARGRET as the saloon prostitute with a heart o'gold. There was a tense scary scene near the beginning when they had to take the stagecoach on a perilous road, downhill, in a night time driving rainstorm. Not much more about Indians attacking stagecoaches. Bing's role was worst, a 'funny' alcoholic doctor. The movie seemed to think alcoholism & drunks drinking was fun and entertaining. JOHN WAYNE played 'The RINGO KID' in the original, but Alex Cord in this one was NO John Wayne. Finally a tense shootout at the end. But this doesn't hold a candle compared wid the original 1939 version. which I gave 5 stars, cuz it is the undisputed classic. Sorry saw this '66 'remake' 4.26.2021 on THE GRIT Channel 30.3. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent cast and a very colourful remake of John Ford's black and white classic, although there's some lost opportunity in here. The action never really gets going until the last quarter which is certainly the best part of the film and includes some helicopter scenes of the stagecoach when it is being attacked, something Ford could not achieve. However, these are few and far between. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
