Stephen C 1 hour and 36 minutes of fantasy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review kyle m Capturing the innocence and wonder of a 1950s western, Tall Tale heavily leans into the mythology of the wild west, giving folk heroes like Pecos Bill, John Henry, and Paul Bunyan the awe and reverence of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. With legendary cinematographer Kaminski, the world comes alive with gorgeous viduals. Swayze gives it his all, and Oliver Platt turns Bunyan into a humorous grump of a giant. It's aimed for the little kid inside all of us who wanted to be a cowboy. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A farm family, in 1905 old west, must ward off a land baron and the family kid employs the help of some American legends. I think most people that have heard the legends of Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan and John Henry have a preconceived notion of what they look like and how they act. This movie doesn't hold to my preconceptions. The one exception is Roger Aaron Brown as John Henry, I knew exactly who he was when he appeared on screen. Oliver Platt got a few laughs out of me, but his Paul Bunyan looked more like Radagast the Brown from the Hobbit movies than a lumberjack. I feel Patrick Swayze was miscast as Pecos Bill. I just wanted Sam Elliott in that role. Scott Glenn plays the lead kid and he did a passable job. The story had some weird twists and turns that didn't work for me. Also, why is Catherine O'Hara in this movie? What is the point of her character? It is a fun premise with a poor execution, but if it sounds like something up your alley then check it out. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Bonitinho, esperava que fosse especificamente sobre a lenda de Pecos Bill, mas foi um historinha fofa, sendo introduzida a lenda, muitas cenas de ação, mas para os guris curtirem mesmo, pouco drama, participação razoável de Pecos Bill, nada muito espalhafatoso ou especial, mediano… Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite movies as a kid Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This Disney movie was alright. Patrick Swayze, Scott Glenn, Oliver Platt, Nick Stahl, Roger Aaron Brown, and the rest of the cast did a decent job in this movie. The plot to the movie was kind of adventurous and entertaining. It wasn't as great as I thought it would be. If you haven't seen this movie yet, don't waste your time. In my opinion, it's really worth watching.
