Anyone seen Open Range?

[HomeBrewerDude]

Is it any good?

Please, no spoilers! Though I suspect that it will be the usual K. Costner formula.

I've nver heard of it.

I want to see it. It looks really good, especially the scene where Costner asks "Are you the one that killed my friend?" BAM!

It's ok. The gunfighting is better than average. A little bit heavy on the meandering plot and the conversations seem to be riddled with cliches and never realy advance any characters. Over al a 7/10.

sounds like typical Kostner, but better than his last attempts at directing. I think I will wait for the dollar theater.

That's what I was going to say. Costner is never a sure thing...

I haven't seen it, but it's actually gotten some decent reviews. It may not be half bad.

 

[filmmaker]

On the dialogue side it is heavy. Most of the action comes near the end of the film.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

Just once I would like to see Costner cast himself in a movie where he:

doesn't get the girl
doesn't save anybody
doesn't beat anyone up

I suspect it is impossible for him to do though because he is such a buttmunch.

Very slow, but I think the realisim was done well. (way of life, conditions, etc)

If you want to waste some time and really enjoy westerns it would be worth your while, otherwise pass on it.

 

[tboo]

I liked it. Its been a while since I have seen a good western.

 

[FlashG]

I liked it a lot. It had the same feel as Silverado. A little slower pace but more realistic in the way people lived and died in the late 1800's.

 

[Descartes]

I liked it simply because it wasn't a regurgitation of the typical western story (e.g. Wyatt Earp, OK Corrall, etc.). It was a story about otherwise normal people. I thought the dialog between he and the doctor's sister was extremely tiring.

Hmm... I think I might go see it then. Silverado was a great western.

I liked "Tombstone" but it didn't get good reviews. I bet I'd like "Open Range"

 

[quackagator]

It was great

 

[TheeeChosenOne]

Great Movie!!

Fantastic shoot-outr scene at the end....as if you didn't know already from the previews and everything else you know about Westerns!

But Tombstone was just danged cool. Did The Quick and The Dead get bad reviews? I liked that movie a lot too (except for Leo).

 

[SilentZero]

I enjoyed it. Some parts were boring, but overall it was a good western.

The quixk and the dead is the worst movie I have ever payed money to go see.

I saw Freddy Got Fingered!

Saw it last night of a spur-of-the-moment decision. Good western. Little slow in parts perhaps but a nice change compared to the all action-no story of most movies nowadays. Gunfight at the end is one for the history books -- very, very good and even had kind of an "Unforgiven" feel to it (though I would say this movie is not as good as Clint's masterpiece). One very nice touch: this movie has the best gun shot sound effects I have ever heard.

That sounds like a Van Dam movie too except he always gets to have sex with the girl in the middle of the movie.
