What's next?

Loved the film and the return to the classic western. It left me wanting more . . . wish they'd have made a sequel. The talent in the film was too good to have left a second film un-produced.

If you want a film that hits all the touchstones of the classic westerns, Silverado is the film for you.

My score = 75/100 August 26, 2008

Larry's over-the top Western

This film was released in the same year as Eastwood's "Pale Rider" and was supposed to signal a renewal of the Western genre. It barely succeeds because of Kasden's writing and direction, "Silverado" is totally lacking in a central character with too many subplots and no central theme like "Rider" which has held pretty well over the years (I, myself, still prefer "The Outlaw Josey Wales")--it's like a Western on steroids. There is plenty of action here, but hardly no full bodied characterizations here like Brian Denehy's villain could have been better developed but only emerges as a one note bad guy in the writing. You may as well have been seeing Indiana Jones in his cowboy gear for all I care since Kasden doesn't know when to stop . In fact none of the characters in this film are particularly memorable except perhaps Kevin Kline and Ms Hunt as the diminutive bar keeper who Kline takes a liking to but even their characters seem paper thin here too!! I don't blame Costner either for his ridiculous portrayal of the Kid since he much preferred to play Scott Glenn's character instead--again blame it on Kasden. Entertaining, but instantly forgettable like a Big Mac!! June 12, 2008

Wide Screen

Love westerns. Silverado is a great movie,my wife watched this movie and she does not watch westerns but this one had a good story and plot.We do not care for wide screen movies and do not buy or rent them. Wished this one came in full screen.

Silverado

Silverado is a good action packed western. You also get a good dose of fun, laughter, adverture, and a good story. The actors mesh very well to give you great entertainment.
You get all this, and a happy ending. If you like westerns, you will enjoy Silverado. Buy it and enjoy it as often as you like. I did, and I do. So can you. April 28, 2008
