Cowboys & Indians

This is the worst, I have seen better by a high school student. Too bad, good actors must start somewhere I guess. Who would write such crappy lines, using toys arrows, wow that was cheap. The trailer is deceiving, or misleading, it made you think it can be a decent movie. I think this movie should be shown to all future film students as an example of what not to do. This should be a fist year student, film critique project, make a list of what was good about the movie and the list would be extremely short. The woman Indian was so bad , I don't even want to give her attention even for being bad. That's how bad she is. I hope most of these people have a regular paying job, because this should not be a career for them . I would not make my worst enemy watch this.

With the hundreds and thousands of writers, directors and producers all looking for their break in cinema - THIS gets made?

How?

Why?

Someone, somewhere has too much money, too big an ego and absolutely no idea!

"Leading my men up there would be sheer suicide." A type of "peace" has existed between the white man and the Indians mainly because they have avoided each other. After a little skirmish breaks out a woman named Patricia (Maloney) has been taken by the Indians. When no one is up to the task of rescuing her it is up to a former officer Captain Bugle (Cowan) to go in and get her back. There are some movies that are better then you expect them to be based on your expectations. The same goes for some that you hope to be good but when they aren't as good you say it's disappointing. Then there are movies like this one. The kind that is exactly what you expect. I expected absolute low-budget lameness and that's what I got. The acting and the action (seems like they are using walmart bows) are laughable but I will admit that I kept watching just to see what they will come up with. I again am left wondering though why the western genre has fallen off lately. I wish they would make more then one good one a year. Overall, a laughable western that kept me watching just to see what awful thing they will come up with next. I give it a C-.

I accidentally stumbled across this unbelievably bad movie on a Saturday, and at first I thought it was some bad satire. It wasn't even good enough to be bad satire. Please don't waste your time. These people should be held accountable for putting out such trash to waste people's time.

The production was juvenile, the props were toys, the "acting" was laughable, and the portrayal of the natives was racist at best. How did this get made and released?

You could watch it as a comedy, but it isn't even good enough to make fun of.

Lighting is bad. In the same scene, some skin tones were washed out while others were almost totally unlit. The sound is bad (speech is similar to 'projecting' high school stage actors before rehearsals are complete)

The amount of stereotyping is shocking; Native American war chants and 'whooping' are only one example. Actors seemed totally unconvincing.

At the date of this review, there were 13 ratings of 10/10 and some reviews were written in decent English but were totally accepting of the nearly unprecedented-for-even-modern-TV flaws (November update, the trend continues: out of 139 ratings there are now 18 ratings of 10/10. Making this more suspicious, there is only 1 rating of 9/10 and another 2 ratings of 8/10. On the 10 point scale, the median rating is a more representative and honest 2/10).

My guess is that the cast, and the directors etc, solicited friends and other friendly people to watch and vote on, and in some cases review, this mess (The November update data above suggest that that guess is still on target).
