Leave your thoughts about Silverado.
| Lawrence Journal-WorldJon NiccumEngrossing western that never got the recognition it deserved |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis movie is more sophisticated and complicated than the Westerns of my childhood, and it is certainly better looking and better acted. |
| Empire MagazineIan FreerEngrossing western which inspired a huge genre revivial. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomA wonderful homage to the Westerns of old, with some hip, contemporary twists. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinSilverado is sufficiently modern to make its landscapes bigger, its people smaller and its moral polarities less powerfully distinct than those of simpler, more starkly beautiful westerns gone by. |
| Movie MetropolisJames PlathThe actors shift gears effortlessly, playing their parts with seriousness when the situation calls for it, but also enjoying those moments that are intended to be fun. |
| Wall Street JournalJulie SalamonIt's best when the carefully chosen cast throws itself into developing characters and building their relationships. When pure storytelling takes over after an hour or so, the picture becomes less original and engaging. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThis 1985 western does a decent job of developing some dry 80s humor without completely undermining the genre, yet Kasdan's considerable skills as a plot carpenter seem to desert him as soon as the story moves to the town of the title--the action turns choppy, confused, and arbitrary. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusBy the time the credits roll, we’ve had a whirlwind tour of virtually everything you can do in a Western. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrAgreeable but never compelling, Silverado proves it takes more than love of the western to make a good one. Maybe the dudes at K-Tell were a mite too slick for the job. |
