Movie Reviews

Portland Oregonian - 9/10 by Ted MaharThis opulently romantic celebration of American imperialism certainly presents the contradictions and is one hell of an epic.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Ignatiy VishnevetskyThe Wind And The Lion—which was a hit, but not on the order of Milius’ later Conan The Barbarian or Red Dawn—never feels like the product of post-Vietnam America; it just comes from Milius’ imagination, where history and fantasy meet each other halfway.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeA kind of big-budget, all-star extravaganza the equivalent of which we really don't have today -- and for which mainstream movies are a little worse off.
Film Freak Central - 8/10 by Walter ChawThe marriage of epic romance and the epic romanticization of brutality.
The Dissolve - 7/10 by Keith PhippsThe film is memorable for its action scenes—from an opening raid that erupts on an eerily quiet day through a Sam Peckinpah-inspired finale—but also for the reflective moments from which those action scenes are born.
Parallax View - 7/10 by Richard T. JamesonMilius's incredible balancing act might have turned very rancid, yet miraculously his mixture of full-blown romanticism and a genial sense of its absurdity produces a deeply satisfying picture.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Vincent CanbyAn elaborate, expensive‐looking, ludicrously jingoistic historical‐adventure that comes out so firmly in favor of Teddy Roosevelt's “Big Stick” policy, 70 years later, that it could also be a put‐on.
CinePassion - 6/10 by Fernando F. CroceAn 'incoherent text' headier than any screen Kipling adaptation
User Review - 10/10 by Kevin DThis is my favorite movie to use to teach about gunboat diplomacy and America's rise to power an an imperial super player on the world stage. It also introduced Islam as a minor religious power rising to prominence.
User Review - 10/10 by Jeremy DThe movie is as epic as any classic film. Great score. Connery "certainly has the way about him." The movie does a fantastic job in its presentation of the mutual respect, and almost admiration that Roosevent and the Raisuli have for each other, even though they're essentially enemies. I like many good movies, but this has remained my all time favorite.
