| Beautiful and thought-provoking (by Ryo-Ohki) |
| This is one of the few movies that you can watch many times. Studi's portrayal of Geronimo shows him as proud, wise and above all, human. The only fault I can find with this movie is the fact that not enough is made of Chato and what ultimately happened to him. Apart from that this is a truly excellent movie, and a brilliant glimpse of America's unsettling history. |
| Jason Patrick in Command (by Pro Jury) |
| Charles Gatewood is a calvary officer who has no love for his country, and feels no hate towards his enemy. With smoldering intensity Jason Patrick leads a wonderful cast in a well crafted movie. As ROOTS showed us that slavery was an American reality, as COME SEE THE PARADISE taught us that the USA acted unethically during WWII, as the DEAR HUNTER told us that the troubles of Vietnam were deeper than the reports on the evening news; GERONIMO reminds us that the taking of the West was an ugly affair devoid of justice. |
| An historical western deserving classic status. (by thomastait) |
| A superior western in every respect. It is deserving of classic status, a must see film as history lived by it's participants. Like "The Killing Fields", it only touches the reality. The film reality is awesome. See it. Learn from it. |
| Excellent in all ways (by phd_travel) |
| This is a beautifully filmed and clearly told movie.The politically correct aspect about the injustices towards the Native population wasn't rammed down your throat. It was just matter of factly shown with greater impact. A little more of Geronimo's life prior to the start of the incidents in this movie could have been shown.Matt Damon is good as the idealistic young officer. Jason Patric is quite convincing too. There aren't too many annoying and one dimensionally good or evil characters like in some of the other recent movies of this genre.Do watch it if you can. |
| A wonderful and underrated movie about a great Apache! (by lostinaction) |
| First of all I'm not US Citizen, have Indian Origin or studied the so called Apache Wars in detail. But I enjoy western and when a western have at least some historical accuracy I like it even more. I have to say I was really surprised of this movie. If you expect to see a Western about heroic Indians and evil soldiers or an action loaded cowboys versus apache film don't watch it. In my opinion it's a decent portray of a great historian figure. Wes Studi did a fantastic job and is very believable as Geronimo. A strong acting from his side. It's a wonderful cast of actors in <more> |
| Wes Studi rocks Geronimo (by mindbird) |
| An interesting movie. It is more character-driven than action-oriented, although there is plenty of action. When Studi is on-screen, this movie pulsates with life--he's just great as Geronimo. In comparison, everyone else seems to be kind of walking through their parts. This may well be the director's attempt to portray the contrast between the organic and passionate lifestyle of living with the Earth versus the mechanical and passionless bureaucratic bulldozer-like takeover by soldiers and settlers. However, the portrayal of passionlessness should not be quite so studied and <more> |
| Accurate? Who Cares? Just Enjoy It. (by ccthemovieman-1) |
| How much of this is true, I cannot say. Perhaps I should do some research on it knowing how "accurate" most Hollywood historical films tend to be. For years, the white man was always the good guy; the Indian, the bad guy. Then came, the present day "political correctness" era where the Indian is the good guy and the white man is the bad guy. Frankly, I don't care in this case because this movie is simply a very entertaining film that is enjoyable to watch....and that's what movies are supposed to be: entertaining. What makes it so entertaining?1 a very interesting <more> |
| A worthile and incisive film on this subject. (by nnkk79a) |
| 'Let's start with this: All written history is revisionist. The actual events are revisited and revised in the perspective of the "re-visitor." That said, this remarkably well written, well acted, and generally well executed movie is likely the best account of the "Geronimo Campaign" out there. Head and shoulders above much of the other junk out there about this important American figure. It is, to boot, beautifully filmed and deftly directed. And the narrative approach worked perfectly with this subject. Well worth a couple of viewing hours by anyone who sincerely <more> |
| intelligence at drama's expense (by PennyLANE77) |
| This film was part of the revival the western genre had in the beginning of the 90's in the wake of Dances With Wolves. Not all of the westerns from this period are worth seeing Bad Girls is a good example of that but there are gems among them. This film, Geronimo: An American Legend being one. It makes an intelligent comment regarding the frankly despicable treatment the Apaches, among other American Indian tribes, recieved at the hands of the American government. In this lies the films strength and the presentation of this theme is the focus of the film's plot. It plays like a <more> |
