Title: Ridiculous
Review: Not only is this movie completely inaccurate historically (both Jim Averil and Ella were hanged by "regulators" for starters, but that's only the beginning of the colossal betrayal of history in this film), it is so contrived and boring as to be too painful to watch. The endless scenes of screaming immigrants were beyond tiresome. The violence against women and children during the "war" scenes was obscene and completely made up...few were killed in this "war" (the movie has a cast of thousands dying), and the only women's death I know of was a hanging. I'm so tired of Hollywood's messaging...why can't we have honest Westerns, or stories of any genre without all the arrogant self-indulgence of crusading idiots.
Is the review positive or negative?
