Rotten Tomatoes stated.. "War for the Planet of the Apes combines breathtaking special effects and a powerful, poignant narrative to conclude this rebooted trilogy on a powerful—and truly blockbuster—note."
film grossed nearly $500m making it a big success, and a well rated one too.
Pretty gripping scene, lots of shootin:

A splendid reminder of all those old Westerns that entertained me as a kid and still do as an adult. 50 best Westerns ever made? :eek:

John Wayne and Clint Eastwood feature strongly. :)
Curiously one of my obscure favourites is Angel and the Badman. Comedy to the max. Available in a colourised version for nothing. The opening scene got edited from the B&W original. The reason John Wayne is riding so fast when he falls off his horse is he's got about 10 bad guys on his tail.

I am a bit baffled that (spoiler) "The Searchers" came top. I didn't enjoy that film at all. Though Vera Miles never looked lovlier. Clint's "Outlaw Josey Wales" for me. Made me cry. And that takes some doing. I am a tough guy too, er, in my dreams. :D
One-Eyed Jacks, 1961. Directed by and starring Marlon Brando, with Karl Malden and Ben Johnston.

Although Guy Trosper, Calder Willingham, Rod Serling and Sam Peckinpah all had initial credits as screenplay writers, the finished article, was many say witer mostly writer by Brando. The film wasnt actually finished by Brando, as he got pissed off in a way only a genius could.
It was a strange fictionalised tale originally that ended up more like fact.
excellent western.

Didnt rate well but made a handsome profit. Decent enough action film, if non challenging
Pirates, 1986. Directed by Roman Polanski and stars Walter Matthau.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...rates_1986.jpg
The film was shown at Cannes then on release.. It crashed and burned financially..
It is well enough acted and set, but script left a lot to be desired. Typical Polanski in that everything is just a bit too realistic.
