How the West Was Won vurderinger og anmeldelser
- Brian Wright19. november 2025Visually, mostly stunning throughout with the odd rear projection scene looking jarring on a large modern display. The sound is a bit thin and tinny but clear as a bell. The restoration they've done is quite incredible. There's some very dated cheesy scenes to modern tastes and they sure had a thing for young girls with old men but it's a piece of cinematic history and a must watch.
- eif99912. august 2025I had a hard time connecting with this one but the train action near the end was exciting. For the most part the extreme wide screen looked cool and it’s a beautifully shot film. But the history is incorrect. The film is watered down to such a degree that it when Jimmy Stewart savagely puts an axe into a man’s back or when Walter Brennan murders a man at point blank range none of this strangely bloodless violence is ever more than an act for the cameras. Someone else here called it Disneyfied and I agree. Also seeing old men constantly romance woman a third younger then them ages this like milk. Finally for an all-star cast most of the big stars have small walk on roles.
- Mister Arn17. juni 2025“How the West Was Won” is a sweeping Hollywood epic directed by John Ford, George Marshall, and Henry Hathaway, featuring a star—studded cast that includes John Wayne, Henry Fonda, James Stewart, Debbie Reynolds, Gregory Peck, and Karl Malden. Told in five chapters, it follows a single family across generations as they navigate key moments in the settling of the American West. At nearly three hours, the film runs long, and its episodic structure leads to uneven pacing—some segments soar, while others drag. Still, many scenes are gorgeously shot, and the scale is undeniably impressive. This isn’t a film built for emotional nuance, but for spectacle. If you’re looking to feel deeply, you may be left cold. But if you want to see Hollywood’s grand, romantic vision of the West in full Technicolor glory, this is the ride to take.
