The Texas Rangers Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 22, 2025
"The Texas Rangers" straddles the line between the age-old theme of honor among outlaws and the valorous saga of the Texas Rangers. While the film is competent enough for viewing, the leads' underwhelming rapport results in a serviceable movie, yet it sits comfortably in the realm of the ordinary Western.
The Nippu Jiji (Honolulu)
James T. Hamada
The Texas Rangers is proof positive that westerns can be made into superlative entertainment if produced on a large scale with a good cast.
Variety
Herb Schoenfeld
What appears to have been intended as an epic of the Southwest is just a fancy boss opry.
New York Times
John T. McManus
Things continued to happen in accord with one of the screen's most archaic formulas.
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
[Audiences] are likely to excuse the picture for its pardonable bias on the grounds of an entertainment value enhanced by King Vidor's vigorous treatment of a story largely concocted by himself, brilliant photography by Cameraman Eddie Cronjager.
Washington Star
Chris Mathiesen
For those to whom no sound is more welcome than the crack of pistols and larger arms, Mr. Vidor has seen to it that plenty of ammunition and opportunities to use it are on hand at all times.
Esquire Magazine
Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)
A workmanlike job on a glorified western.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
[A] classier-than-usual western.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A lively but uneven big-budget western.
