This movie is boring as all hell.

Dull, but Viggo is very good

I enjoyed the twist. Harris, Mortensen, Zellweger shine, Irons again hits the mark.

Good classic western. Awesome acting.

Viggo Mortensen's performance is fantastic. I thought Renee Zellweger was miscast, and Ed Harris seemed uneven, possibly due to the heavy workload as director, co-writer, and lead actor.

The cinematography was beautiful but the story was too simple and there was not much character development. The love story was lame and was only there so that Renee Zellweger's character could predicably form a wedge between Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris. If Clint Eastwood had directed this...

The script is strange and tries to show every western-cliché there is (the scene with the puma is on the other hand short but pretty fun, almost like in the 60:s...)The only good thing about the movie is the end credits with some really nice still-photographs.

It's a pleasure to watch such gifted actors interact in a classic genre.

Appaloosa shows a square jaw and a steely gaze, but also a smile and a wink.

Appaloosa is gripping entertainment that keeps springing surprises.

Appaloosa demonstrates a better sense of history than Paul Thomas Anderson's hysterical There Will Be Blood. But Harris isn't a good enough director; he loses the mythical air that drives home a great Western's point.

It's high time for the western to be resuscitated as a genre; a picture that just pokes along amiably isn't enough to get the job done.
