Lack of good storyline.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Am I Missing Something?

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I usually read but not write reviews. Now... I needed to write. The main reason is that I did not see anyone of the reviewers have noticed how badly the character of antagonist is developed. First he is introduced to be a cruel, cold-blooded gang leader, who does not blink his eyes when killing police officers. And suddenly towards the and he becomes a coward trying to escape justice. I mean how? How exactly this could be possible in the wild west?Otherwise it is an OK movie, worth watching, though towards the end it becomes a boring mixture of revenge and love, not quite understandable.By the way, it is worth to watch the movie just to see Viggo Mortensen's stunning act!

This movie is quite slow, but hey, its a western after all. My favorite part is when the whore tries to split up Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris' bromance and fails miserably. Also, that 10 gauge shotgun is a metaphor for his dong. The bad dude in the movie is also very well acted. The whole movie you're just begging for revenge on the guy (I won't spoil the ending for you though) The only reason I took off a star is because Renee Zelwigger is freakin weird looking and her character drives me nuts, which makes her numerous spankings (both verbal and physical) from Ed Harris all the more satisfying. Overall a great blend of a traditional western with the building vengeance and methodical pace, mixed with elements of the modern. I give the bromantic part 10/10, 9/10 overall

I cannot believe that so many good actors (Zellweger excepted) have put in so much effort in such hot and sweaty locations and come up with the most cliché-ridden "Western" I can remember. It took 30-minutes into the movie for me to realise that it was not a comedy and that it was actually meant to be taken seriously. Irons, Zellweger, Spall and Mortensen are the least convincing Western characters imaginable and for Ed Harris to put his name to it (as Director, screenplay writer and actor) is probably the greatest mistake(s) he's ever made. Sorry Ed, it don't get much worse than this. Never mind the worthless awards, this is rubbish of the first order. Still, locations and costumes were decent. Just a pity about everything else. The tag line was "Feelings get you killed" : whatever, beats watching the movie.

"Appaloosa" is a good, fast-paced western. And while the movie is about two hours long, it doesn't seem like a long movie at all because the story is interesting and captivating.The story is about marshall Virgil Cole and deputy Everett Hitch who has come to Appaloosa to uphold the law and to investigate the disappearance of the former marshall and deputy.Usually westerns have a tendency to be full of clichés, but I didn't really think that to be the case in "Appaloosa". And director Ed Harris managed to put together an entertaining movie with a solid and proper storyline.The cast in the movie was quite good, and Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris were both doing amazing jobs in "Appaloosa". But also impressively was Jeremy Irons; his usual overacting and dramatizations wasn't there, and he put on one of his best performances of his career. And there was a great appearance by Lance Henriksen.It should also be said that the atmosphere and mood of "Appaloosa" was really good, and it was like you were actually there in the gritty, dusty old west.If you enjoy westerns, then you should most definitely watch "Appaloosa".
