I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
the audience applauded
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
This is the best film i ever Saw. I liked the scene of the raptor in the water the most. The most funnie film ever!!
Watched 'Cowboys vs Dinosaurs' knowing exactly what to expect, with the title (a dead giveaway off the bat) and premise the film has. Was expecting it to be ridiculous and not particularly well made. Part of me was hoping though when watching out of curiosity that it would have a little entertainment value and be a small guilty pleasure. 'Cowboys vs Dinosaurs' is not a good film by any stretch and doesn't have enough to it to make it a guilty pleasure. It is a mediocre at best film that has its good things but its bad things are pretty awful, and sadly as indicated there is too much of the latter. Having said that, 'Cowboys vs Dinosaurs' also could have been far worse and there are definitely worse films around, dinosaurs or not. It gets a couple of brownie points for at least knowing what it wanted to be and not being intelligence insulting. It also didn't leave me completely bored and there were signs of some story.The scenery and photography are not too bad. Neither is the jaunty music score. John Freeman, Rib Hillis, Casey Fitzgerald and particularly Sara Lane give reasonable performances. Unfortunately the rest of the acting is very bad, especially from the rest of the women. And then there is the biggest name Eric Roberts sleepwalking through his role. The characters though in all fairness are not that interesting or easy to get behind, thanks to sketchy development and stupid character behaviours. Then there are the special effects for especially the dinosaurs, which were quite terrible. Not much personality or menace to the dinosaurs either, when they weren't being "there for the sake of it and not much else" they were pretty goofy. Writing is rambling and juvenile, while the direction is fairly characterless and while there is more story than expected it's a ridiculous one as well with very little tension or suspense. The last 20 minutes takes camp to a whole new level and this is not meant in a good way, culminating in one of the silliest endings seen in a while. So all in all, not good but also not a complete waste. 4/10 Bethany Cox
He rode a triceratops like a bull and that's all I wanted from this movie. 10/10. there was terrible acting, and terrible CGI. I was expecting this from a movie called Cowboys vs Dinosaurs though. but all in all, if this movie came out in 1996 this would be a classic. I loved it. it was stupid as all get out, but fantastic in its own way.
It's absolute garbage. Absolute trash. It was really good right up until the very end, and then it was like it didn't know what it was anymore. This is a film about dinosaurs eating people. No one is watching this because they want to see a human hero, they are watching it because they want to see dinosaurs eat people. The dinosaurs in this film are who you are rooting for, not some dumb a-word dude and his love interest.Let me tell you at the end of this movie no less than three human beings are alive. Not one human alive. Not two humans alive. THREE human beings are alive at the end of this movie. It's the absolute worst.Even at the end I was just about to applaud because there was a surprise, but then... Cut to credits. WTF? Cut to credits...Here's what the ending should have been: The happy couple is standing together proud of themselves for defeating all the dinosaurs. Then, out of nowhere and with no explanation as to why it was there... a giant dinosaur shows up, and one bite is all it takes. Their legs are all that is left and the legs wobble a bit and fall over and then cut to credits and let the audience applaud.Instead it's some crappy ending where a final dinosaur appears and it could be taken either way, maybe they'll all die, or maybe the fight will go on. It just isn't satisfying, and that is the difference between one star and ten stars.Don't get me wrong there are some applause worthy moments in this movie. Not a lot, but enough. It's just the ending is so terrible that all you can do is feel bad that you sat through the whole movie for that.
