This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A great movie, power packed cast, well written and firected. Probably one the ten best westerns ever filmed. My only gripe is the lack of a sequel, but this would have been hard to top.

Continuing my plan to watch every Kevin Costner movie in order, I come to his second movie of 1985 Silverado. Plot In A Paragraph: A bunch of misfits team up, to right the wrongs in a town called Silverado. Quirky and fun, it's more of a flashier western, in the mould of Young Guns or Tombstone, than Something like The Outlaw Josie Wales or Pale Rider (the latter released the same year) with beautiful location photography, a fantastic score (which was one of the 2 Oscars the movie was nominated for) it's a very fun easy watch.It's a cliché story with stereotypical characters, but each of the four leads (Kevin Klein, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover and KC) performances are so good, none more so than KC, it never for one minute bothers you. Here he shows great promise for more important roles in the western genre. His fast- moving performance is a lot of fun, and he makes the most of his role. KC establishes his character as a likable egotist right from the start. Of the four lead actors, he is he is the only one that looks like he belongs in the western genre. I don't think it's bias, if I say KC steals this picture. Watching it now, it's clear the guy has Stardust all over him.It's not without its problems though..... There is enough plot/sub plots and characters for two movies. The movie is saddled (yes pun intended) with an overly complex storyline involving numerous subplots. For example each of the four main Cowboys has their own subplot, as do other characters, and it ends up a bit disjointed, and contains a handful of characters that are just unnecessary to the story. John Cleese seems to think he is in a different movie and Jeff Goldblum (of whom I am a fan) looks totally out of place in a western too. But the faults can't stop the enjoyment of the movie. Grossing $32 million at the domestic box office, Silverado ended the year the 28th highest grossing movie of 1985.

I sometimes jokingly tell people this is the greatest Western I have ever watched. Then I wonder if I really am joking.From the opening scene where the buddies meet up to the introduction of the baddies and their actions. All seems plausible due to very good direction and writing. Yes there are clichés, but in a good way.If you like Westerns of any sort you will enjoy this movie.And now, a word about review length requirements. I added that longer middle section to fulfill the length requirement. I don't really think it adds to the review and I think shorter reviews should be allowed. After all, this last sentence would not be necessary at all.
