July 10, 1985 - This marvelous Western , as long as epic , has become a classic , being stunningly and finely crafted directed by Lawrence Kasdan who also directed another awesome Western as ¨Wyatt Earp¨ . Furthermore , he made other good movies as ¨Body heat¨, ¨The big chill¨ , ¨Grand Canyon¨ and ¨Dream catcher¨ . Rating Silverado : Excellent but overlong as the runtime is approx two hours and some .

When a mischievous motley crew of Old West cowboys arrives in a small town to seek their fortunes, they clash with corrupt leaders and old enemies.

On this film, Kasdan pays his homage to the western genre, by resurrecting it from the dead(besides the occasional Clint Eastwood western) in a more modern and refreshing way with a great ensemble cast of Scott Glenn, Kevin Kline, Brian Dennehy, Danny Glover and a young Kevin Costner in an early role. The story and direction is tight, the film looks great and is driven by a lot of action and solid performances. Although this is a movie that would be appropriate viewing for the whole family, Silverado is far from stupid and holds its own pretty easily against other classics of the genre.

In contrast to later neo-Westerns like Dances With Wolves and Unforgiven — which were really anti-Westerns, or deconstructions of the myth and the romance of the old West — Silverado cheerfully focuses on those aspects of Western lore that can still be unabashedly enjoyed: strong, competent heroes who stand up to bullies; pioneer spirit; family ties and loyalty among friends. As critic Brian Webster points out, Silverado has cowboys but not Indians, because it’s hard today to make a feel-good movie about cowboys and Indians.

Four cowpokes converge on a little Western burg called Silverado; they're played by Kevin Kline (a distinctly modern kind of Western hero), Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, and the rowdy young Kevin Costner.

May 20, 2020 - Co-written and directed by Lawrence Kasdan, Silverado was abig-budget western, something that was considered a dead genre in the ’80s despite the string of quite good westerns that came out in the decade (another good one? Clint Eastwood’s Pale Rider). In what was probably a self-fulfilling prophecy, Silverado was considered a box office failure, and a projected sequel never materialized. Such a pity. The movie in fact had everything to be a smash hit – a good, traditional story (bunch of oddball characters take on a range baron), incredible locations (the film was shot entirely in New Mexico), a stellar cast of up-and-coming actors (Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, Kevin Costner, Brian Dennehy, Rosanna Arquette, John Cleese, Jeff Goldblum and Linda Hunt) giving excellent performances, great action set-pieces, beautiful music score…

November 15, 2022 - Pretty deadwood is still deadwood and I’ll bet my bobble-head moose that anyone else familiar with this movie would be able to identify the same unnecessary scenes that I did. What redeems Silverado and makes it a perennial favorite of mine, is that it contains a really nice blending of drama, humor, and action. It knows when to be serious, but more importantly it knows when to lighten up. There are some zingy little chuckles to be enjoyed. Emmett and Paden are two pretty formidable dudes in the best western tradition and the irrepressible young Jake has a lot more personality than you’d normally expect from Kevin Costner.
