The Outlaw Josey Wales

What a movie! To you young people this is when Hollywood was alive and kicking. A MUST WATCH!!!!

This is easily my favorite Western of all time. It is moving and it's pacing you get the feel for what the old west would have truly been like. Not a Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Western or a shoot-'em-up bang bang movie, but a real reflection on an outlaw trying to make his way in the old west. I highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in westerns.

I loved this. It's up there with the very best "westerns" ever made.

NB: The... uh... commentary on... uh.... on the... uh... Blu-ray is... uh... another uh... atrocious uh... uh... offering by... uh Richard Schickel.
I trust the cunt writes better than he narrates.

I have forgotten the sheer variety of people places things and animals that Clint spits tobacco on bahahahaha ...worth watching for that alone

A little overlong, though 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' is an entertaining watch - with cool action sequences and a pleasing ending.

You have a strong performance from Clint Eastwood and good support showings from the likes of Chief Dan George and John Vernon. The plot is interesting and the road-esque nature of it keeps it moving well. I do think they could've trimmed the run time slightly, while Eastwood's character really didn't need to spit so much - on a dog and some insects, no less. Just bizarre, it adds zero and simply becomes an irritation.

A sequel, without the involvement of Eastwood, was released ten years after this - I'm intrigued to check it out.

This movie marked Clint Eastwood's directorial debut and he is also the star. The movie starts off in incredibly awkward fashion. The opening scenes are so awkwardly put together that it is almost like watching a train wreck. The acting in these scenes isn't much better. And then the movie seems to get on track quite a bit and we start to get into the story. Then an odd thing happened: the movie started to get interesting. By the end of the movie I must say that I was actually engrossed in the plot and the characters. Clint was... well, Clint... but the supporting cast was excellent and the script actually wasn't half-bad. It's nowhere near his top 3 westerns.

Just one of the best Westerns out there. It is n ot only is it a pretty classic lone wolf gunfighter revenge story, but also a story that gives a glimpse into the men that were fighting the civil war, the way people lived after the war as well a bit of insight into American Indian s, that is not just painted crying warriors that want to kill every white man. Just excellent entertainment with even a bit of humour.

Great film overall, watched many times. The issue with watching it many times you start to see major flaws in the plot. But still a great watch

Eastwood proves that as a Cowboy he is priceless

Watched on **HBO Max**. Good movie, with a solid plot, no defects in the narrative, and overall a classical western. It sort of shows how much of scumbags most people back in the old west era were. Nonetheless, there is honor, bravery, and courage also. This mix of lonely cowboys like Josey Wales, mercenaries like the bounty hunters, regular militias of the Union, and Indians make the movie entertaining, but also realistic. I see some nostalgia towards the South also. Maybe because the movie was based on a novel written by a segregationist southerner. I wish more movies like these were made these days for entertaining, for mass consumption.
