Bad Barbarosa September 25, 2009 Victor R. Williams (Duncanville, TX) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
The movie was badly directed, full of cursing, and sorry acting on Willie Nelson's part.
The most underated star in America April 1, 2009 Geezer68 (Miami Fl USA) Willie Nelson should get more respect. This is his second best movie(Red Headed Stranger his best). This is a good movie bottom line. The problem is in the casting. Bussey isn't believable, the German family isn't either. Gilbert Roland and all the Latino's are perfect. I would like to see Willie get a more hip agent or manager. He's not a big star on Broadway maybe but a solid performace and one of the greatest singer's and songwriter's in America today. Have you ever looked at his songwriting credits?
Great wide-screen Western, bad DVD March 22, 2009 Alan C. Elms (Davis, CA United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
"Barbarosa" is one of my very favorite Westerns -- indeed, one of my favorite films. Its character development is impressive, its wide-screen cinematography is exceptional. Both Willie Nelson and Gary Busey are just right in their roles. But the only DVD currently available is "full-screen," i.e., with half the wide-screen picture eliminated. I won't buy this truncated version -- so when will we get the real thing on DVD?
DVD Leaves Out Vital Scene February 18, 2009 Mary Margaret Simpson (Kansas) This well-filmed western tells the story of two outlaws who join together after each one is unfairly ostracized by his family. The original film contained a critical explanation toward the end of how a common enemy can strengthen a group of people, increasing their resilience and giving them a sense of purpose. But, alas, for some inconceivable reason, that scene with the great actor Gilbert Roland (playing the patriarch of the Zavala family) was cut. Imagine "Citizen Kane" without the explanation of "Rosebud." This is still a good western but if you liked the original, you may be sorely disappointed with the DVD.
Barbarosa, a different look at the old west. February 17, 2009 David M. Muscarella (USA) I've always loved the movie, since first seeing it on Cinemax in the early 80's. I was happy with the DVD quality.
