Director Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill) clearly set out to make an old-fashioned Western, but he couldn't help bringing a hip, self-conscious attitude to the proceedings. Silverado thus finds its own funky tone--sometimes rousing, sometimes winking. 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. Kasdan peppers the somewhat generic action with smart dialogue and a parade of quirky supporting players, including John Cleese as a sheriff who seems to have stepped straight from a Monty Python sketch into an Old West saloon. Bruce Broughton supplies the music, a real throwback to the glory days of thundering Western themes. One thing's for sure: Silverado's a lot more fun than the later Kasdan-Costner Western, Wyatt Earp. --Robert Horton

 One of my favorites !!!! February 6, 2010
Lolita Batis-McCoy (Las Vegas, NV)
I had this movie as a VHS, but daughter borrowed. I was replacing this VHS to DVD for my husband Westerns collection. He throughly likes this movie.
Best Western in Decades November 14, 2009

Start first with two convicts (Glenn and Kline), add in a young gun (Costner)and a black buffalo hunter and slaughter house worker and you have one of the more realistic Westerns ever made. Simply a pleasure to watch and the Kasdan brothers wrote a great script. The blu-ray copy isn't really all that much better than the upconverted "Directors Cut" DVD and unless you have a blu-ray player and 1080p TV, spend less money and be just as happy.
Great Fun November 12, 2009

This is a favorite movie. Lots of fun. From the opening gun battle on. If you like old fashion westerns, you will like this. The Blue Ray version is well done and shows the scenary very well. The sound also benefits.
 Musical score overbearing October 19, 2009

I love this film...alway's have and I think Linda Hunt is great..The film score for the blu-ray release is way over done and just interrupts the story....you have to keep turning down your receiver
I hate that such a fun film is like this, the only other film that has music that gets in the way is Ronin.
Silverado, a great western October 3, 2009

I love this movie. I can't imagine why anyone would hate it. Silverado has action, adventure, humor and just a little romance. It's one of Kevin Costner's better performances. I thought all the actors did a good job. It's a fun movie. It was meant to be entertaining, not a documentary of westerns. I watch it once or twice a year.
