head 'em off at the pass

Rating: 1/10 (23 December 2007)

So-so B-movie western. I like the midgets in the silver and gold plastic suits, but I didn't they had plastic suits in the 19th century. The funny looking Indians were amusing sometimes, but why was the epidemic that gave them all such bad complexions never explained? The big calvary fort on the black mountain looked kinda weird, and the general in the black outfit - I take it he had asthma? - Well, I confess I didn't find him very scary, but I'll admit the deeply spiritual nature of the character.
Yes, this is one of the most profoundly religious of all cowboy movies; but I'm not sure I want religion from a cowboy movie! Oh, the hero is such a wuss! I've heard more tolerable whining from Neighbors' Gomer Pyle! - who would have been perfect in the Harrison Ford role.
no, I'd have to say this is one of the more disappointing sage-brush epics ever filmed - What? It's not a Western? It's science fiction? You gotta be joking! In that case give it a zilch and get rid of it!
