4.0 out of 5 stars Howard Hawks last film, 11 Jul 2004
By websurfer (Portugal) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Rio Lobo [DVD] [1970] (DVD)
This 1970 western marked the end of director Howard Hawks carrer. Although this film is not as good as the previous classic Hawks westerns(Red River, Rio Bravo or El Dorado) and this one as a story line similar to Rio Bravo and El Dorado, it is a nice western one of the last made in a classic Hollywood style.
Beguining at the end of the civil war with a fantastic train robbing sequence, Rio Lobo gives Wayne one more chance to display his carisma and blow off the screen the young actors that appear in this picture.
Also with veteran Jack Elam in an amusing role that reprises the Walter Brennan caracther in Rio Bravo.
The dvd presents a nice copy of the film with mono sound and lots of subtitles but being one of Hawks and Waynes westerns and the last film of the director it should have had a documentary. Essential for Wayne/Western/Hawks fans.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty dreadful after the first bit, 7 Jan 2009
By Kentspur - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Rio Lobo [DVD] [1970] (DVD)
I've been watching a few John wayne westerns and saw this cheap in the Zavvi clear-out sale. After the initial Civil war set train robbery, the thing degenerates into a nineteen seventies Western TV show in terms of acting and production values. Any time Jennifer O'Neal is on screen is a bad time.

John Wayne and Jack Elam do their best, but this is a real stinker. Compare and contrast with 'Fort Apache', 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon' and 'The Searchers' or - if John Ford's not your taste - 'Rio Bravo' and 'True Grit.'

Painful, but two stars as the train robbery opening is pretty good.

4.0 out of 5 stars EVERY INCH THE CLASSIC WESTERN..............., 30 Jul 2008
By L. Hay "Saturnicus" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Rio Lobo [DVD] [1970] (DVD)
How can I say anything bad about the Duke? This movie from the Howard Hawks stable is the classic John Wayne effort. Ex-army Wayne goes to the rescue of a small town run by crooked lawmen.
Perhaps not as good as some of his other movies, it is nevertheless not a disappointment. The Duke is as hard-drinking and hard-hitting as always and is ably assisted by a first class Jack Elam and Jorge Rivero.
I withheld the fifth star, because I could not tell the girls apart and thought one would have been adequate. They were so perfectly groomed with modern eye makeup, they were totally out of place in a one-horse-town.
The opening scene of a train robbery, I thought was particularly clever.
Whilst the Cavalry was absolutely immaculate, the Rebels were a disreputable mess but bubbling over with enthusiasm. As always, I was rooting for the South.
Was the director by any chance a Yankie?
Fans of the great man will not want to miss this one.
A very good film.

I agree with everything Kentspur has written.

The first part of the film is excellent.

The second part is abysmal. Read more
