Great movie through out once again Clint is the man.

amazing western

Swimming in Western symbolism and grit. It is all very cliche, even stock, but pulled off with such panache it's hard to find much fault with it (the lonely town, and later gunfight, are glorious). But despite this awesomeness, I saw more boom mikes and equipment shadows and lack of key lights here than in any other very professional film I can think of, which took me out of it at the wrong places. Still great, besides.

It's odd of how little interest the westerns Eastwood makes on his own are to me. I don't really get much of anything but the most basic (and short-lived) enjoyment from them.

eastwood on a horse! need i say more

perhaps oddly one of my favorite eastwood westerns.

69 PSI? Noty. You can tell exactly how this movie gonna end in the first couple of minutes. Not boring but still feels like a waste of time.

Clint kills some shit back in the mid to late 19th Century. Always seemed to work pretty well.

While dazzling, concerning Western grit and symbolism, Pale Rider contains far too many 'just script readers' to enjoy fully and completely. Acknowledging this, Pale Rider has sparked a curiosity and desire to watch Eastwood in his 'Man With No Name' films.... Or perhaps I'm just too drunk to think straight.

Gammeldags og typisk Eastwood - ser den gerne igen og igen...

I will take an Eastwood western anyway I can get it but this one is an odd one. Preacher will beat your ass and help ya up, and also nail the people he helps wives. Awesome.

This seems to be a mish-mash of different ideals, moods, screenplay ideas etc. Every time that I was starting to get engaged with this something unnecessary broke up the tension or moment of the previous part (ie the soppy 'love' triangle). The attempts at humour also seemed to bog the movie down in much the same way. Eastwood was good, not as his best, but his character did have a 'mystique' in this that I do think pays homage to why he has such a good presence in most things he's in.

A little hokey at times, but always entertaining. Eastwood creates one of the most compelling characters I've ever seen. He's a preacher that'll hit a man in the groin with a sledgehammer, then help him back up. The mythical presence of the Preacher is interesting, if a bit forced. I prefer High Plains Drifter's ambiguity, but Pale Rider isn't bad by any means.

Doesn't have as much impact as "High Plains Drifter" yet still a solid movie in its own right.
