The Great Train Robbery Reviews

3/5 ⭐️

Considered the first Western film in history, this is a very simple story told without dialogue or intertitles. It has a few flaws, but considering how old the film is, those details largely went unnoticed at the time. Years later, Westerns would become the most popular film genre in the United States. If you’re studying film, there’s a good chance you’ll watch this movie in class.

I’m trying to get into Westerns, this helped! I enjoyed it, would watch again

This was actually fun

Good for how old it is

watched it for film class, not half bad

Bringing dishonor to my family 😪 (not liking country and train stuff that much)

Another early revolutionary film for its time, complete with some decent scenes. Filming was in its infancy at the time so there are some scenes that drag on too long but overall it was a fun watch.

A bit slow, but still interesting. The use of suspense, conflict, and change in prospective seems so modern. It is interesting to see the parallels between an audience over a century ago and audiences today, we love the thrill of seeing violence, crimes and death on the tv

Overall I liked it. I especially liked the ending on this one. Very unique!

Yo, bitch. Cinema peaked at this one.

Nah cause what is this 0/10

7/10

watched for film class

good

At only 10 minutes, how can you not love this?
This is such a charming piece of early cinema. 8/10

Yayyy early Western cinema

The only question I have about this film is: What did I do to the gunman at the end?
