Love this Western.
It’s generic and Cliché as hell, but easily carried by it’s amazing Star Power and action.
Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover,
Riding high.
“Get ready for the ride of your life.”
“A dangerous place,
in a lawless time … ’til four friends risked
all to make things right.”

“Fun”? “Joyous”??

Never thought I would like and then I caught the last half. Now I am waiting to watch it all the way through.
For me it’s enjoyable. For others I’m sure it’s pure schmaltz. But I love Westerns and much of what’s in Silverado is traditional Western movie lore. Goodguys vs badguys. Simple. No psychology. The badguys pay for their dishonesty. As they should. And the goodguys kiss their horse and get the gal and ride off into the sunset. As they should. You and I are the goodguys Don. We get the horse, the gal, and the sunset. Ride on buddy.
