The Villain

Rating:
Summary: A cinematic cartoon
Review: What a waste of these great actors and actresses. You'll laugh, all right, but from embarrassment, not humor. If you're looking for a great spoof of Westerns, look no further than Mel Brooks' classic, "Blazing Saddles", which is the movie this one was trying to be, but failed.

Summary: Live-action cartoon
Review: What fun! I stumbled onto this movie in progress on a program called "Golden Age of Comedy Movies." I paused when I saw Arnold and Ann-Margret in an old western, curious as to what this was. When Ann-Margret leaned out of the train and handed Arnold her bags, nearly falling out of her low-cut dress in the process and saying, "Take hold of these," I knew this wasn't a serious drama I was watching. When Kirk Douglas showed up, I was hooked. It's impossible not to make comparisons with The Roadrunner cartoons as Kirk Douglas performs impossible leaps and survives intact after being crushed by a giant boulder and hit by a train. His trusty sidekick, Whiskey the horse, is a pure delight. It's odd to see Arnold in cowboy garb. His job is mostly to look studly and his lines mostly consist of, "I really don't know!" delivered with a bewildered look. Definitely a one-of-a-kind movie. Don't watch it if you're expecting great acting and writing, but if you just want to get in on the fun of big name stars acting very silly, you'll love it.

Summary: Perfect for the kids!
Review: When my grandkids watch a movie, I want them to watch something like "The Villain". They can learn about life later and enjoy this Road Runner like real action cartoon in the meantime. Been my favorite for 20 years.

Summary: One of the funniest, worst films ever!
Review: Yes, this film was awful! But so is Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker and Mickey Mouse. If you appreciate them, and are in a silly frame of mind, there are few films that will make you groan and laugh as much as this one. Warning: See it only in a silly frame of mind. Otherwise, you will hate it!
