    I thought American Outlaws was excellent. I was never bored the whole way through it. The action scenes were fantastic. The cast was wonderful and I will be watching it over and over.

    It was an awesome movie. I liked it. But thats me. So don't e-mail me telling me how you thought it was. I don't care! lol I especially loved all the music but am disappointed that they didn't have 4 songs from the trailer in the soundtrack. But o well life goes on.

    I thought this movie was great. Sure, it may not be the most oscar winning approach to a movie, but I doubt it was intended to be. It's just pure fun, and some of the historical features are very true. Who cares if it's directed towards teens? My mom loved the movie, and it's nice to see a movie that's funny and good that doesn't have tons of sex everywhere in it. It's like dumb and dumber (the funniest movie ever made) it's a great movie, but critics hated it, a movie doesn't have to be sad to be good. It just has to be entertaining, and this definitely was. WELL DONE! Expand

    If I could give this movie an 11 I would, This is the best movie I have ever seen, the story line and the plot are excellent and the fact that there are very good looking men in this movie doesn't hurt matters much. My favorite was Frank (Gabriel Macht) he's just to cute to be true. This movie rocks and I recommend this to everyone! If you haven't seen it your yet to realize the meaning of life! Expand

    I thought that this movie was quite well done. True it wasn't historically all there, but this was made to be a "movie" not a documentary. And maybe it's not so bad for the "teen" audience to see such movies, as these outlaws have a moral structure. Imagine that, teaching morals!

    American Outlaws kicked @$$!!! This move not only had that fine guy Scot Cann but it also told the greatest tale of the wild west. The James-Younger gang is the best told story of all time.

    Excellent, critics just plain suck!!! I saw the movie, sure. some of it was far fetched but I enjoyed it, no F word!! Im tired of the F word in movies today it seems the only word in the scripts. This movie rates with me, I loved Gabriel Macht, he was excellent!!

    Not the worst movie I've ever seen, but definitely a stinker. Why not just parade the "stars" on screen without dialogue or story to please the teeny girls and quit pretending they are in a movie?

    for being a newer remake of jesse james i thought it was great, I like the more up beat action than the old western spin they could have done like tombstone. But i liked tombstone too, overall it was a great movie and i own it.

  1. Some stories are eternal. They will not go away. They are told and retold for generations. Take the story of Jesse James --it is not one of them.
  2. It's a sad day for film lovers when the best thing that can be said about a Western is that it's pleasant.
  3. There's no escaping the hackneyed plot or Mayfield's conventional hand. So don't go.
