The New York Times

So studiously wild and woolly it turns out to be good fun.

By Bosley Crowther FULL REVIEW

Variety

The Comancheros is a big, brash, uninhibited action-western of the old school about as subtle as a right to the jaw.

FULL REVIEW

Chicago Reader

Michael Curtiz may be the most hotly disputed director of Hollywood's golden age; his filmography includes such classics as Casablanca, Mildred Pierce, Yankee Doodle Dandy, and The Adventures of Robin Hood, but also a numbing succession of undistinguished contract pictures.

By J.R. Jones FULL REVIEW

TV Guide Magazine

The Comancheros is not a terrible film; in fact much of it is entertaining. But it is obviously the effort of two talented men far from their peak powers.
