Billy the Kid

got what i expexted
i enjoyed the story itself more then the overall production of the movie anyone with eyes can see that this was a very low budget movie and for that reason i didnt expect it to be mind a young guns or a clint eastwood movie so i enjoyed it good story bad name.

Solid western film
Being an old fashioned western fan I was pleasantly surprised to see this new take on Billy The Kid. The gunfights, scenic vistas, and ruthless cowboys remind me of the early Clint Eastwood directed films and relay the desolation and struggles of the old west perfectly. Its not an easy task to make one of the most ruthless gunfighters a likable guy but that's what this Billy The Kid film does to a tee. Hoping a sequel gets made as there needs to be more story driven action packed westerns like this and Lionsgate is the company to do it!!!

Bad acting, bad writing and not really a movie about Billy the kid at all. Seemed like movie was made for $5. I say D+
"That town's dangerous right now." After an outlaw gang threatens to take over the town of Dogma a lone bounty hunter named Leon comes in a kills the leader. When the rest of the gang hears about this they are looking for revenge. This is another movie in the long line of what I have started to call the $5 western...because the movies look like they were made for $5. The acting is pretty bad but that is expected in a movie like this. Also it's hard to tell if it's the acting that is bad or if its the writing or a mix of the two. The "gunfights" are laughable but that isn't the biggest complaint I have of this movie. The movie is called Billy The Kid...but the character of Billy only is in it for about 5 minutes. This is pretty much an origin story of why Billy was like he was. Overall, pretty much what I expected from a $5 western. I give it a D+.
