Anthony Bell

The score does its job though nothing more. A fair 5.2/10 from me.

Dylan Morris

Building on that, every shot feels like a painting. Don't miss this one.

John Chard

After Costner's Dances With Wolves and Eastwood's Unforgiven had reignited interest in the Western genre in the 90s, Richard Donner and his team felt the time was right to unleash a light hearted Western on the mainstream audience. Timing was important, as was the casting, yet Maverick is the sort of family friendly fun that could in truth be released at any time in any decade and still be a hit at the box office.
