Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Kilmer IS "The Kid"
William Bonney aka Billy The Kid - a much portrayed character right out of the pages of American history. The bad boy we love so much has been the subject of so many great Hollywood films. To mention a few of the best there's "Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid" (Kris Kristofferson),"Young Guns" (Emilio Estevez) and 'The Left Handed Gun" (Paul Newman).So when reviewing this film it's hard not to compare to those but Gore Vidal's "Billy The Kid", although not quite the "A" films those are, is certainly ...

BOUGHT AS GIFT THEY SAID WAS WHAT THEY EXPECTED



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I was there
This is a great story. Best Billy the Kid ever and written by Gore Vidal. After about one week of filming, Val Kilmer was really into his character and actually looked like the picture of William Bonney. I was there. I was the Location Manager on this film. It was shot at the Old Tucson Studios in Tucson, AZ. Gore played the Preacher in the Cemetary. You can check it out of IMDb.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not a big budget movie, but good entertainment.
This is not a glossey high amp western with a great sound track like the Young guns set. It doesn't even cover much of the Lincoln county war. What it does have though is a somber and gritty realism.

He shows him as a some what awkward troubled adolecent with a wry sense of humor. And when he has the famous portrait done,with that toothy grin, he really ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good but not Perfect
This movie was pretty good, and I speacially like how they had Billy not drink much in the beginning. Sadly, they did the traditional thing and made Billy have very few partners. In the movie, Billy and Tom kill Brady and one deputy, in actuality, Billy, Jose Chavez Y Chavez, and 4 other regulators killed Brady and 3 deputies. I also hate how they skip the entire Lincoln county war.

Kilmer did good as Billy, but they made him too cold blooded. I admit, Billy wasn't a romeo or a Robin Hood, ... Read More
