A gorgeously shot, fair-minded Western that honors Geronimo and the Apaches, but doesn't demonize the U.S. Cavalry. Vastly underrated and far superior to Dances With Wolves.

A sober-minded film directed by Walter Hill

Superior western, mostly historically accurate. Directed by Walter Hill with strong cast.

Visually, action director Hill may be paying tribute to Ford's Westerns in the way he positions the chase and fight scenes against the panormaic vistas, but this Geronimo is curiously bland, neither absorbing nor stirring.

Not-half-bad historical biopic. A strong cast helps out a whole lot.

A film of great beauty and considerable intelligence.
