Chisum (1970)
Should I see it?
Nope.

Chisum

Not all of John Wayne’s films are great. This film proves it. Wayne portrays John Chisum a cattle baron who gets entangled with cattle thieves. He saddles up with Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid in the process. It's like seeing a film about a kid dealing with a bully and having the kid taking up with Batman and Robin Hood. The biggest problem is that surrounded by iconic cohorts, Wayne's own larger than life persona feels like a parody of itself. I know some John Wayne fans may disagree, but I've always considered this to be one of his worst efforts.
