Metacritic reviews

So studiously wild and woolly it turns out to be good fun.

The Comancheros is a big, brash, uninhibited action-western of the old school about as subtle as a right to the jaw.

The Comancheros is not a terrible film; in fact much of it is entertaining. But it is obviously the effort of two talented men far from their peak powers.

Michael Curtiz may be the most hotly disputed director of Hollywood's golden age; his filmography includes such classics as Casablanca, Mildred Pierce, Yankee Doodle Dandy, and The Adventures of Robin Hood, but also a numbing succession of undistinguished contract pictures.
