'The Horse Soldiers' is full of marvelous frames, of a subtle lyricism, not as evident as other times, of great hard moments of life, after all. [Full Review in Spanish]

An attractive musical score is a further asset.

Ford makes no explicitly anti-war points, yet his battle scenes-particularly the futile, heroic charges-don't come across as exciting, simply as absurd, wasteful, pathetic, and in all senses, bloody.

Lively Western full of events and imagery.
April 1, 2013 | Full Review… -
Though flawed, John Ford's The Horse Soldiers has a fair amount going for it: the well-oiled partnership of Ford and star John Wayne (and an assist from William Holden); Ford's vivid visual style; and large-scale action. [Blu-ray]
July 19, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… -
It's a lesser Ford, rife with his backwards attempts at humor, but even a lesser Ford is still a film by one of the cinema's greatest poets. It's still very much worth a viewing.

Oct 27, 2011Not one of the essential Ford/Wayne westerns but nevertheless a strong film. Wayne and Holden are great and Ford's vivid visual style is striking.Graham J Super Reviewer

Dec 30, 2010Another fantastic Wayne/Ford classic. The Searchers seems to have a lot in common with this film as far as themes and actors, so it tends to remind me of it a lot at times.Tim S Super Reviewer

Apr 27, 2009Sometimes looks can be deceiving. With John Wayne, William Holden and John Ford all working on the same movie I think that my expectations were really high, so I came out of this a little disappointed. I was just expecting so much from these guys.Keith M Super Reviewer
-
Dec 16, 2007This John Ford's frontier actioner packed with laughter, romance and thrills. Based on a true incident during the Civil War, this is a minor, but enjoyable. John Wayne and William Holden play well-matched adversaries.Dean M Super Reviewer
