Didn't know too much about it going in except that it had big-name actors and was a fairly popular film. I was pleasantly surprised that this film was pretty good. The story of revenging a father-like figure's death was obviously easy... Full review

Uggh. When a western starts out with a cheesy heavy metal song, you know exactly what kind of movie it's going to be. Billy the Kid was supposedly one mean person. But in this movie, he's portrayed as a mindless psycho.... Full review

I've watched several versions of the Billy the Kid story, this one isn't quite as good as the Paul Newman version many years ago or the Gore Vidal/Val Kilmer version, but it is okay. This movie has a talented young cast... Full review

The cast is very good
Clichs abound, but if you ignore them, the inaccuracies, and some occasionally clunky dialogue, as I said, "The Young Riders" is still entertaining.

The cast is great and the gunfights are done very well.
Yet, when compared to some of the other "hip" westerns that preceded it (think American Outlaws and Texas Rangers ), it still holds up as an entertaining western mostly due to its great cast and story.
