Why is Jeremiah Johnson only a 3-star movie?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

What is the difference between a 3-star and a 4-star movie?

1. 3 stars is average/above average, 4 stars is excellent/classic.

Is that what you mean?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

2. yes. I don't understand why

they didn't consider Jeremiah Johnson to be an excellent/classic film.

Maybe it was the way the dialog was spoken...

3. Haven't seen it myself.

But three stars is nothing to sneeze at.

4. I think there is a very fine line between a 3-star and a 4-star movie.

I had not watched it in many years. I think it held up very well from 1972. It has a timeless quality that should give it a 4-star status.

Bridge Over River Kwai came on after that but, I had to sleep.

7. Well, rent it. Beautiful scenes that's for sure.

Sad too.

5. How did it manage to get 3 stars?!

I fell asleep during the movie. Boring, except for the scenery.

8. I love that movie

It's decently factual, except the real guy was a bit bonkers -- his nickname was "Liver-Eating Johnson," because that's what he did to Indians and others he perceived as enemies.

10. There are some real characters in that film...that frozen dude,

the bald guy, and of course Will Geer (Father Walton) :D

I love the will that the the frozen dude left behind :thumbsup:
