Review: I always enjoyed the movie Jeremiah Johnson for its pure simplicity and the depth Robert Redford gave to the main character.  However, on further study, I have found that several of the characters portrayed in the movie were actual people and ...

Pros: Escapism at its best

Cons: Too violent for young viewers

Review: Do balding, overweight, middle-aged desk jockeys dream of chunking it all, moving to the mountains and hiding away from society for the rest of their days? Yes, they do, and so Robert Redford, in concert with Sidney Pollack in 1972, provided a vehicle...

Pros: Robert Redford is at his best.

Cons: Redford isn't married to me.

The Bottom Line: Watch this film, it will move you and wish you could go back in time.

Review: As a woman, this movie, which came out the year I was graduating high school (1973) isn't considered a "Chick Flick" even if Robert Redford is the star. Still, women who, like many men, dream of the wild west and when things were simpler will love this ...

Pros: Great acting, cinematography, history lesson

Cons: 0

Review: Jeremiah Johnson was released in 1972 and was one of the best westerns I have ever seen. Not only was it a good story, with good acting, the cinematography was breathtaking.

Jeremiah before becoming a legend, is a drifter, a loner, running...

Pros: Excellent Scenery, Solid Acting, and Great Story. Not Just for "Western" fans... this really ISN'T a Western; it's More of a Period Piece!

Cons: None

Review: I've seen this movie several times in my life, the first time on the big screen with my Father when I was 12 or 13. While I liked the movie then, I've grown to love it; it's become a personal favorite of my wife & I.

Robert Redford plays...

Pros: Cinematography

Cons: May be a little slow for some

Review: I've seen "Jeremiah Johnson" perhaps a dozen times. If you believe in reincarnation, you'll understand why. Despite, cold, hunger and the ever present possibility of death, the appeal of the life of the fur trappers of the early 1800's has...

Pros: variety of struggles Jeremiah Johnson faces

Cons: too violent for younger children.

Review: I don't think of Jeremiah Johnson as a western, but as a survivor movie. Johnson confronts Indians, the elements and discrimination with endurance and intelligence.I like seeing Robert Redford in this part. In most of Redford's roles, his...

Pros: beautiful, awe-inspiring, powerful

Cons: violent, tragic, doesn't move at modern explosion-every-3-seconds pace (actually its best "pro")

Review: This is the best film Robert Redford ever made, and one of the best films I've ever seen about the frontier life.

The film grows on one over time. It is one of the very, very few films that seems to get better with repeated viewings. It is...

Pros: beauty, a return to simpler times

Cons: not much dialogue

Review: I bought this movie on DVD after seeing the other positive epinions about it. I thought that the scenery was great, the acting was okay (there wasn't enough dialogue to necessitate much acting), but it was the realism that impressed me the most....

Pros: scenery

Cons: length

Review: This movie first caught my attention when I was very young. It lured me deep into it's folds; with it's beauty,adventure, and deep emotional struggles.
The scenery is breath taking drawing one into it with smells, sounds, and feelings...
