I'm surprisingly disappointed to see the rating of 7 after finished of seeing this movie. I think this deserves more than 7 after people managed to give 7 stars for a film like Amazing spider man 1. I must admit the fact that lead characters performances are the wholesome factor of this movie. Mel Gibson looked charming and screen captivating as usual and Jodie Foster is remarkable combination to make the film more attractive.wittiness and story narrating is quite well sure one of the easy going story will be soothing you any time of you watch. highly recommend to watch and enjoy the movie even you not familiar with Poker playing stuffs.go for this weekend along with this movie.

In this fun entertaining film, u laugh a lot, and I didn't expect to before watching it, boy was I pleasantly surprised!! This film just does everything right, whenever I watch it I always feel great while watching. The Wild West is a very fun place in this flick based off an old TV show. Jodie foster was probably my favorite character. But let's not discount Mel and James, they were fantastic together! Laughed and had a heck of a lot of fun with this movie. If your looking for a serious john Wayne style western, then this isn't for you, try True Grit if that's what your a fan of. So round up the family and get ready for a really fun night with this comedic western flick!!

first things first - i am a big fan of mel Gibson and jodie foster, westerns and comedy. hence, its no surprise that i rather enjoyed the slickly made maverick. mel Gibson and jodie foster are simply brilliant and great fun to watch. the plot is pathetic and an excuse for a series of fun-filled capers and smart lines.the movie is filled with witticisms that are really cool, my favorite being danny glovers cameo and his line "im getting too old for this s**t". :) jodie foster looks absolutely adorable, mel Gibson is his usual dashing self. the downsides are the way too many plot twists towards the end, throwing one off the track and frankly they were rather unnecessary, quite annoying indeed.but in all its a fun movie for a relaxed evening, nothing great - just a lil bit of fun.a fun-filled 7!

Let me say at the outset that Maverick is a hugely enjoyable humorous western. Coming right in the thick of Hollywood mining TV nostalgia in order to put big screen adaptations of popular TV series from yesteryear on screen, it is both a decent homage to its progenitor as well as being a very entertaining movie in its own right. It has a good, unpredictable story, an excellent cast who all perform well (especially the supporting characters), Mel Gibson makes an attractive Bret Maverick, and it is pleasing to see James Garner, TV's Bret Maverick, as Marshal Zane Cooper - such films like to place members of the original cast as a nod of approval, a way of linking the old to the new.And then the makers of this film play a trick on the audience (by which I mean those members who recall the original and are watching this film for the first time). I can't say anything about it other than that it involves confounding expectations, but it is a sheer delight when it dawns on the audience how thoroughly they have been had.I'm not a major Mel Gibson fan, but I do like this movie a lot.
