Review of Butch and Sundance: The Early Days (1979) by Nicholas W — 28 Mar 2011
Made 10 years after the classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, this attempts to fill in the history that preceded the events in that movie. It also attempts to capture the hunour and quirkiness of the original. It fails.
This movie is fairly boring and lame. It has its moments, but does not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the original.
In addition, Tom Berenger and William Katt are certainly not in the same league as Paul Newman and Robert Redford. In fact, both actors were relatively unknown when cast in the lead roles. The charm, sensitivity and interesting characters of the original are missing.
Don't be fooled, this is not a patch on the original.
