Review of Easy Rider (1969) by Steven1981 — 24 Mar 2020

I've read many poor reviews about this film and it being unwatchable and boring and glorifying hippes and other stuff... Here's my review on EASY RIDER and some bad things and good things about the film.

.. Easy Rider was made 1969 and is a drama, adventure and I think it's a road movie but could be wrong!!!! Anyway it's directed by Dennis Hopper and it even stars Dennis Hopper alongside Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson and Karen Black and was made in 1969 and the oldness shows like a sore thumb in this movie because it looks outdated.

I thought this movie was about some American dream or something but I could be wrong and if there is any story to Easy Rider it sure is a good movie of making it feel like there is no story whatsoever so this film is very strange.

The acting is actually very good and especially from Jack Nicholson who plays George Hanson and also Peter Fonda... This film has scenes of Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda riding their big motorcycles or motorbikes on the road and giving people lifts and smoking marijuana and numerous other scenes including Jack Nicholson's character being battered to death while sleeping one night in a sleeping bag which was possibly done with baseball bats or some other weapons.

Easy Rider doesn't really have any weakness as far as I'm concerned besides the story and some parts raise questions but besides that the acting is great, the characters are okay and it's never really boring if you've intelligence to follow the movie because it's not overly long so people who say it's boring obviously have a boring life.

It's one of the greatest films of it's time and is still watchable in the year 2000 because I still watch it and anybody saying it's unwatchable obviously isn't patient enough to view the full film but it's certainly watchable at and a very good film.

The ending of Easy Rider is sad with one bike or motorcycle blown up in flames and both bikers (Hopper and Fonda) shot apparently by a passing vehicle and one of it's passengers. Even though a sad ending it's a great scene and a great movie with great acting and that's my review.

... Easy Rider contains nudity or sex scenes, some violence and drug use.
