A very fun, fast paced, good time. I love the chemistry between Newman and Redford and the writing is top notch, Goldman could really write a script. Didn't care too much for the music choices (raindrops keep fallin on my head? wtf?) but I thought the montages were a clever way to move the characters forward in a short amount of time. Deserves its place on all the best westerns and best movie lists, awesome film.

I loved everything about this film, except for the montages. I thought they went on just a little bit too long. Aside from that this movie is great. Redford and Newman are both fantastic as the likable, hilarious outlaws. One of the best westerns for sure.

Don’t remember why I loved this 25 years ago, I only know I found this second watch very slowly paced, repetitive, & ultimately sort of meaningless with glaring plot holes (how did the 2 leads get back to Etta on foot? How exactly do yanqui banditos like these 3 hide from the South American authorities?). I do remember reading that the posse chasing them symbolized modernity & perhaps this is all an allegory for the death of the Western, but maybe I need to be older to appreciate the loss.

Not the standard western I was expecting. There is great chemistry between the leads, and the smart script is excellent. I now know where LaFors in Mallrats comes from, as well as about a thousand other references. Nicely shot and paced, with great use of location.

Starts off great, but as the film went on I starting losing interest in everything except for the dialogue exchanged between Newman and Redford. That one aspect made it all worth it, but I still wish the rest of the film was more interesting. And I thought that the music was downright awful at times.

The chemisty between Redford and Newman is second to none. While for the most part it is a light-hearted Western it does have some serious moments. Basically the perfect mix between comedy and tragedy in the Old West.

Pointless and plodding. A boring western made seemingly so Newman could mug at the camera for 90 minutes. Newman and Redford fans might like this, but I can't see how any western fans would. The Sting is a million times better than this and features the same two lead actors.

*spoiler* The script (comedy) strikes me as at cross-purposes with the story (tragedy), and I realize that might be the point. The problem I have is that while there are great exchanges of dialogue, classic scenes, and a strong sense of place, the film ultimately isn't honest about its two "adventurers." The tragedy here is not their deaths, but rather that they carry their smart-ass, wise-cracking ways to the grave. Fun, but confused.

I don't know why I don't like this more than I do... maybe because it's a smirky, self-amused western from a time when Peckinpah was already making the harsh, reflective revisionist westerns that eschewed entertainment in favor of thoughtful realism... or maybe it's because George Roy Hill would later use Redford and Newman again for The Sting which is so much better than this (as usual, it's the writing that makes the difference).

Too hip for its own good, and rather clumsily directed, but Newman, Redford and Ross are charming, and Goldman's screenplay has many good lines. It loses points for the "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head" sequence--one of the most cloying bits ever in any movie, let alone a movie as self-consciously "hip" as this one.

I don't understand why this film is famous. Drags horribly from start to finish, with multiple overlong and pointless montages and sequences of sheer randomness. At no point could I find a reason to care what happens to the main characters, who rob poor people and maim or kill working stiffs. Gave it a few points for some decent wilderness shots but that's the only positive thing I could find to say about this film.

Newman and Redford have some of the easiest chemistry you'll ever see onscreen, immediately charming and fully believable. There's plenty of laughs and exciting moments, not to mention the stylish cinematography and iconic ending. The "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" montage is kind of laughable, but everything else is classic Western.

Hill made some odd choices, some good and some not so good, but on the whole this is a competent and quite fun western. Paul Newman and Robert Redford are both great, and the relationship between their characters is both ambiguous and heartfelt at the same time. The movie also has one of the best explosion scenes I've ever seen.

What people don't realize is that this movie is about nothing other than Butch and Sundance. It's not about America, the West, the Western, legends, love, hate, freedom, death, sex, crime or guns. It's about Newman and Redford. As such, it functions more as a forerunner to movies like Lethal Weapon and Shanghai Noon than as anything definitive or artful.

This film would no doubt have been a fun ride no matter who played the lead roles, but it's Newman and Redford who make it great and give it so much pathos. On the surface it seems undeniable that the film paints a highly romanticized picture of the Old West, so it's surprising to find that so much of what the film depicts actually happened. Extraordinary stories with extraordinary actors make for extraordinary movies.

I hate Westerns. I dozed a lot, but, is it me or did they sneak out the back of a whorehouse 6 or 10 or 20 times? A lot of boring shootouts, a lot of boring robberies, a lot of boring time spent between robberies riding a bicycle around a farmhouse to the tune of "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head". What a joke. People are saying it has a "great ending". I just finished watching it a half hour ago and don't remember the ending. Like, no recollection. At all. I was just happy to see the credits.

Paul Newman and Robert Redford are pretty good, but the movie feels a lot more like a series of vignettes than it does a coherent narrative, even though the film does have one, and I didn't really feel any compulsion to see what happened next. Fun, somewhat poignant, but overall it didn't grab me. Perhaps this can go on the reappraisal list later.

Patchy. Newman and Redford are great to start with, but the smart-aleck quips begin to wear thin after a little while. I wished they'd just stop and have a normal conversation. The plot feels thin, too, and lags heavily in the middle section. There's a perfunctory attempt at thematic depth near the end (when they attempt to guard the payroll), but to be honest I was fairly bored by then.

Gripping in the ringwraith-type pursuit to Conrad L. Hall's landscape-porn, which is furtively brushed aside with a sepia photo montage. The platonic man-love is a joy, but ending with the adjunct fantasy-slaying of a million policeman and soldiers didn't fit their lovable scamp image--as Butch and Sundance pick them off one-by-one, two-by-two. I hated them by the end.

Not as good as later effort from Roy Hill, Redford and Newman "The Sting", but still entertaining flick. The ending broke my heart when I was a kid, but now the characters or the story didn't seem that deep to me. Entertaining, non-violent western, where criminals are heroes and you don't even start questioning their morality.

I can see why this is such a highly valued Western. It's got the character dynamics down to a T and the main characters have enough charisma and facets to remain interesting. The pacing works well (apart from the montage bits, which I was not a fan of) and there's just enough of a mixture of comedy and drama, as well. This is already the second movie this year that I've watched with Paul Newman having a bromance. Weird!

This is first and foremost a lot of fun. Perhaps the best kind of Western; one that does not take itself too seriously. Newman, Redford and Ross make a believable and likeable trio of carefree bandits. The music is superb and constantly reminds the viewer that this is no traditional Western, but at the same a film that stays true to the very tradition of the West and its portrayal in films of the past.

It's interesting that this flick came out the same year as "The Wild Bunch" and examines the same themes, but couldn't be more different. As a comedic western, this is groundbreaking in the sense that the humour is not broad and jokey, but emerges from the characters and the immense likability of the cast.

There's actually a few things I really didn't like about this movie -- the pacing seemed off with the montages and the bicycle scene, and the music never seemed to "match" the action -- and yet the wit (and perhaps twisted wisdom) of these two anti-heroes is really captivating. Hard to believe a good chunk of this story actually happened.

Perhaps the earliest of the New Hollywood films to perfect the aesthetic approach and anti-establishment worldview in an, at times, moving, beautiful, and occasionally chaotic compendium of joy. Its lack of narrative tightness is part of its charm, but could turn some people off. Weaknesses outside of that are almost made up for by Newman and Redford, who knock it out of the park because of course they do. It's tough to think of anything I actually dislike about the film.

Tense and engaging, with very good technicals. Entertaining if nihilistic depiction of characters who, once having enjoyed the spoils, purpose, and thrills of criminality, find themselves [whether for reasons psychological or sociological] helpless to escape it, and can only delay the inevitable [it makes no difference whether just or not] deserts. Make no mistake though, this is, ultimately, simply a cops-and-robbers, popcorn flick, but taken for such, you can't do much better.

It's an overall enjoyable movie, but does have its flaws. It's exciting and the chemistry between Newman and Redford really make the movie work. Otherwise there isn't a whole lot of story here to work with, basically just the two outlaws robbing trains, running away from the law, escaping the country, and robbing banks til the end. It also has some jarring tones between comedy and tragedy. It's a fun ride and a good movie, but it doesn't really take you much of anywhere.

Loses the plot once they all escape to Bolivia and the movie keeps pushing a breezy, lighthearted tone until it's disturbing. I love Bacharach's music dearly but I can't think of a worse composer for a western. Definitely not what I had in mind when I went in but I expect it'll rate higher on a rewatch, free of misplaced expectation.

Robert Redford is talented and promising actor, and Paul Newman is Hollywood biggest star at that time. It is like combining Leonardo DiCaprio with Ryan Gosling in some action movie. It also has Katharine Ross who appears in The Graduate if I'm not mistaken. This movie has a simple plot, and ridiculus ending (the ending has two versions). Still, the movie is fun and just so good as western movie.

Probably put it a tier higher than where it should be, but, similarly to The Seventh Seal or The Army of Shadows, the depressing nature of the inescapability of what others call fate and the subsequent stages of only seemingly purposeful flailing arround to eventual existential or absurdist 'fuck it all' alligns with my taste buds too strongly for such a lower score to be given.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is decently entertaining and funny (although at times I thought it tried too hard to be too clever). Redford and Newman feed off each other perfectly. The story is just ok IMO. I didn't quite like it as much as my PSI would suggest, but it is decent.

In all of the genres I've seen used to describe this on an array of different forums, not a single one has yet to describe it as I would - a straight up comedy. Newman and Redford play a couple of charmers readily equipped with an endless supply of witty one liners. I even enjoyed the stupid bicycle montage.

what a riot! i didn't know what to think going into this film, but i was so pleasantly surprised by how fun and well-written it was. goldman deserves all his accolades and more. i loved everything about this film, from the witty, hilarious dialogue to the precise characterizations to the way it turned the western genre on its head without compromising the integrity of the film. redford and newman are born stars and this film proves that without a doubt.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is without doubt one of the coolest and funnest Westerns of all time. Paul Newman & Robert Redford are simply sensational together. The chemistry and humour between them make for one of the most iconic pairings of all time. They carry the film effortlessly and they have an equal share of moments and importance. The script is fantastic, the comic timing is perfection and there's so many cool and humorously quotable one liners. There's so much fun to be had here.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is admittedly carried almost entirely by the chemistry and banter between the two leads, but what fun this combination is. The comic tone is both a strength and a weakness; for a movie about criminals it lacked some edge it could've used. It's a bit too playful.

With its iconic pairing of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, jaunty screenplay and Burt Bacharach score, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid has gone down as among the defining moments in late-'60s American cinema.

Revisionist Western, that is iconic and justly so. Great chemistry between the leads.

Possibly best buddy movie ever. Beautiful to look at. True (ish) story). I drove 2 days over appalling roads to visit the exact spot in Bolivia where we tranisition to sepia & music!. 2 True movie stars at their best. A Very 60s inflected Western A Must See!

It's a buddy gangster movie, and as far as entertainment and dialogue goes, it's a good one. It's hard to deny that it looks a bit dated by now, especially in terms of its depiction of the old (and by this movie, old in more than one way) west and the characters in it, and Bacharach's soundtrack was probably written for a much more light-hearted movie.

We all know Newman and Redford are what make this movie so watchable, there's not even a point in exploring this well-tread ground. As a western, it's pretty light-hearted, which might explain my lighter score, but the script is fun and the cinematography is the work of a master. Perhaps it's a case of Classic Conundrum: you put an appallingly famous film on hold for so long, you might be underwhelmed when you finally see it. I should've watched it years ago.

Perhaps a tad overrated and certainly not as good as The Sting, but it's a refreshingly modern western that isn't afraid to be silly.

The characters are charming and the dialogue is sharp and funny, but overall the movie felt too shallow and didn't flow very well. Might have benefited from being longer. Also didn't like the montages much, but I did enjoy the very last scene.

A western that musn't be missed! 2 AMAZING actors in this movie, Reford and Newman made me discover other great 'old' movies :). I really enjoyed the 'guns blazing' ending scene, all the (dark) comedy and the scene where they have to jump into the water and Redford says he cant swim haha. The bike scene was a little strange and I didnt always like the music.
