Rewatched this after a loooong time, and found myself appreciating it more than I remembered; I felt more immersed in the atmosphere of it all this time. A conventional narrative is eschewed in favour of a series of encounters that affect the characters in ways that are often more hinted at than made explicit. It looks great, and the fine soundtrack is a bonus. It all gets a bit downbeat, but this is an interesting cinematic look at a time, place and people of America.

Boring as hell. Just really really uninteresting and the characters are impossible to like. You think you represent freedom cause you have a motorcycle, smoke pot and don't have a job? Give me a break. Nicholson gives this some life but it's not enough to save it. The editing is also some of the worst I've seen. I realize this is a landmark in film history but I don't give a shit, it's boring!

"They're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em." Anyone who calls this movie "dated" is wrong by virtue of that line being in the film. The whole "this used to be a helluva good country" monologue slays me. And they don't represent freedom (even though they so they do) as much as they test the limits of it (in the "land of the free", no less.) Tragic. The experimental editing is awful.

Off the start, Easy Rider is bland, and plotless. When Jack Nicholson gets involved, the movie took a turn for the better. I really enjoyed the last half. It was well done, and even surreal more towards the end. This film gets a grip on you, and even if you don't like it, you can't help but watch. A very interesting film to watch.

So much a product of its time that it sometimes actually feels more like a retro 60s throwback from the 80s. It surprised me how bleak the movie was. Jack Nicholson pretty much spells out the theme of the movie in one scene: "They're gonna talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em." The movie is rather blunt in how it gets that message across, but it's effective enough. I like.

A great motion picture that truly is a time capsule for the 60's/70's. Extremely influential and Hopper's excessive filmmaking style actually works here, providing a counterculture perspective that is a huge asset. Highlit by a great performance by Nicholson.

Instantly iconic biker film has now dated into a so-so cultural relic and on this basis it's an interesting milestone, though when compared to Peckinpah for instance (ALFREDO GARCIA doesn't exist without this movie) it's clear that while Hopper is a passionate filmmaker, he has all the focus of a ranting alky on a street corner. Performances are adequate, save for Nicholson whose historic burst of energy in the mid-section elevates the pretentious dialogue he is handed. Terrific soundtrack.

Nostalgia for the old frontier turns to resentment for bygone attitudes, as middle America can't help but produce conservative fashion nazis. Nicholson's speech about individual freedom is a lone nugget of gold that leaves a lasting impression.

The first half drags a bit, although, retrospectively it becomes more interesting, and the editing is brutal. However, taken simply as a counterculture road movie, attacking USA's inability to retain the values the country was supposedly built on, it's a very powerful film. The writing is solid, as are the two leads, and Nicholson livens it up with a show-stealing performance. The photography is great, too, and the psych-rock soundtrack is a perfect companion to the films themes.

A historical landmark - one of the movies that kicked off "New Hollywood" by proving to major distributors that giving more independence to young talent from outside of the studio system can be profitable - but it's also a good movie, better than some of the other harbingers. It's a road movie in which the landscapes that the biker protagonists speed by are of as much importance as the dialogue scenes in the different stops they make. It intakes and holds 60's America in the lungs...

This is a difficult film to rate. Taken without context, this is more of a rough sketch of a film. Fonda is flat, and while Hopper's excitable presence is somewhat fun, Nicholson is the most interesting thing about this film. However, with context, Easy Rider is an important piece of American film history, and something everyone should watch at least once.

I slapped a rating on this movie but numbers are really useless for a film like "Easy Rider". It's a film that set out to slap filmmaking conventions in the face and shun conformity and it does so marvelously. "Easy Rider" certainly shows its age, but in a way an old beat up motorcycle does. It may look old and outdated but every single knick and dent tells a story. The film stands today as a relic of the counterculture of its generation. It is still unconventional. Dennis Hopper would be proud.

More of a great cultural artifact than a great film, Easy Rider is very much a product of its time. It obviously has some great moments and scenes, and the use of music was groundbreaking. Kovacs' gritty quasi-documentary like photography is appealingly naturalistic, but there is a stunning philosophical naivety to this film which dates it. The performances are generally sound, but when Nicholson is on screen he blows away Fonda and Hopper. Shame he wasn't in it more.

The wandering nature of it is captivating at first, but the content can't keep up with the style and it becomes boring. It picks up again with Nicholson's introduction, but New Orleans is boring again and the tripping scene and ending are particularly bad. Passively films what happened rather than actively engaging its themes, leaving them to a single (albeit good) monologue. Revolutionary in its time, but now just an odd mix of disparate scenes.

An inspiring film with three fantastic performances, beautiful cinematography, and a pitch perfect soundtrack. The extended acid trip seemed a bit too drawn out, but that's ok. The ending, probably too over the top for some, really brings home the message of the film. The movie makes me want to jump in my car, put the top down, and drive across the country blaring Steppenwolf albums. It also really makes me hate ignorant small-town mentality.

Easy Rider, you know, led the young director's march towards the studios. It's the most important american movie of its decade and a prelude to the great 1970s. A relic, but a masterpiece with some flaws, that you easily forget when that avant-garde, Bergman's Persona-like, psychedelic finale hits you like any song from the late 1960s, from Jimi Hendrix to The Velvet Underground.

A memorable look into the viscous cycle of freedom, where it seems death catches up no matter how free we are. It's also anti-establishment, 60s and 70s counter-culture at it's best, but it goes a little further because it's bleak and morbid. It succeeds by digging deep into the reactions of how people see freedom, and what they do when it makes them feel threatened, and the extraordinary lengths that they will go to preserve what makes them feel comfortable.

Far from being outdated, "Easy Rider" is a captivating film about friendship and a bygone America. Nicholson is perfectly cast, providing the film with a much needed sense of humanity and maturity. The social commentary is not heavy handed but presented in a rather condensed and in the end satisfying form. In search of America, although America is never found. I liked it.

The combination of cinematography, music and direction in the first 15 minutes is one of the finest sequences in all cinema. Getting on, the plot feels a little directionless at times, and the pacing falters, but after the dramatic ending everything before makes sense. The film is highly memorable not just for its iconic characters and events, but also as a fantastic homage to America's natural resources, people, culture and attitudes. A fine snapshot of a time and place.

A pop culture icon, certainly a product of its time, but not irreparably dated. At its best in montage, when indulging in landscapes and candid locale footage set to an enjoyable soundtrack. The road trip interludes, the Mardi Gras acid trip; sequences like these are the film's spirit, and confirm its status as a harbinger of new cinema.

A lot to like, at least if you're interested in the subject matter. I did expect watching this to be a bit like reading On The Road, with people looking for happiness outside of the mainstream while never realizing just what it is they want. Where On The Road has pages and pages of rambling contemplation, Easy Rider has evocative vibes and visuals with a few gems of dialogue. I did not expect some particularly dark turns or the downer ending.

Rated on December 21st, 2009: Best road movie with pot-smoking acid-dropping hippie-bikers. Freedom in cinematic form. Rewatch: While I appreciate the historic importance of this film both as a spark for New Hollywood film and as a counter-culture icon, it doesn't strike the same chord with me it probably did when I saw it almost nine years ago. I mean it's not really THAT interesting. It has some memorable scenes, but sometimes it borders being campy. Still: a must see.

I read afterwards that Fonda and Hopper were drunk and high most of the time when filming this (writing it as they went) and you can tell, for better or for worse: In its camerawork and writing, it certainly carries with it a refreshing air of authenticity and spontaneity (the campfire discussions are both provoking-"They see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em"-and unexpected: "We blew it"), but it also often comes off as just plain lazy and pretentious (see the requisite drug trip scene).

Easy Rider is a cult classic and a cemented piece of American motion picture history. Without much sense of plot or meaning, this is an unconventional piece of filmmaking that is shot, paced and edited unexplainably. But I could happily sit for hours and watch Peter Fonda & Dennis Hopper bike across America whilst admiring the landscapes and soundtrack. The grainy Mardi Gras and acid trip scenes are visually interesting too. And it's clear to see that Jack Nicholson was destined for stardom.

Classic drug fuelled road movie. Some bits work really well, many others really don't and the whole thing comes off a bit weightless or superficial in a modern context. Obviously very interesting as a countercultural relic from late 60s America. Under the lively surface, it has a quite sad and desperate vibe to it that somehow makes everything work, although I have to say in a very disjointed fashion. Iconic and memorable but didn't really work as well as it might have done in the 60s.

Sometimes to describe a movie as meandering is an insult, but in the case of Easy Rider, I think it works as a plus. The shots of the open road with just two motorcyclists on their way were gorgeous, especially with music from The Band among others in the background. I thought Dennis Hopper's direction in this was pretty good as well, although I'm still lost on that montage toward the end. Finally, Peter Fonda (Wyatt) gives a great performance as well as Jack Nicholson (George Hanson).

It's an old story--the best lack all conviction, yadda yadda--but also smacks of the blame game, the mild-mannered "best" excusing their role in the failure of counterculture by pointing a finger at the gung-ho "worst".

You might not guess this from the film, but there was a script. The film earned $17 million on its first run, and maybe $40 million in total. As such, it launched the careers of those attached to it. And it undoubtedly encouraged the system to think of offering opportunities to young directos, actors, and writers. It established Nicholson as the new master in a rare American tradition, heroic yet comic. And it is unwatchable - unless you are benefiting from the illegal substances it advocates.

It's not hard to understand the large cult following and how refreshing a movie like this must've been in the late 60s, but somehow I was expecting a bit more; the story itself didn't exactly blow me away and some situations are resolved in a pretty contrived way just so that the writers can prove their point, but the movie does have a few great moments.

A marker of its era, an antique with jargon that dates it as effectively as a certain style of gilded woodwork might place a dresser within a specific span of years. It doesn't help that the story itself is fairly slight, just two guys trekking across the country on their motorcycles, content in their counterculture self-assurance. The real thrill is seeing Jack Nicholson in his first Oscar-nominated performance. He's so alive with whipsmart unpredictability that it adds a jolt of urgency.

The beginning is painfully slow, and just when the boredom is about to get lethal, Nicholson shows up in his star-turning role and makes it hilarious and fun. And then he's gone. And then they trip acid. And what. But that section with Jack is so good.

This movie is more about mood than the story for me. I really loved the parts with the scenery changing in the background and the classic songs, and the small town feels. Otherwise my favorite parts had Jack Nicholson in them, because his character was great and just way too funny. As a movie, it's got more artistic merit than anything. And the atmosphere, for sure. I can see why it was so popular in its time.

Grown up men devoid of any responsibility to their community, families or even to themselves, going on a meaningless trip of narcissistic self-indulgence, a trip of self-proclaimed "self-discovery" but really nothing more than the fancy of a generation of spoiled kids raised in affluence. It's a generational thing, I guess. From a 2022 Eastern-European perspective I don't get it. The 60s is a profoundly decadent era in American history. Nicholson is the best part of the film.

I think I read they spent most of the budget on licensing the music? So yeah, this is basically a long ass music video. Great cinematography, the locations are stunningly beautiful. Jack Nicholson is a highlight. Good film, I just wish there was more substance here. But I guess the free-flowing spirit is like, the theme, mannnnn.

More interesting as a historical snapshot (both in American history and film history) than a piece of entertainment. Is it just me or does Peter Fonda actually look a lot like Jack Nicholson? Almost confused the two for a second at the beginning.

Nice landscapes at the first half of the film. Awesome playlist too. One clever quote about freedom. Not so good history, I had better adventures backpacking without traffiquing drugs, maybe was disruptive in 1969, not so much today.

I must assume this was original and boundary pushing when it came out, because this was a major drag watching in 2019. The acting outside of Jack Nicholson is just really weak, the filmmaking is lackluster and the story amounts to nothing. The incessant long shots of 'Merican roads with admittedly cool songs mixed with the stupidly terse dialogue makes it feel like a parody. The ending is lazy and contrived. An important movie that ends up being more important than interesting.

George Hanson: "But talkin' about it and bein' it, that's two different thangs. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em."

If you take out the incredible soundtrack and the beautiful scenic vistas of the southern part of the USA, there's not much left here. Almost ironic that now, years later, the long hair and the drug use (and even the wanting looks Hopper keeps giving Fonda) get just shrugs after being illegal and unethical in its time.

I'm not really sure if I hate those ultra dumb killing scenes or actually like them for bringing something memorable into this drag of a movie. Even psychedelic freakout is not very amusing here and usually I'm all over such scenes.

I don't really respond to symbolism, even if it is as blatantly obvious as it is in Easy Rider. I do, however, respond to honest expression, even if done with ruthless editing. This film has not aged well in the best way, a fundamental symbol of east coast America in 1969. It is strangely paced, reaffirms Jack Nicholson's destined stardom, and is a lesson in how to handle death in film.
