Un pasaje brillante con los indios, algunos chistes geniales y Danny Glover intercambiando miradas con Mel Gibson y su frase «I’m too old for this shit!», me estaba matando. Sin embargo, esto no supera el hecho de que Maverick es un espectáculo demasiado complicado, que no funciona en muchas escenas, que es muy predecible y que Annabelle es sin duda el mayor y más malo personaje en la carrera de la por lo demás encantadora y elegante Jodie Foster.

A hugely entertaining and smart Wild West comedy with a surprising ending. Small-time grifter Gibson is a likeable guy, the Indians are very easy-going and phlegmatic and Jodie Foster has never looked better. The production design led by the period steamboat is flawless. And that little cameo by Danny Glover, a subtle wink to the Lethal Weapon series, is just charming. I’ll always love this movie.

When I compare Mel Gibson of the present day with the past Mel Gibson, for example in 1994, I’m shocked at the amount of confidence that he was able to put into his acting. Maverick is the shining example. Mel does whatever he wants, even to Jodie Foster, the poker players, and especially to the viewers. He’s frowning at times and then he’s laughing unexpectedly. And the viewers are frowning or laughing along with him. Sometimes, he stops breathing from all that suspense and the viewers do the same. He can simply put so much emotion into his performance. It’s not the same nowadays, but I get him. However, I hope that he gets back into it one day. I really want that for him. He’s an amazing actor. I mean, every single movie he’s appeared in is great. All his characters are memorable in some field or another. Like Maverick is when it comes to poker. He put on such a brutal poker face that he could win the first spot in the international emotionless expression contest. Great. I enjoyed it. It reminded me of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill a bit… just the American way.

An excellent comedy with the great Mel Gibson in the lead role. Donner layers one humorous scene on top of another without losing control of the story. You even find yourself laughing when Maverick is hanging from a cliff or when he has a noose around his neck. Simply great fun. Certainly the best comedy about the Wild West. P.S. Jodie Foster is irresistible here.

The only film where the action-comedy pace of Richard Donner didn't work for me at all. There’s actually very little action and it's not really a groundbreaking story, and there isn't exactly a huge amount of humor either. The only truly brilliant scene is the reference to Lethal Weapon in the middle of the bank robbery. Jodie Foster is quite unremarkable and the only thing worth mentioning is the likeable Mel Gibson. The middle segment with the Indians is quite boring and the final scenes of who is playing who for the tenth time are quite embarrassing. I don't understand why there is so much praise, I really didn't find anything monumental. Donner has made many better things, more entertaining, more action-packed, and better put together.
