Movie Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes®
Large cast is uniformly fine with tongue-twisting, pulpy dialogue, though pic presents only brief flashes of what look to be fully realized characterizations jettisoned at some point during production or post.
Full Review|Oct 18, 2008
Plays as if the script pages had been tossed in the air and randomly assembled.
Full Review|Dec 3, 2001A soggy oater that gives the genre a bad rep, the Dimension Films dud combines anesthetized writing, uncertain direction and an out-of-its-depth cast of unmistakably urban cowboys for brain-draining effect.
Dec 3, 2001Mediocre movies know no genres.
May 7, 2002Texas Rangers is a generic, gun-toting fable -- a dull, laughable cactus costume drama that has no significant appeal to it other than to boast the empty machismo antics of its leads.
Full Review|Mar 4, 2002It won't win any prizes, but for fans of old-time Westerns, it may be a pleasant-enough diversion.
Full Review|Dec 5, 2001This old-fashioned Western about the glory years of the Texas Rangers, cast with fresh-faced, telegenic young actors whose performances range from adequate to awful, is undermined by a serious lack of true grit.
Full Review|Dec 3, 2001Rangers aspires to be a classic Western but falls short, despite large doses of bravado and machismo, thunderous shoot 'em ups and stirring symphonic fanfare.

Dec 8, 2001A documentary on baseball's Texas Rangers and their last-place season would have been more interesting.
Full Review|Mar 7, 2007That McDermott is second-billed behind prissy Dawson's Creek pretty boy James Van Der Beek tells you a little about how long this thing has been in the editing booth.
Dec 3, 2001Although it's not the worst western ever made (The Terror of Tiny Town will forever hold that title), it is one of the most mediocre, falling prey to more cliches than you can shake a six-gun at.
Full Review|Dec 3, 2001Just another bad Hollywood western farce with a cast of young Hollywood stars and a go nowhere script.
Full Review|Apr 29, 2009A bit of a mess, but it's not unenjoyable and it boasts a kind of absurd sincerity that's actually rather appealing.
Full Review|Sep 4, 2004If you like most Western films, you'll probably enjoy Texas Rangers -- it's slightly above average in the genre -- but if you aren't a fan of Westerns, this one certainly won't sway your opinion.
Full Review|Apr 27, 2002Hackneyed retread of ancient Western shtick.
Dec 6, 2001It is easy to see why it took Texas Rangers so long to reach multiplexes. More perplexing is how it got there at all.
Full Review|Dec 1, 2001...plays like it was led to slaughter in the editing room after being taken away from a director who'd read "Westerns for Dummies.

Apr 13, 2005Wish it had a few other things, you know, like an adult sensibility, a closer allegiance to the truth, and maybe a little concern for how the English of 1875 was spoken.
Dec 5, 2001The expensive but soporific Texas Rangers is no Unforgiven, to put it mildly -- in fact, it's more like unforgivable.
Dec 2, 2001The storyline is awfully thin...and even at a running time of around 81 minutes (without credits), the movie does tend to drag in certain sections.
Full Review|Aug 1, 2003The best thing about this half-cocked shoot-em-up is the beautiful, rugged scenery -- and, of course, by that we mean the cast.
Full Review|Dec 8, 2001Notable mainly for the amount of ammo it expends while rarely if ever hitting the target.
Full Review|Dec 6, 2001Texas Rangers is yet another such mediocre cinematic exercise: bullet- and cliche-ridden, shallow in characterization, and unrelentingly dull in its storytelling.
Dec 3, 2001As far as horse operas go, it's a broken-down old nag infested with fleas and well past the point of being saddle- worthy.
