8.5/10
This is probably the most epic entrance in film history. Wayne certainly has a sort of untouchable magnetism about him in this movie, and he's always a joy to watch. In fact, everyone is - the casting is a major strength, not to mention Ford's incredible direction. Everything still looks sumptuous and thrilling, even in black and white. The climactic shootout between the stagecoach and the Apaches was intense, with a couple of really impressive stunts thrown in too. There wasn't much not to like about this one.
