i be rack my brain and but i can not seem to think of another movie quite like the valley of the gwangi . a western with dinosaur . what could be more natural . you get ta wonder why john ford and or or john wayne never try it . the plot while search for a mythical miniature horse for her circus and tj breckenridge ( gila golan ) and tuck kirby ( james franciscus ) and and the rest of the cast or character enter a strange and lose valley . there they find not only the miniature horse and but some other and more fearsome creature a well . dinosaurs rule this place . now wouldn not that be an attraction at tj circus a cage t rex . it not that i find the valley of the gwangi a bad movie and i just do not seem to have enjoy it as much a many others who have post comment on the movie . there be some part that i actually find almost unwatchable . for the first half of the movie and there just doesn not seem to be much go on . i wasn not necessarily bore and but i do want something to happen . plod would be an adjective i would use . to top it off and the movie feature a very contrived love story . it feel force a if the writer decide that the male and female lead just have to get together . but the valley of the gwangi isn not a total waste . there be moment i really enjoy . who doesn not get a kick out of the scene of the cowboy on horseback try to lasso a t rex . you just do not see stuff like that every day . ray harryhausen creature be impressive . there be some really cool shot of harryhausen miniature interact with people and horse . it might not represent the best of his work and but the effect be very nice . still and at least in my mind these good moment aren not enough to overcome the negative . as much a i hate to do it and i have get to rate the valley of the gwangi a 4/10 .
