    Plot is a bit weak but love this movie set in the wild west. I love the chemistry between Mel and Jodie's character.

    This movie was hilarious. Gibson was at his finest, and the cameo by his Lethal Weapon co-star Danny Glover was truly funny.

    Isn't this the movie with Jackie Chan and it takes place on a train and...no, I must be thinking of something else. But this is a good show.

    I was skeptical about anyone stepping into Gardner's shoes in this role but it turned out quite well.

    An immensely entertaining film. Once again, I would just like to point out that I LOVE period films. Anyway, for me, this another movie that despite it's obviously shallow premise (A movie completely about gambling? Please...), still manages to ultimately win the audience over with such great story structure and progression. On a personal note, I would've never thought that Jodie Foster could play "roles" such as the one she portrayed in this movie. But, kudos to her for doing such a good job. Too bad I never saw her take on roles like this again.

    Maverick is a comical classic card playing lucky gunslinger and Jody Foster looks great in clothes of this period

    I'm quite fond of this movie. I'm not sure if it's the cast chemistry, the fun script or the somewhat subtle wit, but somehow it just really appeals to me.

    A cute movie with Mel Gibson in a role he was born to play: a smart, funny, quick-talking card genius. Jodie Foster was pretty good, too. My favorite scene is when Maverick is telling his (perfectly civilized and English-speaking) Native American friends what to do in order to scare the white man. Classic!

    Usually childhood movies aren't as good when your an adult. Maverick is an exception. I thought Mel Gibson was hilarious.

    i realized that every time i watch it, it gets better and better. and, although it happens with all my favorite movies, with this one l.l the thing's getting serious: i'm actually getting to memorize the dialogues... O_O

    This movie was well made and funny the chemistry between Mel and Jodie is so great which leads to some real great comedy ! James Garner who playe d Maverick in the tv show was great as a sheriff many twist s and turns but great combo of action and comedy!

    Fun movie! The card playing scenes are WAY over the top, but the cast is so darn likable, and the ending leaves you with a smile.

    Ever since seeing this comical Western, I've refered to pulling the right card as "pulling a Maverick." One of the only Westerns I've seen next to segments of Lonesome Dove, so I don't have much to compare to.

    A fun, campy adaptation of a fun, campy TV show. One of my favorites as a kid, and I think it still holds up really well. I even liked Jodie Foster, for once.

    Not as bad as some might say, but it certainly isn't great either. TV shows made into movies seldom, if ever, work.

    I don't know what it is about films in this vein that can still entertain, but here it is. A good movie.
