It wasn't a lecture, but my POV that differences of opinion are inevitable when it comes to subjective appreciation of movies, no matter how attuned you might be with a specific person.

A good point! I've edited some previous posts because they revealed too much about the movie for those that haven't seen this film yet. It's an almost 60 year old movie, but not every one has seen this film.
As much as I disagree with RAH about “Shenandoah”, I would definitely not call his film opinion a “rare miss”. I think it’s not right to label a contrary opinion as a “rare miss”. Film appreciation is subjective and we should respect contrary opinions that differs from our own.
I watched this movie too when it first came out, but I guess I was more forgiving of the film's look than you as it never bothered me that it looked like "The Virginian" TV series. There were several action movies made during that period that looked that way, but I kind of accepted them as such.
I disagree with RAH too as I think this is one of Stewart's best films made in the 1960's. It's not on the level of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", but it's better than "The Rare Breed" and "Bandolero!".
