-Your miserable life is not worth the reversal of a Custer decision.

A childhood favorite, this was a big disappointment on re-watch.  I still laughed at Richard Mulligan's pompous, half-mad, General Custer, but the rest of the humor hasn't worn well.  The 48 year-old revisionist humor is now old hat.  Things that were fresh and funny, like: cowardly gun-fighters, Jewish Indians,  Gay Indian warriors, and hypocritical bible-thumpers - are now tired cliches.  Other things that annoyed:

• Mostly a comedy, we get massacres and deaths in-between the jokes. Its like watching "Seinfeld" with murders before every commercial break. 
• Its too long (2.5 hours) and rambling. We get lots of padding and dead-space. 
• It looks cheap. The costumes, sets, lighting, and stunts reminded me of the TV Show "Bonanza". Epic it ain't. For example,  Custer's last stand is 50 guys on horseback - and they play both the Indians and 7th Cavalry. Penn shows the horsemen in long-shot to disguise this.
• Dustin Hoffman is a very good actor, but he's not very funny. Nor is he very "Western" unless you mean "West Hollywood". 
• The Anti-white viewpoint is blatant and unhistorical.  The amount of hate against Custer and the 7th Calvary is incredible. Pauline Kael slammed the Director for putting Anti-Vietnam war propaganda in a Comedy. 

 On the plus side, Mulligan and Chief Dan George are still hilarious.
