Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 It doesn't officially hit the theaters for a few more days, however a friend of mine who is the movie reviewer for a chain of local newspapers saw it earlier this week, and he says it's a Must See. A far more accurate interpretation of the Portis book by far. Bridges better than Wayne (or that regretable thing with Warren Oates) as Cogburn, stunning cinematography ... the Coen Brothers have outdone themselves.

Marshal Max Henry Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I think Jeff Bridges is going to Rock as "Rooster C" Im taking the kidds opening night. The youngens think the old Westerns I watch are kinda Boring so im in hopes they get in to this Modern version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Colter, SASS #37292 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I saw it last night and I have to say it really is top-notch. It's destined to be one of the ten-best all-time westerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fillmore Coffins, SASS #7884 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Mae B. Knotte and I saw it opening day. She was not impressed. We came home and watched the original...Matt Damon was better than Glen Campbell, but not by much. No one can beat Strother Martin. Jeff Bridges ain't no Duke. I'll take the original for overall entertainment value anyday. Fillmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Great Movie but one of the stupid-eeeeeeeeeeeest endingS I ever done saw Mike... that was the ending as Portis wrote it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madd Mike #8595 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Mike... that was the ending as Portis wrote it. i JUST THINK that a film wrigther in 101 class wooda dunn better mileage varies most folks leaving the theather, were mumbling, what I said great movie but the ending sucked sand from the bottom of the well or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulls Head Bill SASS#33692 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Fannie Kikinshoot, Two Fists, Cayenne 4 Pepper and I saw it tonight. We went in Cowboy attire. Guy behind the snack counter asked what movie we were going to see....... ............."Yogi Bear" I responded. TRUE GRIT was awesome!!!! I believe the Duke is Happy. EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!!! I WILL possess it when it is available on those plastic circles!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Jack Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I finally saw this movie last night. It made me like the original even more. If it is closer to the book, the book must have been a slow read. Bridges was difficult to understand every time he talked, more so than the guy who supposedly just bit his tongue nearly in two. Everything seemed to take place at night, hard to see. Plot moved so slowly I had trouble staying awake and remembering what just happened. None of the characters seemed to make me care if they lived or died. This was not my kind of western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
