Have watched the original with Glenn Ford but havent seen this remake. Trailer looks good, wonder if they modified it in anyway.

 

I want to see it. Like both of those guys.

 

I saw it in theatres, I thought it was awesome. I am gonna go buy it this weekend.

 

I heard real good reviews on this one. I too am going to check it out this weekend.

 

I enjoyed it. Crowe and Bale make it. They are just the ****.

 

I thought it was real good:up:

 

I believe the ending is a bit different. A lot of it is similar from what i've heard. I only saw pieces of the original so i cant say for sure though.

 

Don't normally like Westerns but I thought this remake was excellent, I really liked this one. great movie. :up:

 

I haven't seen it, but I've been tempted because it stars Christian Bale. He take those movies in the "worst movie thread" and make them awesome.

 

Excellent movie. Love Bale.

And Russell Crowe, what can you say? To hear about his personal life, the guy sounds like a jerk. But in front of a camera, every single character he plays seems unique to me. Too many actors seem like the same guy from one movie to another, or you see the actor's personality come through the person they play (i.e. Cruise, Denzel). With Crowe, I'm always looking through that character's eyes, whether it be Ben Wade, Bud White, Maximus, John Nash, Jeffrey Wigand, whoever. I guess I have to say I think he's one of the best actors out there. Bale's much the same.

 

I thought it was a great movie.

 

I agree with everything you're saying, except for Maximus. That was the single worst performance of his life next to Virtuoisty. Why he won an Oscar for that instead of the Insider, or LA Confidential, or Beautiful Mind, is utterly beyond me.

As far as Bale is concerned, I've never seen him give a bad performance.

I think one of the single greatest performances in cinema is Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York. I now the movie isn't for everybody, but that performance is one for the ages.

I will say though, the most underrated actor in all of Hollywood is Danny DeVito. The man is a chameleon. I'm serious. For a man of such...um...unique appearance, he has range like you wouldn't believe. Look at the range he displays between: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Ruthless People, Renaissance Man, Batman Returns, and Get Shorty. It is flat-out incredible.

 

:confused: he is like Joe Pesci but relaxed or something...

Right now you really can count on one hand the people in Hollywood that are actors (and are not just carrying themselves through their charisma and charm) basically Daniel Day-Lewis, Cate Blanchett... ummm... Daniel Day-Lewis... Cate Blanchett... and ummm... well there's those two.

Everyone else is just not consistent, they'll do a great job and then mail it in. A great job and then mail it in.

As for 3:10 I just saw it. Fun movie, really fun movie. I feel like it will hang around for a long time as a fun movie.
