True Grit (2010)

Just what I expected

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This film is not bad. But it isn't great either. The Bad - It is particularly boring at times when the two main characters are conversing whilst slowly moving along their journey. The cinematography is nothing to admire. But worst of all is the film's antagonists, if you can call them that. They don't serve their purpose as our heroes' main rivals, the only purpose they serve is being a device that brings our heroes together. We here about them throughout the entire film, the terrible crimes and killings committed. Boy-oh-boy these people sound menacing, I feel scared for our dear heroes as they creep ever so closer to finding these treacherous scoundrels, but I bet it's gonna result in a mind blowing conclus...wa...what...they're dead? That's it? We see them for less than 10 mins and they're all dead? That sucks. They were kinda pointless huh. And it wasn't even a satisfying death for the antagonist, I never hated him, I had no reason to, I had barely seen him. No stunning fight we were teased about happening for the last hour and a half. Just the few bullets shot and hey presto the bad guys are dead. This film also falls more under the romance genre whilst not really having any romance in it. The relationship between the main characters isn't that convincing, I never became truly invested in their friendship, they were usually quite disjointed, so I never felt sad at the end. Lastly the plot is quite bland and boring, yes this is a remake that was based off a book, but still on its own the plot just doesn't stand out. So I hear ya, why am I giving it a 6 when I've done nothing but talk shit about it, let me tell ya.The Good - The acting is pretty much masterclass. Everyone acting just nails it. An Oscar or two should have been won by these actors/actresses. Also the costumes and makeup are spot on, it all looked quite convincing. The music is good, but not amazing. And lastly the action is quite cool. But as far as anything good goes, that's about it.All in all, average film that could have been something more if it wasn't for a lacklustre plot with just as bad antagonists. I advise you do watch it if you haven't seen it, but don't expect much.

The ending wasn't as philosophical as the one in No Country. Its more kind of comic book movie ending... Some casualties, but the heroes won (Here, her arm, the horse, the fact she never saw neither of those two again)But the movie was better balanced between action and dialogue, which makes it much better for me (because I get tired of tooo muuuuch action) and probably worse for some (basically, Fast and Furious lovers... just kidding?)Hailee was just insanely good. Matt Damon was awesome too.

It' such a great movie. I think that the actress that played Mattie is amazing especially when she was only 14. I should congratulate Hailee Steinfeld of making Mattie such a great and enjoyable character But i know that i'm 12 doen't mean i don't understand what's happening. I also know how to feel for the characters. I think that i like the 2010 version than the 1969, but that's my opinion. I know it's a re-make and people don't normally like re-makes, because they're classics. But i'm born in the 21st century which means i like more newer movies than older. That's all i need said also i know that i have wasted my time typing this BUT WHATEVER!!! IT'S NOT LIKE I CARE. ~kaikaiwolf322

Hands down the worst thing I've seen by the C Bros, to the point I wondered if someone else was behind the camera. The story is generic, the characters are painfully annoying and overdone. The dialogue is campy. It's just not very good. Bad film. Bad script. Etc...I disliked the film the whole time I was watching it, especially the young actress playing the "spunky" female protagonist. She was particularly insufferable to listen to and watch. She overacted all her lines.There is some cool action sequences but other than that there is nothing worth viewing here. You can't enjoy a film just because it's a western and just because it's by the Coen Brothers. That won't cut it with me. It has to actually be good, and this isn't.Please avoid.
