I'm gonna disagree about his acting. While, he did play the same character in many of his films, it was not all of them. In "The Wings of Eagles" he played a different kind of character, almost giving up on life at one point in the film. In the searchers he was a jaded racist, in Big Jake, he was nothing of the sort. In In "The Conqueror" he played a terrible Genghis Khan. I honestly think he had a fairly decent range as an actor, but made his living playing a role he was good at. It's kinda like criticizing a Quarterback because he's a good passer and doesn't scramble much. Sure, maybe he should work on it, but what if he's winning with what he's doing?
On a lighter note, is anyone else excited for Ender's Game coming out in 2013?
The remake is better than the original. John Wayne was a pretty terrible actor.
Bruce Willis, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Reginald VelJohnson, Alec Baldwin, Samuel L. Jackson, John Cusack, Will Smith, William Shatner, Jason Statham, The Swaze-Dog, Jimmy Stewart, Joe Pesci, Michael Cera, Vin Diesel, Jack Nicholson, and the list goes on. Including Wayne. They all were made famous with the same character type and continued down that path.
