This movie will not disappoint. Even non-western loving people will like this movie. There were more laughs than many comedies I've seen as well. I have always enjoyed the Cohen brothers sense of humor. It is good to see Matt Damon redeem himself a bit after that pile of crap Green Zone that I wasted my time and money on.

I just saw it tonight and I must say it is one of the best movies I have seen in some time. I am a big John Wayne fan (who isn't) but thought Jeff Bridges put on an Academy Award performance. HOWEVER, I think the girl that played Maddie Ross stole the show.

PS: I didn't see that ending coming

PSS: Even though I don't like Matt Damon, he was also pretty darn good

Saw it last night, it was good. I dislike Damon and Bridges politics and stances on gun control especially when they are making money from movies where firearms have a large part in their roles. Setting that personal issue aside it was OK. I kept hearing how this wasn't a remake but aside from fleshing out some additional details it seemed awful close to the original, been a few years since I saw the Wayne version though and I read the book almost 30 years ago so maybe my memory is fuzzy.

John Wayne will always be Rooster Cogburn to me.
