Schu Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I found it very very good. I am sure most folks will find the movie different than they were expecting perhaps, but I loved it.this movie isn't about graphic violence, though it does have graphic violence in it... this movie isn't about flashy action, though there are action packed scenes... this movie is about dialog and acting which is top notch... especially by the young actress Hailee Steinfeld.Art direction and specially the make up and wardrobe are superb in this movie, but pale in comparison to the period dialog.highly recommended for MATURE audiences!Folks just do not "lacquer" there language like this anymore. this movie may even top Barton Fink for dialog....

thebes Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Thanks for the write-up I may have to see it after-all. I'm reluctant because I'm not sure The Dude could abide The Duke, if you get my drift. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnatnoop Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 i didn't think i'd like it either 'cause, like thebes states, how can you top the Duke? well, saw it a few days ago, it is quite a bit better than the original, and i like the original. excellent movie.

kelA Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I finally got around to seeing this movie. I kept thinking the "Dude" was channeling Carl from 'Sling Blade'. I was just waiting for him to ask the girl to fix him some bisquits with mustard. Seeing the original many years ago ruined it for me.

Boxx Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I finally had a chance to see it last night... I enjoyed seeing it and comparing it to what I remembered from the John Wayne version. Now I waiting for the new flick, "Cowboys vs. Aliens (I think that is the title). What next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatgrass Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 From the buildup and comments, I was expecting finer dialog and more intropsective development of the characters and their relationships. I still find the original a better movie. Just me, but the Duke, and others, still rules on this one. Didn't find an improvement other than some cimematography (did I spell that correctly?), but that is a function of technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxx Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've recorded the original so that I can watch it again.... I also enjoy movies with Robert Duval... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbsl Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I have not seen the original in a LOOONG time but it seemed more of a comedy/action and the new one had more of a serious tone to it. I thought it was a very good remake but have to pick the original cause of the Duke![Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa49 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I loved it! Had no idea what to expect but it was great! I'm a big supporter of movies that portray woman as actual characters and people, as opposed to just pretty faces being molested, attacked, or just standing around looking ornamental. The kid totally kicks butt. This movie is beautiful, melancholy--one of the only quasi-action/historical films I've ever seen that managed to be exciting and also pulled at the heart strings a bit.
