Rating:  - Incredible!
This movie is a masterpiece! I actually just saw the original and this is much better. Christian Bale is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. Russell Crow aka Gladiator-nuff said. If you haven't seen this movie, WATCH NOW?
Rating:  - a good western for those that don't like westerns..
I was pleasantly surprised watching this film- yes, it is a "western", but the characters are so well-written it's really a character study of the two main characters in the film, as they battle wits against each other.
The focis stays on the characters and not so much on the action, although there is action also.
The ending leaves the door open for a sequel, which would be welcomed.
Rating:  - Unusual pace and plot; unexpected narrative
My viewing was spoilt by the DVD going into annoying segments of blank video with the audio running. Several false starts and disc cleaning later, I managed to see the movie. Amazon needs to check on the rest of the DVDs in its stock if only spare any one else buying it now.
Interesting movie; unusual western which keeps up the pace even if it comes near the point of getting bogged down. In the end, a satisfying movie. Masterful performance by Crowe and Bale.
Rating: - Great Western
I loved the movie. Everything about it was enjoyable: the scenery, the acting (WOW. Bale and Crowe are great together, awesome chemistry), the plot and YES, the infamous ending. It was suspenseful, I cared about even the minor characters, and I understood the motives throughout the movie. Great action and gunplay.
Yes, there are plotholes. But every movie has them, and I was so caught up while watching it that I just didn't care. I'm not one to pick apart a movie anyway, unless it's an arthouse film. I think it's a great way to spend two hours, and if you love it like I did, you'll watch it again and again and recommend it to your friends.
It has lots to say about the measure of a man, who we are when no one is watching, God, redemption, and the human heart. I won't bother with a summary as so many others have already done that.
Just watch it. If you enjoy good action, good chemistry between co stars, exploring relationships, and a man's need to be a hero, plus suspense and good old fashioned shoot em ups, I think you'll at least like, if not love it !
Rating: - one of the ten best films of any year
a truly great modern western . you'll either agree or not , and that's fine , but mangold and company did a magnificent job . all else that needs to be said has been said better and more thoroughly by other writers here . strongly recommended .
