Norm Sauceman Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Went to see the remake of "True Grit" today and it was as I thought...NOT GOOD at all...Bridges over-acted the part and Damon, well, was just Damon...dry.... I hope they leave well enough alone and try not to hack another great western that was a classic already..... Gave it a 3 out of a 10.

texastrophies Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Like you Norm, I am a huge John Wayne fan. Just from seeing the previews on TV I wasn't very impressed but hoped it would be ok. I am sure I will still watch it, but agree with you on if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

Norm Sauceman Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I hope you all go and see it...I just had to give my 2 cents on it and I really want to see if I am just a staunch John Wayne fan and biased or if I am spot on.

Ethan Givan Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I still want to see it. I had my doubts that it could be as good as the original. It is one of my favorite John Wayne movies, along with "The Cowboys." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 It may be good for those who never saw the original. I just wish they would leave the classic as they should be...classics!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Like you Norm, I am a huge John Wayne fan. Just from seeing the previews on TV I wasn't very impressed but hoped it would be ok. I am sure I will still watch it, but agree with you on if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. I'm with ya! I relly don't care much for Jeff Bridges or Josh Brollin, so I was already dissapointed from just seeing the previews. What happened to originality....seems like a majority of the new movies coming out are remakes, sequels, or based of an old t.v. show.

stevebeilgard Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 i'm also a john wayne fan, but was planning on seeing the show anyway. now i think i'll wait until it's on dvd. i was expecting anything less than the duke was going to be disappointing.

billkay Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Saw it tonight. I'm also a huge Wayne fan. The original is one of my all time favorites. I think that the difference between the movies is the interpretation of the book that both flicks are based on. I thought that this was a pretty good movie. If you're anticipating an actor trying to be the Duke, you'll be disappointed. Enjoy it for what it is. 3 stars from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
