I think the new version is much better than the original.

IMHO....John Wayne was great as John Wayne.....and Jeff Bridges was good as Rooster Cogburn....
.....and I liked the new supporting cast better than Campbell and Darby.....


I just saw it last night and have to agree with Ulmus and Seeker. I like the remake.

I thought the original was OK when I saw it the first time....but I was 12. Even then Campbell/Darby sucked. The only thing more wooden was the caskets.
In movies, John Wayne played John Wayne with different outfits and names.


You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles; but at least they drive slowly past schools.

 What do I think? I feel about the same way I did when Will Smith played James West, the fit just ain't right.

I bought it when it came out last Tuesday. I still haven't watched it yet. First movie that ever took me this long to watch. Now I'm starting to wonder why?  Bill T.

Its because you're distracted Bill. Too many guns, it gives you ADD. Send me a couple and it'll clear that problem right up. I won't even charge you for my services. ;D

His bigger problem is that he only has two hands when decision time comes:

On one hand there are the guns, and on the other there is Miss Legs, and on the other is ummmm, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, I've only got two hands  :-\
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.
