A dreamlike look at famous outlaw

Weak Western

Just because...

"I'm going to see this movie just because one of the reviews stated that they preferred 3:10 To Yuma. No movie could be as bad as that was. I mean it ends with a one legged cowboy running to get a outlaw on a train to take him to federal prison while 20+ of the outlaws buddies are trying to stop him. LOL! He so outnumbered that no one else is willing to risk it, even the law man that deputised him. LOL! lastly, the outlaw (Russell Crow) runs wih him.LOL! Incredible!! i'll take my chances wit Jesse James! "

Good movie

"Ok, this movie was very good, and I would have rated it much higher, but it's about an hour too long. The acting is great and Casey Aflack proves he is much better than his brother. Brad Pitt also does a wonderful job. The settings and filming are also very good, but it doesn't make up for the movie being way too long. They try to make up for it by having unnecessary gore, that actually hampers the movie itself. Go watch get a big tub of popcorn, and a small drink :)"

"One word for this film...INCREDIBLE. If you are part of the fast-editing, no valleys all peaks, can't sit still long enough to read a book MTV generation, than wait this out and go spend your money on the latest cheesey blow'em up Hollywood flick...you are the reason they don't make movies like this anymore...if ya wanna see a well crafted story w/ one of the best leading men to ever grace the screen, than DON'T MISS JESSE JAMES...long live the Western!"

Movie or Documentary?

1 Stars

RGR_C

"I was very disappointed in this movie or documentary. Oh, it has some good scenes and it seems the director was all about throwing in these special shots, but these... a good movie, does not make. It is capital, B_O_R_I_N_G! (Is the director an Italian or something? If you like Westerns, go see 3:10 To Yuma, this movie, on the other hand, makes your skin crawl, just waiting for it to expire... with Jesse, but no, goes on to Robert Ford's death. Don't even bother to rent this one on DVD, when it comes out! It's a B movie, done with recognizable actors. Honest."
