Just got back from seeing Bale and Crowe. Two great actors. I like the original much better. The extra 30 minutes realy wasn't needed. And.....[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Bale dies. Van Heflin didn't[/B]
Its not as vulgar as Unforgiven. Unforgiven follows an anti-hero in Eastwood and has the theme of "vengeance for the mistreatment of whores." This movie is candyland compared to Unforgiven. Which btw, is why I was disappointed by this film. I heard comparisons to Unforgiven and got giddy, but the movie was kind of happy go lucky for a shoot 'em up western. Still really good, though I expected it to be more sinister.

I really can't wait to see this! I remember browsing Christian Bale's upcoming films ages ago and I thought "Oooo that sounds good!" and now that I've seen the trailer it looks good too.
It was an average film. A few scenes were pretty stupid. Like why does Russel Crowe stay in the down? He knows the popo will be back, and will catch him and in the scene where they're riding for hours and hours and the stage is riding for hours and hours. When the stagecoach gets burnt the good guys were watching it through binoculars wasn't the point of that whole thing so that they could get away? And the gay guy was weird...as far as parts I didn't get I might've just been tired if you have an explanation tell me

I thought it was good. I sorta thought the ending was a bit far fetched. I wasn't conviced that Russel Crowe's character [SPOILER - highlight to read]: would have put himself in so much danger at the end just to make Bale's character look good in front of his son.

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Well, they were both going to get what they wanted, so why not? By him calling his horse, he was obviously going to escape. Plus, no one was going to shoot him, not with his little "princess" around.
