True Grit remake? Really?

[T-TOPPS5.0]

thought this was kind of cool for those interested. It shows the buildings and landmarks still there today.

LMAO.

I'm only 22, and I f'ing love John Wayne movies
Though I agree it should have been left alone, just judging by the previews it looks pretty decent.
As long as no one decides to remake El Dorado, I'll be just fine.

Isn't that a remake of something else? An earlier Mitchum movie? Rio Bravo?

They were pretty close story line wise. Rio Bravo is one of my top 5 John Wayne movies. I think the cast was pretty good in it. ( John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickenson and Walter Brennan as Stumpy!!!)

I cant see True Grit as a remake because it is such a classic. However I would really like to see The War Wagon remade. I feel they did a poor job making it and the story is a good one.

Considering who made it, I am willing to give it a chance.

Its not a remake of the classic- its the Coen's adaptation of the book by Charles Portis.

It will be good I'm sure as every Coen movie has great dialogue, plus the dude always abides man.

Maybe its just me... but I saw it last night and I was NOT impressed. Even if I had not seen the original, I would still have walked out thinking it was no better than just OK. I cant get into detail about it as I dont want to ruin it for those who plan to see it.

Who cares. Old movies were made with shit graffix and new movies look better then there. Old counter parts. Gee how some people like to bitch. Joking.

You're the first person I've heard say it wasn't that good.

If you told me that "x" movie was the greatest john wayne movie ever, and "y" movie was only a decent, or crappy modern flick made today, i'd watch the y way before even thinking of watching x.

Its not that I flat out didnt like it, I just didnt think it was better than just Ok. I thougt it was a bit slow. I dont regret seeing it. I just didnt think it came close to the original. I know it was supposed to be based on the book and not the movie.... but weren't both movies based on the same book? And lets be honest, most are comparing it to J.W's version. I just cant say why I didnt like it because it would require me to talk about the differences in the movies. And as I said, i dont want to ruin it for anybody.

It boils down to different strokes........

ALL Coen brother movies are slow, that just kind of comes with what they do. I haven't had time to go see this, but I'm very excited to.
