I saw it yesterday. Entertaining but not as good as the original IMHO. Too many changes.

[quackerback]

just got back from seeing it. i enjoyed it. the girl that played Ross was great.

[zztex]

My daughter and I saw it today and we loved it. The girl did a great job.

I saw it last night it was pretty good

Hollywood is not just out of ideas, this generation has no imagination! They grew up playing with video games and live action toys that did everything. They never had to pretend, imagine or dream up something while playing as children, so they never developed the ability to use their imagination.

Just think over the past several years the movie or sitcom remakes into movies.

How many can you name? Starsky and Hutch, Dukes of Hazard, as well as movie classics. Are they our of ideas or just after the "I liked that show as a kid so why not relive those memories with a remake"?

[long777]

Going to see it in the morning. Looks pretty good

Just got back. Should have waited to rent it. I wanted very much to like this movie more, but it just left me cold and wishing I were watching the original instead.

Kiddos finally got done reading the book so we watched the original tonight. Has been a while for me and was great. Oldest kid liked it due to the fact the movie stuck to the book unlike many she sees now days. Cant wait to see the new one.

In the old movie: Is that Robert Duvall playing Ned Pepper? IF so I never had a clue on that one, he is the greatest.

[brrdnk]

Yes that was Duvall as Ned Pepper in the original.

saw it last night, wasn't what I expected but still not half bad

[Sackett]

Saw it. Paid $5 at the early, early showing and glad I didn't pay the normal $8.50. It was just "ok" to me. Bridges won't be getting any nominations for this one but the girl should get supporting actor award. She made the movie watchable in my opinion. Damon was horrible. I've seen at least 5 better westerns in the last 10 years.

[Cuz]

Never saw the original or any John Wayne movie that I remember. Gotta see this one though!

[Atfulldraw]

We saw it tonight without much expectations either way.

Saw it with a bunch of folks in Washington (and one oddball wearing a Buccee's t-shirt )

Enjoyed it, had a few good laughs, but it's not in my top three Coen Bros. films.

I would say the average age in our theater was at least fifty-five.....

It was nice to go to a movie without the droopy-pant, look-at-me-I-have-a-cell-phone crowd.

Headed out the door right now to go see it, will let you guys know what I think later.
