Review of True Grit (2010) by S053714 — 12 Jun 2011
Compared to the John Wayne original, this version was so very ordinary. Where the original had great scenery, music, acting and scriptwriting, this new version is very dull. Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon are fine actors but their lines are very wooden and unemotional - a sign of poor direction.
The girl was pretty good but she couldn't save the movie. Although the original is one of my favorite movies, I truly saw this version with an open mind, and didn't much care for it. Why is this movie so highly regarded ? I'm sorry but I think the Coen's are greatly overrated.
