watched the new True Grit and then a copy of True Grit with John Wayne on blu ray. Similar story minor changes here and there but overall not impressed with it. Too many parts are identical and then there are changes to the original which left me wondering what all the hype was about. Hollywood is obsessed with remakes now! Technology is good but not always better, look at the location shooting in the original, no computer generated images here! Next remakes:- Casablanca, The African Queen, High Noon auziskot : 13 May 2012 3:50:56am ((True Grit))[[10]] Kim Darby and glen Campbell ruined the original... Jeff bridges did a fantastic job as the main character... Great performance I do like john Wayne a lot but he is not a great actor.... just very popular... a Stallone type...

The young girl is excellent as is the Matt Damon. Nice ending! littlemurders : 16 Feb 2012 1:35:26pm ((True Grit))[[7]] As a Cohen Bros fan, I was hoping to give this five stars, having high expectations of dialogue tinged with irony and wit. Unfortunately, I couldn't discern the mutterings of its protagonist, Rooster Cogburn. I didn't have that problem with John Wayne in the original. Just as well, as I had to rely on my memory from the 1969 film to glean what was happening
