Did anyone praising this movie actually see it?

Rating: 1/10 (10 January 2008)

Awful to say the least. So bad I could not finish it. Its a Western so of course I expected clichés, but this was just stupid. Or rather it assumed the audience was stupid. The sniper hitting a target on a bouncing stage-coach at 300 yards? Peter Fonda gut-shot with a .44 but riding hard the next day? I finally ejected it at the hotel scene where the #2 baddie was offering money to the townsfolk to do his killing for him. Why were the lawmen not picking the gang off instead?! Why didn't the good guys ambush the gang as they rode up the street in the first place after the the boy warned them they were coming?! As I like Crowe and Bale I do hope their careers can recover from this choker. At least I didn't get suckered into paying theater price but still wasted over an hour of my life.
