Not a bad flick to see

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2008)

Well, I'm usually not a fan of westerns, but after seeing all the hype for this flick, we decided to rent it. Seeing as there isn't a lot I usually say about movies that didn't fit in my "Best" category, I'll try to do a little bit. No spoilers, for a change.
Things I Enjoyed:

Spectacular characterization. By the end of the film, you'll feel like you really know many of the main and main supporting characters, and that seems to be sorely lacking these days.

Great landscapes and a full set of fabulous props.

Unlike many of the "deleted scenes" you see on many movies these days, you'll actually wonder why the ones on 3:10 to Yuma weren't part of the flick, they're great!

You might actually learn something on the DVD extra features, about the Pinkertons, the aftermath of the civil war, and the start of many of the glorified wild west outlaw gangs.

Great acting, memorable lines, and a nice story/plot all around

Things I wasn't so fond of:

There were a few (as I like to call them) "Bwah?" moments; a few scenes why you may wonder why some people acted the way they did.

It did leave you feeling wanting after the end. Not exactly a "What was the point of this?", but it just...it leaves you feeling almost as though there should have been more, or perhaps a longer film.

I felt it had a few slow spots.

Other than that..this was an all right flick. I suppose I'm not surprised its received all the hype it has, after all the other junk Hollywood has been coming out with these days. Definitely not a waste of an evening, but not the best flick, either.
