I enjoyed it a lot

Rating: 7/10 (19 April 2019)

I didn't know what to expect, because I didn't watch the original film. It's a very good story about valor and honor. I liked a lot the strange bunch that takes the journey, and all the encounters they have: the movie does a great job in making you feel how wild the west was. It was enjoyable from the start, but it's in the last 10 minutes that it gains all of its value. The ending is by far the best part, I strongly disagree with those who didn't like it. I think that if somebody didn't liked it, was probably following a preconcieved path about how characters should behave and how the movie should end. Instead, the power of this story is all in the possibility of change.
Russel Crowe is outstanding. I don't like him much usually because I think he seems always out of place in every movie he does, but this role really fits him perfectly, and he acted great.
That being said, Christian Bale is the main reason of the success of this movie, and by far the main reason to watch it. I don't know how he does it, but he turns every role he takes into gold.
