Ridiculous twaddle. Contains many spoilers!

Rating: 3/10 (18 May 2010)

Reading other people's reviews, I wonder if I saw the same movie. A fan of Mr. Crowe, I looked forward to seeing his performance compared to the original, which I am old enough to remember. Rancher Dan Evans and family, haven't got a pot to pee in, yet his Mrs. looks like a glamour model. Robbing the coach, the gang risk getting shot up by the well armed Pinkertons until Ben Wade drives a herd of cattle in front of the coach, why not do that in the first place? Byron McElroy gets gut shot, then is seemingly miraculously cured, able to go along riding his horse and seeking revenge. Amazing. Ben Wade proceeds to hang around town, drinking and having his wicked way with the local beauty, (who as usual has TB,) apparently just waiting for the posse to turn up and catch him at it. Ben Wade, the nemesis of the region, then seems to realise what a rotten person he is and appears to help Dan Evans get him onto the train, as if! Of course, rancher Evans has to die, his son now realising his father is a hero. By the time Mr Crowe decides to shoot all the remaining members of his loyal gang who are attempting to rescue him, I was fast losing the will to live. Talk about a cop-out, bang! bang! and everybody fell down dead, is no kind of an ending for me! A big disappointment.
