Not sure what the excitement was all about.

Rating: 4/10 (26 September 2007)

I saw the advert on TV one night and it said something like "critics are calling 3.10 to Yuma the best western for years" or something like that, but anyway i thought i'd go see it, and i did, and to be honest I'm not sure what the fuss was about. There was nothing in this movie that stood out to make it something special only basic stuff which we've all seen, all the gunfights at least one person died on the goodies team which was a failed attempt to make them look realistic, Bale had a long range sawn-off shotgun which could kill someone from about 30 metres, Crows character Ben wade had a personality change, one minute he's a ruthless killer the next he's a nice guy who helps Bale do his job, the ending was not what you expected in a bad way and cause's Crows character to have a even bigger personality change.
Over all 3:10 to Yuma was a disappointment which did a good job of getting me excited over nothing, in fact the characters were so stupid at times it almost makes you think "why the hell is he doing that its such a simple thing to get out of a building thats surrounded by men, why don't you just kill them with the long range sawn-off shotgun like a classic western would do".
i give 3:10 to Yuma 4 out of 10 its better to watch a 50's,60's western.
