What kind of a silly story was this

Rating: 3/10 (23 February 2009)

OK, I'm a huge western fan. Yet modern westerns have always been disappointing to me. Gone are the days of Clint Eastwood and this movie proved that the good times have left on the 3:10 train... maybe going to Yuma? First the story... It starts off good but then Ben Wade LETS himself get caught. OK, not that bad. Then they do a switch where the 'good guys' make the 'bad guys' think Ben is in a coach by putting one of their own in. The funny thing is they LOCK their own guy in. Which means he gets burnt to death later on cause he cant get out. I cracked up laughing it was so funny.
OK, then Ben kills one of the guys with a fork. They don't shoot him. He throws the old bounty hunter off a cliff, they still don't shoot him. Then he escapes. So they shoot the guys who capture him. OK, so they are hell bent on getting him on that train and upholding the law. But its just getting to the point of ridiculousness.
OK, then there is the end scenes. Even though there are gangsters in town, who just shot the sheriff and his deputies the townspeople in the background still go about their daily business. I found it funny watching one guy do the shopping in the background whilst they were shooting people. By now, the sheriff is dead and they still don't kill Ben. Its crazy.
OK at the end the main star runs out and tries to get Ben to the train. Ben Wade ends up helping him SHOOT his own men. But I guess that OK as they keep multiplying. When they ride into town they count 7 men. But they end up shooting about 12 of them.
Then at the end Ben Wade ends up shooting the only guys who actually cares about rescuing Ben Wade. This movie was so ridiculous it ended up becoming a comedy for me.
The only thing missing was a 70 year old Clint Eastward coming out with his poncho and shooting Ben Wade and then making a cheesy catch phrase. But that would only make the movie better IMO.
To give it some credit (4 out of 10) I'll say the cast was good and the acting great.
Its worth watching but don't take it seriously.
