Default Re: True Grit (2010)

I loved it. Was it better than the original, not sure. It was different. If you are going into it wanting the same movie you will be disappointed; however, what is the point of remaking a western exactly the same? Why have two of the same movie? If its a Sci-Fi movie then remaking it the exact same but adding better special effects might be worth it, but a Western is no different now than when Wayne first played Cogburn. It would be similar to comparing Sean Connery and Daniel Craig as James Bond. Both are great for different reason. My recommendation is to see it and try not to compare it and you'll enjoy it much better.
