Looks like it could be entertaining. Probably not as good as the original though.

Couldn’t get that other link to work.

watched on youtube

The original True Grit was honestly not a good movie at all. Wayne had had much better performances in his career. And let’s not forget Glen Campbell’s acting...or maybe we should.

I trust the Coen brothers. I’m sure this will be a better version.

The two things that made me slightly interested in seeing this movie were “Jeff Bridges” and “The Coen Brothers”. That trailer clinched it, it looks like it has the potential to be a great movie. We have’t had a good old style western since Unforgiven.

Not a “”One Eyed Fat Man” and Cogburn is outright dumpy.

The hat is stupid instead of helping him look imposing.

The smoking? LOL Good guys don’t smoke on film anymore.

Completely unkemp and looks he doesn’t bathe.

Clothes are to dark and obfuscates the good guy image of Cogburn. The film also takes the dark tone with Cogburn in the shot. It’s as if to say he is a Jekyl and Hyde.

Cogburn also doesn’t hold his guns straight true but rather waives them or holds out only 2/3rds with a bent elbow. Makes him look lucky for shooting and haphazardly lazy for a man who should be confident in the one thing he is good at.

Still it has Jeff Bridges(The Dude abides) and I will probably watch it...when it’s available at Red Box.

I was really disgusted that there was going to be a re-make of True Grit... until I found out it was the Coen brothers. They might just pull this off.

Trailer looks good.

Much as I”ve enjoyed the Coen brothers flicks, I’ll skip this one. Nobody redoes John Wayne and pulls it off. Why not redo “The Sands of Iwo Jima” ? Hollywood has no originality

Jeff Bridges will win ANOTHER Best Actor award with this movie.

He makes a great drunken killer of criminals.

FU Matt Damon...Boston punk.

Can’t stand that whole Mass. Boston accent, prep-boy attitude, etc.

If the trailer is any indication, the acting is horrid.

The dialogue sounds pretty crappy too.
