Agreed. The new version is superior in all aspects except that Jeff isn’t the Duke.

I saw this with my family on Wednesday. I had wondered how I would like it compared with the John Wayne version. I came away actually liking this version better. Sorry, but that is how I felt after the movie.

I know John Wayne is a legend; but, I felt Jeff Bridges did an excellent job as Rooster. Matt Damon was certainly better than Glenn Campbell; and, the girl playing Mattie was very good.

My two girls liked the movie (I call them girls tho both are in their 20's.), but, I don't think Westerns are a genre that the young are tuned into anymore. Unlike my husband and myself who grew up with westerns on t.v. and the big screen.
