I love this movie so much

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The ending wasn't as philosophical as the one in No Country. Its more kind of comic book movie ending... Some casualties, but the heroes won (Here, her arm, the horse, the fact she never saw neither of those two again)But the movie was better balanced between action and dialogue, which makes it much better for me (because I get tired of tooo muuuuch action) and probably worse for some (basically, Fast and Furious lovers... just kidding?)Hailee was just insanely good. Matt Damon was awesome too.

'True Grit (2010)' is told with the Coens' signature dancing dialogue, realist yet distinctly cinematic style and slightly absurdist slant, all of which culminate in a very unique yet decidedly well-worn spin on an old tale in (what's arguably) an unfortunately dying genre. It's a feature that adheres just as strongly to the tropes of that genre as it does to the tropes of its head filmmakers' now iconic portfolios. While its perhaps more meditative than some and it certainly isn't an action film by any stretch of the imagination (regardless of its body-count), there's often a sense that the story has been imbued with a slower pace than necessary simply to include long sequences of deliberately cumbersome but unintentionally repetitive back-and-forth banter and odd, almost dream-like asides that serve to paint this version of the old-west as one of strange folk struggling to earn their keep anyway they can, an admirable attempt to introduce some extra - and, actually, unneeded - personality that often falls flat thanks to the fact that the rest of the piece isn't anywhere near as weird - or as slow - as these moments. Still, there's a decent sense of a dusty, rustic style and a no-nonsense tone, both of which combine with the scenery (and screenplay) chewing performances to make for an enjoyable experience. 8/10

Terrible. People didn't speak like that in the late 19th Century. I have early recordings from around the turn of the century, and except for an Eastern accent, people actually spoke in contractions just like we do today! They wouldn't be that hard to understand. Some dialog coach decided that every word should be spoken without contractions in a robotic manner. I tried to keep it out of my mind, but the delivery of almost every actor was so stilted that I couldn't continue after 20 minutes of "See Dick run. Run, run, run. See Jane. See Jane run. See Spot run, run run run." It ruined the movie for me. I don't care what happened in it. I deleted it from my queue.

A difficult task it is, to take a near iconic movie and improve upon it, but the Coen Bros. and cast most certainly did it here. The poetically earthy cadence and content of the richly written dialog was masterful, as was the ease in delivery by all in the cast who spoke it.Bridges completely owned and clearly reveled in his wonderfully nuanced performance, and the young actress who played Mattie filled the tall order of making real and believable the unusual precociousness of her character. The entire cast delivered, not the least of which was the traveling doctor or Bear Man, whose all too brief appearance was a delightful Coen Bros. confection.This is one of the all too few films that measures up to the difficult task of intelligently entertaining the eye, mind, and spirit; something the Coen Bros. have been able to achieve with uncanny consistently.Bravo!
