Very disappointing. It had great potential with it's cast, but left me in shock at the end of how terrible the movie was. Very slow and long with an unfullfilling ending.

I thought this was great. It had humor, drama, twists and wonderful chemistry from fine performances. If people weren't impressed by it, I imagine they're only impressed with things like "The Love Guru" or "Meet the Zohan". Truly a terrific Western. No wonder most professional critics are raving about it.

This was one of the best Western movies I have seen in quite awhile. Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen were both exceptional in their roles, especially Mortensen. He looked every bit the part of a Western gun slinger in the untamed west. If you're looking for a shoot em up wild west movie, this is probably not the movie for you, but if you just enjoy an honest to goodness old style Western you will not be disappointed.

Uh... bad direction (sorry, Ed), slooowww pace (zzzzz....), rough editing, and even Dean Semler's cinematography was uncharacteristically uneven (too dark, some parts seemed to be totally natural light with the actor's faces blacked out in the shade of their cowboy hats, other parts seemed lit-- hard to believe this was intentional. I thought maybe it had been shot by two different D.P's with totally differernt styles. Even the continuity had lots of problems. And the music... don't get me started (too late for that I guess.) Zellweger's character was a cartoonish stereotype. Jeromy Irons wasted his skill even appearing in this film. I really wanted to like this movie but it gave me little reason too. I am absolutely stupefied at the high praises some critics are giving it! What a waste of studio money and my time. Again, sorry Ed. Just calling it like I see it. (P.S. Do not hang around for the ending song under the credits. You'll be sorry. Again, sorry Ed.)

A pretty decent movie. I guess it is good to have westerns of all time here. This current movie review could easily be displayed at filmcrave.com. Its a good site to write reviews and such. But maybe that is just me?
