This film is great. The Coen brothers hit it out of the park with this film.
This film is getting a lot of unnecessary hate for being a remake of a John Wayne classic. These people do not know what they are talking about. These films are two different masterpieces that really shouldn't be compared to each other. Both are great in their own right. Yes, they are based off the same book, but this is more faithful.
Jeff Bridges, while not quite as memorable as the Duke, does a wonderful job here. He put his own, "Dudeish" spin on it. Don't compare Mr. Bridges to Mr. Wayne. It accomplishes nothing. A film is a film.
The direction and acting is top notch. The young actress who plays Mattie Ross is brilliant, and a great find by the Coen brothers. Matt Damon is also great, he's a perfect ***hole.
The film is beautifully shot. And it sounds great. My hat goes off to the cinematographer and composer.
9/10
