Great Movie (Spoiler Alert)
4 June 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Yes this movie was worthy of my time, but felt that they didn't put enough effort into helping me understand why they were feuding; was it because of the timber rights on the land? How was it that they came to be friends in the military, and Hatfield decided to desert? How come Hatfield was never held accountable for anything?

The production quality was excellent and so was the acting; I did feel that Bill Paxton's role could have shown more grit. The character played by Powers should have been a bigger role, maybe he could have played uncle Jim instead of Tom Berenger. It almost felt like this was Kevin Costner's same old game of being the center of attention, even though he did a fine job, it was obvious that he had a lot of influence on the movie. As far as the ending, they really seemed to wrap up a lot of details in a short period of time; not sure I agree with that use of film. In closing, I think this would have been better with a 4th part allowing time for more details around the Hatfields and the McCoys before they started killing one another.
