[quote=LOOKAYANNER]Wow!!! Some of you guys are really good movie critics. :igiveup:10 Oscar nominations. What a terrible movie!! Maybe you're waiting for Saw XII to come out so you can see what a great movie is all about.:biggrin:

And by the way, John Wayne is one of the greatest character actors of all time. Now, he wouldn't have been much playing Hamlet but the man knew how to make a Western. He was one of the best and there's very few of his movies that I pass on if they are showing TV.

His True Grit movie was very good and he won an Oscar for his role in it. This movie is very good as well, albeit with a different style.
Google up the most popular actors of the 1940's and 50's and you'll see that John Wayne was rated #1 by movie fans for about 10 straight years.

And on another note, I think the best Western ever made was 1969's The Wild Bunch with Robert Ryan, William Holden, Warren Oates, Earnest Borgnine, and Ben Johnson.[/QUOTE







1. I guess the bolded part is all sarcam, but I dont know what your basis is? I thought we could all have an opinion and I think evveryone is being respectful of each others opinions. Correct me if needed.

2. Who said it was terrible? I said I liked it, just not as well.

3. I never have seen the Wild Bunch, so I cant comment.

4. I cant dispute the rest of your post.

I was just being sarcastic with some of my comments (that's why I put a Big Grin smilie in the post), but imo both True Grits are good movies.
And I know we are just giving opinions but for some to say that John Wayne was not good at his trade (when he was the #1 box office draw for close to 15 years) is ludricrous even if it is an opinion.
That's my opinion about Wayne and eveidently a whole lot of other people's opinion too, at least in the movie world.

And I wasn't referrring to any one post but several of them, but I was trying to do it in a joking way. My apologies if I offended you.
