One of my 2011 favorites... seriously, Steinfeld should've gotten Best Supporting.
I saw this film just because my dad wanted to, and I thought it was going to be a run-of-the-mill western. While it does have some familiar western themes, this movie was fantastic, and definitely deserving of an Oscar nom. The acting, the direction, the story. It was just all great. But in all honesty, if I were to buy a movie out of the 10 Best Picture noms, it would be "Black Swan".
Now that is better cover art, except where's the "Hailee Steinfeld" name?
Thought this was mediocre, highly overrated.
Didn't see this one yet. Will check it out.
Loved this film. Makes me want to see the original.
Missed this one in theaters, but all the awards it won and all the appriciation it's earning makes me want to see this so badly! Anything with Jeff Bridges can't possibly be terrible. He is the greatest actor of all time!
Artwork does suck, I can't believe 'Dances with Wolves' grossed $184,208,848 making it "the number one grossing western of all time" and that was 20 years when a movie ticket was between $4 and $5.
I agree. Original poster is better artwork.
not a huge fan of the artwork, i think the original poster of just the title and cast (no pictures) would have been better, but ill still be picking it up day 1
What? Over an HOUR OF EXTENSIVE BONUS FEATURES???? My, my, they truly left no stone unturned on this one! Just being sarcastic.
bad cover. Hailee Steinfeld's name is not even mentioned? She's just thrown in the bottom corner. Stupid.
I will only get this on DVD, I don't need it in hd.
this was ok, Im not much of a john wayne fan and going in I knew it would be alittle slow paced but it was worth the ticket admission but I wouldnt buy it on bluray.
Not the Coens best film, but pretty good. Still, I prefer the original True Grit to this one. I really hated the ending of this one.

Came out roughly same time as The Fighter, and thats coming out tomorrow. Looking forward to putting that digital copy on my new ipad as well.
Do u have the new iPad or the first run? I got mine last Xmas and love it. I was curious though if the digital copy will take up a lot of space on the iPad? My iPad is 16 GB
got the new ipad right when it went on sale online, should be coming by thursday, from what i've seen with other digital copies (namely the Back to the Future Trilogy digital copies and Toy Story 3) those are about 1.5GB of memory

I really did like this movie. I think I'll get it when it goes down in price. It was not the Coens best, but I thought it was pretty good.
An entertaining film, and puts them back on tracks after A Serious Man, which I know people loved, but that was a very niche kind of film. Dunno why the release date is in June, why so long? Some of us were hoping to import in April. Glad there's another extra on Roger Deakins, he's the man.
I thought it was better than the original, but its still not a great movie. The Coen brother's made it their own.
I loved the cinematography, and the Coen brother's sense of humor always hits the spot for me, but the more dramatic scenes and the storytelling did very little for me.

Saw it in the theater last Wednesday, and for a myriad or factors, I thought John Wayne's original is hands down superior.
The weirdest thing to me was that, despite the "This isn't a remake, but another (more faithful) adaptation of the Portis novel" rhetoric with which the movie was promoted, the new version felt like a quasi-shot-for-shot remake. Even Jeff Bridges seemed set up to look like Wayne.
It's certainly well-made and so on, but why bother remaking an already good classic?

It was great. A must own and a modern classic.
It was good, not great. 3:10 to Yuma is my preferred. Do coens never have deleted scenes? I know there was at least one scene in the ads but not in the film. When two women tell the you girl about her mother worrying where she is and she gives a sturdy response. This is also taking longer to come out than most movies these days
Missed this at the theater. Day one Blu-ray purchase for me!!
