Amazing movie, with a really Authentic feel to it. Yes it is not much like the original, but it is really good. if this movie is not nominated for an Oscar I will be really surprised.

Found this movie boring. The actors seem to be more interested in their performances...really, I got lost in this...it took away from the story. That's how it came through for me and also my husband. We did not enjoy it and could have walked out early but stuck it through to see if it would get better. The main actress is cute, but that's about it.

The dude comes back to life in this remake of Paul Newman's True Grit. Jeff Bridges character as the old fogey, but lovable bounty hunter takes cues from his previous Coen brother's movies, but his sidekick Matt Damon plays off his tenacity very well. The precocious girl who's avenging her father's death is a not to be missed character...she is sure to go far in Hollywood!

Expected more from this movie with all the hype. The original is still the best with John Wayne but the acting was good in the new version. The action was still to slow to save this remake.

My family watches True Grit every Christmas. The new movie had a couple of really bad continuity errors - and I just don't know why you would do a remake of the superb original.

WOW! as usual, the Coen Bros.did a fine job...the characters were so`gritty`.How do they always find so many ugly people I wonder...or perhaps it is all make-up. The young girl gave an amazing performance and it was nice to hear the òld-fashioned vocabulary coming out of her mouth with such panache. Jeff Bridges played his part to the hilt..( you could almost smell him he was so disreputable) Matt Damon was believable in his role as well. I am not fond of Westerns but was pleasantly surprised by this film. You did have to listen very closely to catch all the words at times though

Not having seen the original, all I can say was fantastic, on these actors performances. They did a great job, and so did the writers, until the ENDING :( Interested to see if there was an alternate ending, on the DVD, when released.
