I hated the 2010 version of True Grit. Nothing can compare to the John Wayne version.

Really? I thought the 2010 version was a vast improvement, and very true to the book as well.

“Nothing can compare to the John Wayne version.”

I think casting Glen Campbell, who had never acted a day in his life, in such a major role, really brought down the original. He was awful.

I liked the dialogue in the new version. As far as comparing it to the great John Wayne version its almost like two separate and distinctly different movies IMO.

I usually enjoy most everything the Cohen brothers have done, I find their dark humor hilarious. However I’m beginning to have an aversion to hanks.

For some who may not know, this is a sampling of Cohen brothers movies:
Raising Arizona (1987)
Miller’s Crossing (1990)
Fargo (1996)
The Big Lebowski (1998)
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
No Country for Old Men (2007), Burn After Reading (2008)
A Serious Man (2009)
True Grit (2010)
Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018).

I just found out somebody remade Eastwood’s “The Beguiled”.

Why would you DO that??

/Hanks gives me the creeps

At least Glen Campbell was not in the new version to ruin the entire movie. He was NOT and actor.
