Wow... I saw the remake when it came out in the movies, and...I thought it was a nice tribute to the original.

Then, I rewatched the original...no contest. There is no Rooster Cogburn like John Wayne. Jeff Bridges did okay, but...there was a likableness to John Wayne's Rooster that Jeff Bridges just couldn't match. I gained a new appreciation for Kim Darby, but I will admit, every time I saw Campbell, I just thought "Man...what is it with that hair???"

Of course, when I saw Matt Damon, all I could think of was..."Matt Damon."
