I did, thought it was ok, well acted but very boring... I actually fell asleep and had to finish it the next day...
i thought it was awesome. casey affleck showed his chops. i thought his performance was OUTSTANDING. i preferred him for the best support actor oscar in this role.
I really like Casy Affleck thats cool to hear, I'm gonna have to check it out.

There were two people shot in the back (including Jesse James), but I wouldn't call that a gunfight. Basically, it was a 2 1/2 hour drama about Jesse James' life AFTER he stopped robbing trains and banks. If I'd have known that, I probably wouldn't have watched it. Was it technically a good movie? Yes, but it's a period drama with no action... not a western in the traditional sense. If you know that going into it, you might enjoy it more than I did.

I agree with your review. It was a well made movie but there were times when it dragged along. The last 20 or so minutes after James was shot was the only part that I really found entertaining. Mainly because I thought it made for a good discussion topic on what kind of person Ford was.
I saw "The Great Mouse Detective" for the first time in many years! Still a great movie! Older Disney movies are the bomb bay. Next I am wanting to watch "The Rescuers from Down Under"
Watched "Cloverfield" and definitely was dissapointed. There were some things I liked about it, but, for the most part, I thought it was a mess.
Watched "Impulse" last night (the guy at Blockbuster actually recommended it to me). Will be on Skin-a-max soon because the movie's crap, but you do get to see Willa Ford's breasts. I guess she meant what she said about wanting to be bad back in the day.
