Amazing movie, 2010-08-22
I wasnt sure what to expect from this version of 310 to Yuma. But I sure wasn't disappointed. I had seen the original version with Glenn Ford and Van Heflin. I wasn't sure whether or not this version would stick to that version. I have such great respect for both Christian Bale and Russell Crowe; I wasn't sure during the film which character i wanted to hope for. I found the difference between the two movies to be the relationships. In the earlier version I didn't feel a closeness grow between the two men in the same way as this film. Glenn Ford seemed more menacing. Russell Crowe was more charmingly menacing. br / br /I was taken aback by the ending. The director did an amazing job with the violent scenes. They were almost like ballet scenes. The choreography of them gave them almost a poetic quality. Its true, as in th other reviews, i was very impressed with the supporting cast. It took me a while to recognize Peter Fonda. He gave a superbly subtle performance. br / br /I have always been a fan of the western film. It is great to see it back in such a successful way. Great performances, screenplay, visually stunning, and intensely enjoyable. It is very violent and i wouldn't recommend it for younger children.

Crowe as Eastwood, 2010-08-05
As an aficionado of the Sergeio Leone/Clint Eastwood 'Spaghetti Westerns', I really enjoyed this movie. Somehow, to me, this film--including the background mustic--had the same feel. To a certain extent, Ben Wade's band of violent desperadoes is reminiscent of Indio's band of renegades in 'For a Few Dollars More.' If you are familiar with the film, the sensuous but thoroughly detestable Indio, helps kill off his men so as to diminish the sharing of stolen treasure. Indio and Eastwood's 'Man with No Name', also establish a deadly relationship that the Crowe character [Ben Wade] progressively establishes with the courageous Dan Evans [Bale]. In both films the evil gangs are completely killed off. br / br /No, they're not the same movie but the similarites [to me, at least] are there. Leone's characters are a bit dirtier and less polished than the characters in this film, but they fit the bill. Actually the Indio and Eastwood characters [in 'For a Few Dollars More] are a combination of the Crowe character plus Crowe's devoted gang member-- the lethal fellow in the Confederate officer's uniform. This fellow, in particular, shows all of Eastwood's impossible expertise with a pistol and the Crowe character, Wade, is an excellent pistolero, himself. br / br /If you haven't seen it or, if it's a long time since you've seen it, I recommend watching 'For a Few Dollars More.' I know that 'The Good, Bad, and the Ugly' got more publicity but I think 'For a Few Dollars More' is the slightly better film. br / br /By the way, I see Leone, almost single-handedly, as the person who nearly killed off the classic Western. His Eastwood characters--The Man with No Name and 'Blondy'--are literally ridiculously good shots to the extent that much of Leone's films are [deliberately?] comical. '3:10' isn't comical but, still, nobody can shoot as good--with a pistol--as the guy with the Confederate uniform.

Another great remake, 2010-07-05
I am not necessarily a fan of westerns but this was a very good movie. Russel Crowe at his best, a very charming bad guy, you will be rooting for Christian Bale's character. The relationship that develops between the two men will have you wanting both of them to win.

Good Service, 2010-06-28
The video came quickly. Actually, two came because the payment option said my card wouldn't clear. I changed my payment method and it said it wouldn't clear again. I reordered and it went through, but so did one of the previous orders that said it wouldn't clear. However, the return process was easy and the refund was done very quickly. Thanks.
