Well I saw both movies back to back. The orginal one was pretty damn good as is the Coen Brothers version. The new one falls short of the Coen's best though. The computer graphics of a train arriving in Ft Smith with the town in the background was pretty lame as were the pauses in the story when Jeff and Matt got into a shooting match. I think the orginal is the better. John Wayne and Glen Cambell were superb. Dennis Hopper and Robert Duvall were in the old one too. I was amazed at the similarities in the movies. Costumes, dialouges, plot - I guess right from the book. The beginning and endings were different. I sort of liked the Coen versions but overall have to go with the orginal. Going to read the book next
