• Excellent
  I couldn't wait to see this movie, and I wasn't disappointed. Such a perfect balance between all the elements that make a great movie: amazing cinematography, impeccable pacing, fascinating performances, pitch-perfect writing.

• Beautiful film to watch; Way too long
  I enjoyed watching the acting tour de force between Mr. Pitt and Mr. Affleck, but it's Sam Rockwell who deserves the accolades. Brilliant photography and direction, and a very carefully written script can't change the fact that at, almost 3 hours, it wasn't as exciting as I'd hoped it would be. Certainly, it's a good lesson about the "real" Jesse James (nasty guy) and Robert Ford (wannabe idiot). I wasn't revved by the narrative, but it was certainly a complete narative and beautifully acted.

• Movie, of course. Art, most defintetly!
  This movie is an art film. Watch closely and perhaps you can pick-up on the film's expression. You have to look beyond, and deeper, than the action, the story, the man, Jesse James, and the cowboy theme. This movie expresses the grand writing style of Ron Hansen's novel, of the same title, and the direction of Andrew Dominik. Spend time and allow this film to communicate to you its finer qualities.

• Jesse James....
  Hero? Robin Hood? Since when does the bad guy become something we should honor??? While showing that this man is a thief, the moderator describes Jesse James as a really nice guy but pushed into a life of crime. What about the people he stole from or killed? Sorry, if someone shot him in the back or shot him in the front I could care less just so long as he was taken out of this society!
  Brad Pitt's acting was as usual....slow and not a whole lot of dialog. The movie itself is slow, slow and slow with... more info
