3:10 to Yuma

A great ending to a great film. Christian Bale continues to shine as one of the best actors.

The action is okay , nothing amazing, but I find the lack of a deeper character development makes the movie not memorable. A nice western but it could have been much more.

This movie will be remembered as a masterpiece in the western genre in years to come

Genuinely loved this film, great action sequences, great acting and shows James Mangold is a good director. However the film is let down by such a preposterous ending, I genuinely felt annoyed by it. Still a great watch.

Best modern day western

3:10 to Yuma is a fantastic Western film and James Manigold is really turning into one my underrated directors. The film has an intense score, some absolutely smart cinematography especially towards the end which made me so impressed and overall some great acting. The sound for this film is unbelievable and feels like I have an IMAX theater inside my ears. The ending really is magnificent and has been questioning and second guessing while the credits role. 3:10 Yuma is definitely a Western I won't forget for a while. Can I also talk about Christian Bale who is truly a star and Russell Crowes on-screen chemistry, I can even comprehend how this is there first and only project together. Why after all my film years did I never know Christian Bale was English (well I knew he was English, but I assume he was one of them English and moved to USA early in birth) he sounds funny to me.

It's one of best remakes ever made. Furthermore it's one of only a handful where a legitimate arguement could be made and I would have to agree this is the better version which is one heck of an accomplishment. Really good cinematography and music score. The original has a better soundtrack I have to say but this does a great job and does it's own thing well. The direction is really good and the action scenes are really good. Very good acting also. I think one could argue Ford or Bale is better or Van Horn vs Crowe. But I'd have to say I'm split with Crowe and Ford respectively being better. The editing and pacing are excellent here. And where this truly shines is in the changes it makes to the overall story. where the first is a thriller of sorts. This one is much more of a western adventure, faster pacing, more fleshed out characters adding to the main duo, and some changes that I really thought were great twists. It felt like it was doing it's own thing. This really only resembles the 57' one 30% of the time it feels like. The added father/son relationship dynamics and the adventure aspects with other characters really is what puts this one on top. On paper this is a bad idea to try and touch this. But in reality this is lighting in a bottle. Everyone should give this a try once and even the 57' one too.

Masterpiece of a movie, led by a generational talent Christian Bale!

4.0 stars; This is a classic western. It is an improvement on the original. This is primarily due to the excellent performances from Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. One of my favorite Westerns.

I really enjoyed the way the characters of outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) and rancher Dan Evans (Christian Bale) progressed through the movie. At first Wade was more ruthless than compassionate but by the end was very sympathetic and respectful of Evans. Conversely, Evans started out very meek and not respected by his son but through his experiences dealing with Wade, developed character and a toughness. This becomes most evident toward the end of the movie as Evans is successful battling the outlaws to get Wade onto the prison train. In the process, Dan Evans gains both the respect of his son and Ben Wade. The final scene of this movie was both gut wrenching and heartwarming. I think this is the best work both of these actors have ever done.
