True Grit

M: So, I'm going to get myself in trouble, but I didn't think that this was as great a movie as everybody seemed to make it out to be. Yes, it is good looking, and yes, the girl was very-very good. But as far as the story goes, it wasn't that great. I thought there would be more to it than "let's get revenge," and "ok, we got revenge." Plus, I couldn't really understand everything that was said, which is a shame because the lines were the best part of this movie. Don't get me wrong, its a good movie. But, after all the best picture buzz it got, I expected more. 3 stars.

V: It is truly gritty.  The little girl is pretty good.  I think that Jeff Bridges was good, too - but I could not understand what he was saying 80% of the time.  So I guess I could re-watch it with subtitles, but I won't.  I, too, thought, "That was it?" at the end.  It was good, not great. 3 stars
