AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Clifton Johnson I will fully admit that this movie goes well beyond slightly implausible to fairly ridiculous (especially over the last 20 minutes or so). But here's the thing: it earned the right to do so with great performances, stellar direction, and a perfectly paced story. Everything works. So when it inevitably devolves into a cliché Western shoot em up, you care way too much to be bothered by it. Crowe and Bale alone make this one worth a couple hours.

coasterswitch The best part of this western is Russel Crowe. He steals the movie from everyone else. Crowe's performance is enigmatic as he makes it cool to be an outlaw. From his mannerisms to his outfit he personifies a cool bad guy. He also makes his bad guy character intelligent too. Apart from Crowe; here is a terrific story. At the end of the day its about telling a story. This story is paced well and linear. The movie also provides a realness in its use of gun play and explosions. One cannot critique this movie without mentioning the performance of Ben Foster. He plays a more deranged bad guy than Crowe and without the charm but he does so in a mesmerizing fashion. 3:10 To Yuma is a great example of how a great Western can be and illustrates that they still can be made well today. I encourage everyone to see this movie. If you have never seen a Western this movie will make you a fan of the Western genre!

ivo-cobra8 3:10 to Yuma (2007) it is a fine western film from Russell Crowe and Christian Bale directed by James Mangold. It is a remake of the 1957 film of the same name, making it the second adaptation of Elmore Leonard's short story "Three-Ten to Yuma". Filming took place in various locations in New Mexico. 3:10 to Yuma opened September 7, 2007, in the United States and received positive reviews from critics.I am big fan of Russell Crowe and I love his movies and this was his second western film he did. The first one was in 1995 The Quick and the Dead with Sharon Stone which is definitely one of my favorite western films. I love Clint Eastwood western films such a: A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales. I love Young Guns, Tombstone, I already mentioned The Quick and the Dead, 3:10 to Yuma is also one of my favorite western films today. This movie is about so many things. Good and Evil (or right and wrong) and the blurry line that sometimes separates them, what drives a man toward one or the other. It's about desperation and self-preservation. Ben Wade is a criminal who from the first moment in the story we see has redeeming qualities, and as many criminals, he is also charming. Dan Evans is a good man, who comes close more than once to crossing that blurry line, out of desperation. There is Evan's boy, who is in a position to choose a hero (there are no heroes in this film). There is a lot at stake for both "sides" in this movie. While there are some negative opinions about the ending, I don't think it would have been satisfactory any other way.The pacing is good, the movie goes fast around it is not boring or overlong, the acting from everyone is solid, the action is good. I like the chemistry between Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. I must say Russell Crow is a talented actor and his movies are really good of course he is not great like is Keanu Reeves but he is way better than fat pig Arnold today. I love the characters in this movie and the chemistry between two leads (Crowe and Bale).3:10 to Yuma is a good western movie some say it is a classic I don't think it is, but it is close to a classic. We have a lots of shootouts and of course a real explosions. Ben Wade and Dan Evens are fine characters to watch, we have Peter Fonda as a bounty hunter Byron McElroy. This was a damn good western movie and I wish they would make more movies like are this one today. I hated Django Unchained to death I thought that movie sucked a hairy dick but this movie was a fine western that I was blown away. I had no clue this was even up for Oscar nominations. But, I can certainly see why with such a competent script, great storytelling, and even greater characters played impeccably by Bale and Crowe. I particularly enjoyed watching the chemistry that grew between them as the film progressed, which was elaborated upon even better due to their opposing personalities (Evans being the giver, and Wade being the taker). In fact, there were many a scene that I'd like to say I found thoroughly heroic and almost inspiring, in a sort of bittersweet retrospect, but at the expense of not ruining some of the more dramatic plot twists, I'll leave the viewing to you, the audience. The film presents a terrific balance of action, drama, and character development, all while being very realistic to the old west in terms of design and production. Aesthetically speaking, I'd probably go so far as to call it the best looking Western to date. Critically, I'd almost put it as one of my all-time favorite films, but I thought the overall length was just a tad too short for all the material to really stick with me by film's end. The rating I give to this film is 8/10. Anything under 7 would be ridiculous, as anyone claiming this isn't at least a GOOD western film (it is sure as hell better than all the remakes like Django Unchained that get high scores) needs their head examined. I give it another point because what it does attempt to do it accomplishes so easily and perfectly. (For reference, I gave Eastwood movies a ten.) Any true weakness it has is simply that it's just an western movie, and that's it. It's hard to say anything bad (other than nitpicks) about the film itself.3:10 to Yuma is a 2007 American Western film directed by James Mangold and produced by Cathy Konrad, and starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale in the lead roles, with supporting performances by Peter Fonda, Gretchen Mol, Ben Foster, Dallas Roberts, Alan Tudyk, Vinessa Shaw, and Logan Lerman.

javi-y-se-acabo James Mangold did a very good job in here, creating an new western in an old-fashioned way.It tells the story of Dan Evans (Christian Bale) a ranger who decides to take Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) an outlawed man who must be taken to a train station before the train of the 3:10 to Yuma arrives, in order to put him in jail.Here you have two very good actors together and that's a very good thing. On one side you have the poor ranger who wants to take care of is family at all cost, Christian Bale, and on the other side is this outlaw who must be taken to justice, Russell Crowe. They both carry all the weight of the movie in their relationship and they did it very well. Also a special mention to Ben Foster who did a very good job as one of the counterparts of Ben Wade, who is trying to rescue him.The action and chase scenes were very good and kept you on the edge of your seat at many parts, keeping the tension. Also it has a very good cinematography with a really awesome way of capturing the Far Old West. Also a very special mention to the fantastic score by MArco Beltrami, that at many parts reminded me of the old western classics.This is a very good movie, with great acting that for me was the perfect example of how to do a western nowadays. I highly recommend it!
