Cohen Brothers do it again and make the original movie almost unwatchable. Although, this movie is not a remake of the first, but follows more to the book. With the Cohen brother humor and "grit", it may brings westerns back like Eastwood's "Unforgiven" did for a bit.
It was a fun movie. It was not a great movie and I know the critics have trashed it. But if you saw the trailer and thought it looked liked fun, go see it. Sure it is silly and unrealistic - but so was the trailer. But I love watching Gerard Butler and I had fun.
I went to see the movie because a friend wanted to see it. I disliked the last one and had no interest. But I really enjoyed it. The characters were all entertaining, the story movie moved along great and I was not bored. I was really entertained. And isn't that why we go to the movies. It was much better than the Hulk. I recommend it. Don't listen to the critics and be entertained.
If you're a big Watchman fan, you will enjoy the film. If you were expecting a great action comic book film like Batman, you will be very disappointed and bored. It was nice to watch ... but the casting was odd and I only bought half the characters. The sex scenes were just uncomfortable to watch - again partially due to casting and the acting. I'm glad I saw it (although disappointed) , I'll never see it again.
