    Hmmm not as good as I expected it to be. It looks great and the cast are very good but its just dull. The beginning and end gun fights are very good but the rest is uneventful. The robbers aren't really that intense and the law are abit too wet haha I have never really liked west...( read more)erns to be honest, they are all very much the same plot wise and this is no different. Its a good film but nothing special, the cast outweighs the movie Im afraid.

    3:10 to Yuma definitely falls into the category of remake I want to see--that of a halfway decent movie that could be better. And the remake definitely gets that ball rolling reasonably fast and exceeds the original, but much like the ending of the original 3:10 to Yuma, all reas...( read more)on seems to dissipate in the last 5 minutes of the movie, despite the changed up ending. Russell Crowe and Christian Bale were both great and James Mangold's direction was as always impeccable. Great cinematography as well. Neither version of 3:10 to Yuma is anything to freak out over but there are worse things to watch at 1 in the morning.

    The best western in fifteen years since Unforgiven. The first great western classic of the twenty first century. Gripping, dazzeling, riveting and absolutely exhilerating. An excellent movie. A great story thats filled with spectacular action, teriffic characters and marvelous ad...( read more)venture. A unique character study. Outstanding, memerising and breathtaking. A masterpiece. An incrediably powerful and unforgettable movie. Russell Crowe and Christian Bale are magnificent. They both deliver powerhouse performances. Their acting is perfect and they never miss a note. Ben Foster and Peter Fonda are teriffic. I dont think theres enough words to describe how great this film really is. It's superb, brilliant, compelling, thrilling and pulse-pounding. An explosive and adreniline-pumping action-packed adventure. Director, James Mangold continues to dominate every genre he tackels, that makes him a truly masterful filmmaker of outstanding talent. An awsome way to re-introduce us back to this old, weary genre with his unique style. An instant classic.

    I just couldnt get into this movie at all.The ending was crap.
  • October 27, 2009
    Finally, a really good western. Russell Crowe is awesome

    Officially on my list of favourite westerns now. I honestly didn't know what to expect with this movie and didn't have the highest of expectations, and I have to say, I was definitely blown away. Couldn't help but love the detail in weapons and costumes. It definitely made me wan...( read more)t to go around in a cowboy hat, shooting up the furniture with a pellet gun. The acting was superb, and the cinematography was also fantastic. Whether you like westerns or not, I definitely recommend this.

    First, I don't like westerns. I'm sorry... but it's not really my catagory. However, THIS movie, had a very exciting storyline, it was a great drama, and you're not exactly sure how it will end. This movie deserves to be noticed.

Critic Reviews


September 14, 2007
Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times

New Zealand's Russell Crowe and Britain's Christian Bale, donning the hats and accents to play outlaw and escort with grizzled assurance. full review

September 10, 2007
David Edelstein, New York Magazine

The editing is tense and there's mucho splatter but the climax is unforgivable for reasons I can't spell out -- and owes something to a recent picture I can't name. full review

September 7, 2007
Claudia Puig, USA Today

3:10 to Yuma is a drama well worth the journey. full review

September 7, 2007
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

[Director] Mangold succeeds on his own terms, largely because the actors he's working with here, Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, so comfortably inhabit the movie, and the genre that cradles it. full review

September 7, 2007
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

James Mangold's 3:10 to Yuma restores the wounded heart of the Western and rescues it from the morass of pointless violence. full review

September 7, 2007
Pete Hammond, Maxim

Big screen entertainment that rides right next to the great ones, a blazing action-packed film that reminds you what first-rate storytelling and filmmaking is all about. full review

September 7, 2007
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Russell Crowe and Christian Bale are the main reasons to see 3:10 to Yuma, a serviceable addition to the current western revival.

September 6, 2007
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

One of the great pleasures of westerns is the showcase they offer for character actors, and 3:10 to Yuma has a pair of aces. full review

September 5, 2007
Armond White, The New York Press

3:10 to Yuma rehashes western motifs -- those civilization/wilderness, essence of manhood themes -- but builds up to a poorly plotted, shoddily executed gun battle. full review

September 5, 2007
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Maybe this redo didn't need so many bells and whistles, but Mangold brings it home. full review

    "There Gonna Hang Me In The Morning.." This film has the true essence of a classic western. I haven't seen the original film as this one is the remake,but I can tell you I loved this modern western.The chemistry between Russel and Christian were astounding. I am not a big fan of Crowe but this film he played the villain very well and I think over the years his acting has improved. The whole rest of the cast fit in well to the picture and setting of this film. Ben Foster who had a small role as the angel in "X-Men The Last Stand" did a great job playing the ruthless heart-less bad guy. I def would watch this movie again and again. 4 stars

    This is the best western made in a very long time. Crowe and Bale were amazing. A movie you can watch over and over. This movie will become a classic.
