i was expecting something better 7.9/10 ... gimme a break ... its not even 5/10...

several inconsistencies and errors regarding ben wade character ...

*a handfull of pathetic wussy ppl try to take ben to the train when they cant even defend themselves...
*and wen ben killed the first person ,,,, just a few punches ?????
is that enough ???? they shud have shot him or break his legs
* and they tied the hand cuffs loosly on the front side soo he cud easily accomplish his plan on running away ,killin everyone

* and the end is total and utter *beep* .... yukh !! i was soo much pissed and at the sametime laughed on how miserable it cud get ...

having a deep connection ( which aint even shown on screen ) b/w himself (ben wade) and dan .... and dodging bullets and killing his own partners for 'DAN' when out of miles no EMOTIONAL CONNECTION is potryed in the movie b/w the two....... just to make 'DAN' a hero infront of his pathetic twat son ..... wat a mess!!!

i actually brought this movie from a cousin cause i wanted to see some geniuine stuff not a movie in which the charecters are placed in a jug to create a milkshake that actaully tastes bad

not in a hundred yrs will i ever think abt watching this again .... its a 'rotten' rating from me...

While I didn't love the film by any means, you're not doing yourself any favors for yourself grammar wise. Hell, you couldn't even spell Desperado right. Dummies doing film reviews. You've gotta love it!

Yuma's likely a little too, how shall I say, articulate for the OP. By that I mean it had spoken words and not spoken explosions ROXXORZZ!

The ending was set up by Wade's actions in the first act and the two speeches in the final act. It made perfect sense.

No more than the original does. It's equally unrealistic.

Maybe it's not the best story to remake. Or maybe it's all about the characters and not the plot holes.

Absolutely. The 1957 one with Van Heflin and Glenn Ford didn't have that annoying son character, that ultra-dumb posse and Glenn Ford doesn't shoot all his gangmembers at the end. He simply helps Heflin to escape unscathed.

The son is an annoying little brat who also frequently has to help his rather dumb father. The character is only created to please a teen audience. Sorry.

So many people just don't get it. The film is superbly written - it makes perfect sense. The whole film is about being a MAN, providing for your family, the choices you take in life. How two similar people (who if not for circumstance could have been friends) could end up taking two different paths, one of good and one of evil.

Wade saw something of himself in Dans boy Will, he totally respected Dan and his way of life - I think Wade had wished he could have run an honest living and life like Dan. He wanted to help Dan reinstate himself as an awesome role model, he realised Dan felt unaccomplished in life and he didn't want Dans boy to go the same route as he did, a route of evil and corruption.

There were so many subtleties in the film that added to the narrative, even from the very first establishing shot of the older boy reading the "Deadly outlaw" book. This in itself is a huge hint to the end of the story, it's about changing the boys path, making sure his obsession with the MYTH isn't fulfilled - making sure the boy chooses the correct path.

I'm sorry it went over your head....

Yeah it seems the OP didn't pat attention to Crowe's character at all throughout the film.

If you were expecting cowboys and Indians then I understand your disapointment. This is a story with complex characters who are a mix of good and bad but with nuanced decisions and histories that complicate our stereotyped visions. Ben Wade is engaged in a complicated dance with Dan from the beginning, initially intrigued by his spunk but then coming to respect him as a man. There are glimpses of Ben Wade's need to connect with the humanity that Dan exemplifies. Ben Wade watched and observed. I now get why he sketches - it is part of a keen ability to observe and record the general and minute, not only the physical but the character issues. Ben listens to every character in the movie and remembers things they have all done and said. He is quick to point out the hypocrisy in all the main characters, however Dan is the only one who remains fast to his morals as he is tested throughout the movie. Dan took the job as a desperate man trying to support his family but then became the "only man who would walk Ben Wade to the train when no one else would". He could have taken Ben Wades' offer of $1000 to let him walk, but instead chose to get the $ by doing the right thing, basically knowing he was going to die while doing it.

Wow I rarely come into these threads and have my mind fully changed, but I have to give the last two posters complete credit for changing my mind about this movie. I just watched it this past weekend and I was going to down it because of the ending but after reading those last two explanations, it actually does make sense that he did that, and more importantly, it's an explanation that makes sense and is hard to refute. Bravo to you two, you have succeeded in changing one opinion about this movie if nothing else from this thread so good job!
