All the reviews said it was the reinvention of the western, despite the fact it's a remake. Whenever they release a western these days, don't they say it's the reinvention of the western? Anyways, I was suckered in and the Queen suffered.
For a big time shoot-em up, there were a lot of sitting around the campfire bonding moments between Christian Bale and Russel Crowe. Slow talky occasionally interrupted by illogical gunplay. Why is Russel Crowe running away with Bale. OH! The script called for it.
Actually, the whole film struck me as an excuse for the western stuntmen to get together, ride around and set off squibs. There were some great action sequences, but they just seem to go on and on with no real point. Much like Drum solos.
