I finally got around to seeing "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford". What an incredibly boring piece of crap. I can't believe this movie got a 7.7 on IMDB. I would only recommend this movie to those who are having sleeping issues.I also watched "American Gangster" recently. This was a much better movie than The Assassination of Jesse James. I wonder how much of it was really true and how much was added for dramatic effect.
I absolutely loved "Assassination of JJ by TCRF"If a good movie needs to be exciting or action packed throughout to you, I feel bad for you.Everything about it was great. The acting, storyline, cinematography, lighting, mood, etc. It had every element of a movie you could ask for. It has a lot of subtleties that to your average watcher might not click, but I thought everything in this movie was fantastic.Maybe you expected a shoot 'em up western, but this is a psychological western that, IMO, is a masterpiece. Pitt, in 1 of his best performances, got robbed of an Oscar nod. Throughout the movie, he was almost at the same time, your best friend, and your most menacing enemy. Most actors couldnt pull off what he did in this movieI feel bad for you that you didnt enjoy it, because its a great piece of filmmaking
