I would normally be frustrated by that type of behavior, but I felt his pain....we all did. Later, people in audience started shuffling themselves in their seats. 20 mins later a couple walked out. Then 10 mins more another couple walked out....then another couple.....then a group.....finally after being tortured for an hour....I couldn't take it any more. I couldn't negotiate to myself that the movie was getting any better...I walked out of this long boring movie, it was like paying money to watch old men play chess for 8 hours! I got my money back. The ticket person, didn't seem surprised. Was this review helpful?

Also if the same lame violin music throughout the entire movie was removed, and the dull narrator was recast. We sat through an hour and a half of this movie and then realized we had another hour to go, couldn't hack it, had to fast forward.
Jesse James should be interesting, have action, this movie had alot going for it and the Artsy people love it.
+++ Beautiful Scenery, Good Acting,
_ _ _ Way too long, Way too slow, it's making me sleepy, get to the point already, enough of the cheesy violin music, narrator is so dull. Was this review helpful?

It is, however, a movie for those who have the courage and wisdom to try to put themselves in the position of Robert Ford.
Jessie James was a paranoid murderer who was thought of as a hero by the local inhabitants because of a few acts of generosity and because he was surrogate outlet for the anger that many had against, you name it, the government, the railroad, or just the hardships of prarie life. This is a major point of the film. Jessie James himself shot others in the back, at least in the film. Yet, at the end, he is thought of as a hero by many. The threat he felt by one who he murdered, shooting the victim in the back, was mostly a product of his paronoia. The threat to Robert Ford was real and he knew it.
Many will say that Robert Ford could have handled the situation differently. He and his brother could have got the drop on Jessie, tied him up and turned him into the authorities. However, this would have meant taking him through a large territory highly sympathetic to Jessie. They also could have escaped and told the authorites Jame's whereabouts but, Jessie had already had forewarned them not to leave to go anywhere without his permission. If they had left to find the authorities, Jessie certainly would not have waited around in the same place waiting to be arrested. Moreover, given Jessie's history, he would have hunted the Ford brothers down and killed them, probably by shooting them in the back.
In short, this is the kind of dilema that begs the question, what would you do if you were Robert Ford? Personally, I hope I would have handled the situation differently and pretty sure I would have especially in the aftermath but, if I had bought into the super human myth that was Jessie James as dipicted by many of the dime store novels as Robert Ford did, who knows?

Boring people find anything lacking tits and explosions boring. If you want stop thinking for 90 minutes (assuming you ever started), go watch crazy zombies from the North Pole in "30 days of Naught". If you want acting, plot and some insight into the human condition, watch this movie. Was this review helpful?

Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful Jesse JamesPosted: 10/14/2007A review of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford by Anonymous About as interesting and as much fun as watching ice melt. So slow paced that my male date actually fell asleep 3 times and started snoring!!!! Even Brad Pitt couldn't save this movie. Ben's brother turned in a pretty poor performance. Can't he take some voice lessons to improve his voice? Pretty scenery though. Was this review helpful?

If there are some people who appreciate a real piece of art movie then they will love Jesse James. This movie tells you a fascinating story from not very happy times of American history and the acting is extraordinary. Not even mention that Brad Pitt is not just a cute face but becoming a mature outstanding actor. The only downside was that I spent in the movie theater almost 3 hrs so get ready for it. However, it was well worth it. Great job.
People who eat junk and watch junk will be bored. Those who know how to life, love the beauty of art and appreciate the true values will be thrilled. Was this review helpful?

Can't understand why the critics rate it so high, but I've noticed they have certain favorite actors and actresses they seem to give better ratings to regardless of the movie. Anyway, not worth the time. If you haven't seen 3:10 to Yuma or The Brave One definitely spend your money on one of them-not The Assassination, etc., etc., etc. Was this review helpful?

Just cause BP is the star does not make the movie any better. Save your money, rent something. Was this review helpful? Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful The WorstPosted: 9/20/2007A review of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford by netbop0 I've had more fun watching paint dry. If you like to squirm around in your seat and feel like your life is slowly, and I mean slowly, passing before your eyes, then this is the movie for you. Snails move faster then this film does. Good acting and possibly a break out role for Casey Affleck. That is if you can understand his mumbling. Beautifully photographed, but c'mon, a film is supposed to be moving pictures! If you like westerns, go see 3:10 to Yuma. At least that had some excitement, even if had more plausibility problems then Ryan Seacrest trying to prove he's not gay. Was this review helpful?
