Is anyone else anticipating this movie? I really am, I just hope I don't build it up too high.

Texanna and I saw it today.  Well worth the $5 per senior ticket rate.  Beautiful scenery (Canadian again - don't they make western movies in the US of A any more?).  Has one hellacious gunfight at the end that is, in itself, worth the admission.  Robert Duvall is definitely showing his age (not as spry and animated as in Lonesome Dove), but gives a good performance.  Kevin Costner (who also directed the film) was believable (I thought) and did a creditable job.  I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who grew up on and still enjoys westerns.

"Open Range" may be the best western movie that I have ever seen!  Very impressed with the story, the photography, the excellent acting, the dialogue, clothes, guns, the gunfight scene is probably the best depiction of a true confrontation ever attempted.

Move over "Tombstone" and "Quigley Down Under" there is a new SASS favorite on the screen.....

my wife took me ta see "open range" but i can't figure out why--she did not like it-well duh-that was not a surprise. she said she liked the plot, what that means is a mystery.
i was veery impressed with tha movie and i could not really find any holes in it. i hate movies with so many holes it makes the movie unbelievable. knew goin in the cast was good but was impressed with cosner more than i thought i would be--his voice pattern and dialect left me somewhat frustrated in silverado but not in this one, although i was kind of expecting it to.
story line was very believable-followed a course that i could imagine as being real. scenery was very good, photography was great. the movie was not overly dramatic and coversations were well written, i especially appreciated the conversations-tha dialogue--they were not filled with a lot of hype or "cute sayings" or "cute words" if ya get my drift---and if ya don't i can't find the words to put a picture on my feelings.
pretty real picture.
