My copy finally arrived in the mail today. Anyone else get this? I really feel it was one of the best films of 2007. Certainly one of the best "mythic" type Westerns seen since Silverado.

Can't wait to check out the commentary. With a cast like this, there are sure to be some interesting stories. [Cool]

I'm looking forward to watching it now that it's out (I meant to see it in the theater but spaced it off), but I almost never buy DVDs.

I'll definitely be buying this one. Christian Bale is one of my favorite actors.

I should get it for my dad. He wanted to see it but never made it to the theatre.

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Hmmm. Anyone have problems with their copy?

Mine kept halting and skipping. I've had to return it.

We watched it last night - I loved it. I thought it was everything a good Western should be, and Russell Crowe and Christian Bale were great together. I definitely recommend this one.

It was my favorite movie of the year until I saw No Country for Old Men. I don't think I'll buy it, but I'll rent it for the commentary. No Country, I'm definitely buying.

I made the decision to see 3:10 when I heard Russel Crowe say the line: ""They're coming. As sure as God's (vengeance), they're coming." That sealed it.

Plus it has Wash in it.

Edit: changed "wrath" to "vengeance."

Im glad you said "since Silverado." That is my favorite Western movie and yet whenever i brin git up in conversation no one knows it. oh yeah, 3:10 to Yuma was a good flick too, though i felt it was too goody goody at the end. he [Russell Crowe] could have easily of went with his gang. Still a good movie though.

Could he? I think they did a good job establishing that "Ben Wade" had a lot of contempt for his gang. Contempt, disgust, and being obviously weary of handling them.
