Never heard the radio show, never saw the show...so I'm not too sure how it compares. Though it was a pretty decent movie, fun to watch...and I really liked the image conscious "nice guy but bad guy" villain. Not a bad origin story, some pretty funny banter between the leads. Cool action scenes, and a fight between the leads that was funny to watch and not quite as one sided as I'd have expected. Cool music, the whole thing felt a little Gotham-esque, and yeah...who wouldn't love the car?
I wasn't actually wanting to see this movie at all...but, I ended up enjoying it.
But seriously, 3d needs work still.

True Grit
Again, never saw the original...actually, I don't think I've ever seen John Wayne film at all, not being a western enthusiast, it's understandable I suppose (although the Shootist had an interesting premise from what I know) but yeah, never have seen him in a film.
I really liked this new version though, it felt authentic enough and well, couldn't find too much fault with anyones acting - as I understand it, this was the girls first big acting job, if so, I'll look forward to seeing her in future, she carried herself VERY well for a kid of her age.
Bridges was solid as always (and FUNNY...could it be? was John Wayne actually FUNNY?:confused: ?), Damon was...different...but good.
The whole thing felt pretty authentic, not that I would know.
The tale was simple, yet I found it enthralling and I enjoyed taking it all in.
I'd recommend it to western enthusiasts (nitpick they may?) and those who haven't seen many alike. It's just a damn solid film regardless of genre.
