Warning: This movie is extremely long and boring. Just letting you know so you don't waste your money like me.

Brilliant! Pitt is solid, Affleck even better. Cinematic, articitic, intelligent, compelling... Pace questionable at times.

Excellent acting.Don't expect shoot outs. Great story.

An amazing breath-taking piece of cinema. Do not expect a shoot-em-up western, rather a moving portrait of the year leading up to the death of Jesse James. The movie is excellent at portraying Jesse as both a herioc icon, and a deranged murderer at the same time. Performances by Brad Pitt and Casey Afleck are well beyond their percevied talents. I really enjoyed this movie, however not everyone will enjoy it. It is slow moving and not an action.

Those of you who fell asleep don't know acting when you see it. I guess you want all blood and gore and the computer to do all the work.

Excellent movie.Acting at it's best. I got so into it. Pitt did an amazing job and Affleck will get an Oscar.

bad. well written i suppose, but one WOULD expect some kind of action, more than the one train robbery at the beginning. dragged on way too long. don't expect a typical western, expect a long drawn out story of a depressed and deranged jesse james and an irritating character in rob ford. love it or hate it i guess, we chose the latter.

I can't believe people found this entertaining. I found it dragged in so many places and found better renditions of this story in docudramas.

Haha. Exactly. Go in with the expection that youre gonna get a peek in on the life of Jesse James, in the time leading up to his death. Even heros die when they get shot. This isnt a hollywood western. It a hollywood attempted recreation
