Summary: Desperate times, it's been said, call for desperate measures. In 3:10 To Yuma, rancher Dan Evans (Christian Bale), a Civil War veteran, faces a desperate situation. He's behind on his ranch payments, and the land owner is trying to evict the Evans ...

Pros: Crowe and Bale were great together
Cons: The ending
Summary: 3:10 to Yuma is actually a remake of the 1957 Western starring Glenn Ford. This new movie stars Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. It is directed by James Mangold, who previously made the excellent Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line. I have ...

Pros: Great acting, fast paced action, very good plot.
Cons: A few scenes a little too Hollywood.
Summary: I’ve been pretty lax in writing reviews for some of the movies I’ve recently seen. I’ve got a partially done Bourne Ultimatum and a few others even older. It seemed like a good idea to get this one finished before the memory of the movie ...

Pros: Classic western
Cons: None
Summary: At two hours running time, 3:10 to Yuma is an efficient western movie. Simple story. Highly suspenseful. Good acting. Great character development. Never boring. Ingredients that are a throw back to old school movie making. Simple story: Outlaw ...

Pros: Entertaining, Great performances, Loved the ending
Cons: A little unbelievable at times, forgiveably so however. Some lame dialogue.
Summary: I walked out with a smile across my face, thinking something like "welcome back westerns, welcome back." This is a movie that's totally worthy of being the first of several movies that should all bring back the western in style. It's old school, but ...

Cons: None
Summary: THE 3:10 TO YUMA IS ON TRACK: This summer’s effective re-make by director James Mangold of the 1957 western 3:10 to Yuma is proof positive that the modern Western genre has found its classic Western footing. That’s ...

Pros: Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. It's a western.
Cons: Script, cinematography, and direction.
Summary: 3:10. It’s the time the train to Yuma Prison arrives in Contention. The air is silent. The men are still. The guns are cocked. The clock is ticking. Praying won’t stop time. 3:10 is coming. Death may be coming with it. 3:10 To Yuma is remake of the ...

Pros: Mangold's Direction, Script, Location, Cinematography, Editing, Score, & Cast, notably Crowe & Bale.
Cons: An Underused Gretchen Mol & Ending
Summary: In 1957 when the westerns was still a popular genre both on television and film, a little film called 3:10 to Yuma about a rancher trying to take a criminal on a train to prison was a hit with fans of the genre. Though it wasn't a largely ...

Pros: Fantastic story, superb performances, great cinematography, gripping script, awesome action
Cons: None.
Summary: I'm utterly disappointed with the current box office status of 3:10 to Yuma. Racking in only around five million dollars for Friday night, I'm almost positive this flicks income will not exceed its production budget of fifty five million. It's ...

Pros: Entertainment at its best, just sit down and lose yourself in the story.
Cons: Someone had to die.
Summary: I believe westerns are America’s answer to Europe’s tales of white knights and chargers. I have never been able to resist a good fairy tale or a good western. This is one of the best westerns I have seen in years. Director James Mangold can be ...

Pros: nice cinematography, Bale and Crowe are good
Cons: Preposterous, terrible conclusion
Summary: A little while back I asked the question how can a movie starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale be bad. After one screening of "3:10 to Yuma", now I know. This is one movie that completely derails after it gets going. A masterpiece this is not. An ...

Pros: Great acting, script and direction
Cons: None
Summary: As I've recently written, most of the time I don't like the re-makes of films. The Halloween fiasco from just last week is a perfect example. The new version was a shallow copy of the original. The new "3:10" to Yuma is an exception to the rule when ...

Sep 07 '07
Pros: Many fine aspects.
Cons: An ending which was a bit off-center.
Summary: 3:10 to Yuma is certainly the best Western to come out of Hollywood in 2007, and probably for the last several years. It is a narrow little tale of the Old West, but do not be dissuaded by the smallness of the story, for it is one of which may be ...

Pros: acting, script
Cons: ending
Summary: 3:10 to Yuma is a good western film that has almost everything going for it. It has a good yet typical western plot, great acting, and a good script. Its only failing point is the ending which neither I nor anyone else I saw the movie with cared for. ...

Pros: Great acting performances
exceptional visuals/camera work
a story with many twist and turns
Cons: none
Summary: 3:10 to Yuma starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale is a remake of a 1957 cowboy movie starring Glenn Ford and Van Heflin. The basic premise is the same, but the films themselves are VERY different. This new release features an incredible cast and ...
