Awesome Western.

Yuma is pretty much the only western I've ever seen.
That said, I loved it.
Bale is his usual excellent self.
Crowe is the bad guy you love to hate.
The directing, acting, script, pretty much everything is top shelf.
A lot of action keeps things interesting.
I can't really say anything bad about this movie.
Can anyone recommend other western's that are this good???
I recommend Yuma for everyone who's tired of the same old same old from Hollywood.
Definitely worth checking out.

Best Ever Modern Western !

I have read a couple of reviews here slamming this movie. Can't think why. Each to his own I suppose, but if you haven't seen this film and are contemplating buying it, do so! For those of you who loved this film in theaters, buy the blu ray and sit back for the same exciting action and superb look in your own living room.

Warning: some spoilers, but none terribly revealing

Russell Crowe is superb as Ben Wade, a famous outlaw featured in the dime westerns of his times. He and his murderous gang wreak havoc until he is finally caught. A crippled former civil war soldier, desperate for money to save his failing ranch, signs on as a volunteer to help escort Wade to the prison train arriving at 3:10 in Yuma. (hence the title of the film) As the clock ticks,the suspense grows, keeping you on the edge of your seat right until the very end. This one isn't easy to predict, which makes watching it so enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Unusual pace and plot; unexpected narrative

My viewing was spoilt by the DVD going into annoying segments of blank video with the audio running. Several false starts and disc cleaning later, I managed to see the movie. Amazon needs to check on the rest of the DVDs in its stock if only spare any one else buying it now.

Interesting movie; unusual western which keeps up the pace even if it comes near the point of getting bogged down. In the end, a satisfying movie. Masterful performance by Crowe and Bale.

Great Western

I loved the movie. Everything about it was enjoyable: the scenery, the acting (WOW. Bale and Crowe are great together, awesome chemistry), the plot and YES, the infamous ending. It was suspenseful, I cared about even the minor characters, and I understood the motives throughout the movie. Great action and gunplay.
Yes, there are plotholes. But every movie has them, and I was so caught up while watching it that I just didn't care. I'm not one to pick apart a movie anyway, unless it's an arthouse film. I think it's a great way to spend two hours, and if you love it like I did, you'll watch it again and again and recommend it to your friends.
It has lots to say about the measure of a man, who we are when no one is watching, God, redemption, and the human heart. I won't bother with a summary as so many others have already done that.
Just watch it. If you enjoy good action, good chemistry between co stars, exploring relationships, and a man's need to be a hero, plus suspense and good old fashioned shoot em ups, I think you'll at least like, if not love it !
