Movie Review: 3:10 To Yuma

2007, a year full of excellent and terrible movies, the excellent movies stand out to be remakes, adoptions, and fresh ideas, the adoptions are 'The Simpsons Movie', 'Transformers' 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' and 'I Am Legend', the fresh idea is 'The Number 23' and the remake is '3:10 to Yuma' which was easily the best movie of the year, and a perfect way to end a year full of successes and struggles.


3:10 to Yuma is a western movie, with a very entertain story about a rancher in desperate need for money, named Dan Evens, but in order to get that money, Dan has to help the law transport a criminal named Ben Wade to a train which will go to a prison in Yuma. My question about the story is if it lived up to what I expected? I'd say it diddent, it surpassed each and every one of them, the story gave us very strong wild-west style action, allot of thrills, many great and strong emotion, and very powerful characters.

Unlike many movies, each and every character has a personality very different from the other, one reason is the cast's performance, I can't think of anyone who did a bad job acting in this movie, but there is still such thing as the best actors in the movie, actors such as Christian Bale or Russell Crowe had some of the best performances anyone has ever seen in a movie, other than that, Logan Lerman proved himself to be an excellent actor, Ben Foster and Dallas Roberts did mind-blowing jobs in the movie, also, the whole cast needs to be thanked for making their characters seem realistic as possible.

The movie had many great thrilling wild-west themed action scenes, throughout most the movie, especially the second half, the action was incredibly realistic, and completely fitted in with the wild-west theme, but I do have to admit that in the first half of the movie the first action scene looked fake, and there where one or two scenes where the action happened randomly.

3:10 to Yuma is easily the best movie of 2007 and one of the best movies of all-time, it fell a bit short on very small arias, but otherwise, 3:10 to Yuma shines out to bring back the Wild West genre, and will forever be known as one of the most appreciated movies of all-time.
