Movie Reviews of 3:10 to Yuma (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: A Terrorific Morality Play
Summary: 4 Stars
James Mangold uses the west as his prop, not to make a silly western, but, rather, to make a character study.
There are many characters worth following and analyzing. Some are developed better than others. The four that stand out as most deserving of the audiences attention are Dan Evans, a rancher down on his luck, with one leg, and representing the past as he resists the coming railroads; Ben Wade, the intelligent and sadistic leader of a ruthless gang; William Evans, son of Dan, dissapointed at his fathers mediocrity and a worshiper of Ben Wades' legend and no bs attitude; finally, Charles Prince, the evil second hand of the Wade gang, who has a little too much affection for Mr. Wade.
Ultimately, these four characters and their intertwined journeys make this movie the high quality, entertaining flick that it is. Dan and Ben are natural enemies. Dan is an old school moralist, with uncompromising principles. Ben is a hobbesian, taking what he wants and destroying anything that gets in his way. Yet, Wade is too intelligent and multifaceted to be pinned down into the cliched killer--Prince handles this role just fine. Ben shows signs of wishing for a family, wishing for something larger and more honorable than himself to believe in. While Dan for all of his moralistic bombast sees the fearlessness of Wade and wishes to imitate his kinetic energy and courage, even if this means turning into a killer. William, who is just 14, seems torn between respect for Ben Wade and love for his father.
As these characters interact with each other, the hammer molds a beautiful frame off the anvil.
Dan takes a job as a hired man to take Wade to the 3:10 train to Yuma, where Wade will be hung. Wade obviously wishes not to meet his fate in Yuma, nor does his gang. Charles Prince, with his homoerotic obsession for Wade, will do anything to stop the transfer. In the end, we find out that whether or not Wade gets on the train is irrelevant, but it does make for a shockingly thought provoking western.
Take heed, and watch slowly.
Movie Review: 3-10 to yuma

thank you l found this movie to be very good quality hope to do business with you againMovie Review: Stands With the Original
Summary: 4 Stars
Each version of "3:10 To Yuma," brings something different enough so that they are able to co-exist. I don't believe one is better than the other. The last time this happened for me was "The Bounty" with Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins compared to "Mutiny on the Bounty" with Clark Gable and Charles Laughton. Forget the Brando/Howard version.
Christian Bale is showing himself more and more to be an actor of terrific substance. If you like the Glenn Ford/Van Heflin "3:10 to Yuma," as I do, don't let it keep you from watching this version.
Movie Review: Incredible!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a masterpiece! I actually just saw the original and this is much better. Christian Bale is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. Russell Crow aka Gladiator-nuff said. If you haven't seen this movie, WATCH NOW?Movie Review: a good western for those that don't like westerns..
Summary: 3 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised watching this film- yes, it is a "western", but the characters are so well-written it's really a character study of the two main characters in the film, as they battle wits against each other.
The focis stays on the characters and not so much on the action, although there is action also.
The ending leaves the door open for a sequel, which would be welcomed.
