Beautifully acted, shot, and directed film about the famous outlaw, the colleague who eventually killed him, and the first murmurings of America's modern culture of celebrity. Of course, it was poor Robert Ford who thought he'd be the celebrity, but as we know, most people today never even heard of him (at least, before this movie came out), while the name of Jesse James lives on and on. What that says about Americans is a topic for a more ambitious piece of writing (a task taken on by several fellow reviewers, if you're interested). In any event, if you love American history, and thoughtful, well-crafted movies that illuminate parts of that history, you can't go wrong with this. Yes, the movie is a shade long, but only a shade. And that shouldn't matter on DVD, when you can simply take a break whenever you want to. Make no mistake, this artful, complex (did Jesse James actually want to be shot?), gorgeous looking movie should not be missed.

I really thought this movie was going to be over the top. I mean it does star Brat Pitt after all. I found the movie to drag along at times, and some of the movie does not follow facts but mostly it does. I think that in the end Robert Ford got what he deserved as he was just as guilty as Jesse in ways. If you really want to experience what Jesse must have been feeling at that point in time I recomment you watch the movie. However, you must be able to sit and pay attention or you will miss something important and be totally lost. The plot played out well in the end and I ended up feeling sorry for Jesse who was doing what he thought was best, even if he was breaking the law. We have to remember the history behind why Jesse and Frank did what they did. Would we have done differently if someone tried to rip our lives away from us?

Well I'm not going to write a book about this rather droll entry into the world of personal entertainment, suffice it to say, this movie stinks. One star was being kind for this drivel.
The characters lacked personality and depth, the story line is weak and you find yourself wishing it would simply end, shoot the guy already as you don't care about any of the characters, their driving force or their ultimate outcome.
I've certainly wasted money on purchases in the past and will so again; hopefully I can save someone who enjoys a good western or decent biographical piece some of their hard earned cash.

Though this film moves at a crawling pace at more than one point, it keeps your interest, even though you know exactly how it ends. I normally despise westerns, but I heard nothing but praise for this film, and especially Casey Affleck, so I put my feelings aside for a while. I really wish it wasn't as long as it was. I understand it was attempting to establish mood, and suspense. It does succeed, for the most part, but truly, if it wasn't for the wonderful performances, it would be an utterly bland snooze-fest.
The feel and look of the film reminds you of a constantly moving photograph, straight from another century. It really is gorgeous. The musical score is virtually the same throughout the entire movie, but it is effective. It sets the perfect mood. It feels ominous and fits seamlessy with this film.
If it wasn't nearly 3 hours long, it would have been a masterfully perfect movie, one that doesn't come around that often. There is not much backstory, except with snippets of voiceover, but it is enough that we know who and what Jesse James was, and what he meant to people, even after his death. The title is long, but fitting.

Beautiful film that is almost like art to watch. Brad Pitt captures the character of a man tormented, ruthless, and even suicidal, but trapped in a legend bigger than any man can bear. Casey Afflack portrays a man who idolizes Jesse, but who in the end comes to hate him and love him at the same time. Violent, but how can it not be? But the violence fits the era and the storyline. Excellent acting, beautiful cinematography, intriguing story.
