After that stupid decision about which is the better movie....lets hope that after he walks off into the sunset, we don't see the Nostalgia Critic again until many years later when we find his grave and never know what happened to him.......
@ImAnnietoo Yet another jealouse John Wayne fanboy. It's just an opinion dude, which critic has made abundantly clear throughout this vid so grow up and get over it.
Personally i think there is no compariosn. The Coen film is just better period, the John Wayne film was just standard hollywood bullshit of the time.
@MrBearking88 Sure thing dude, if you consider better acting, different scenes, one or two added characters(the bear skin guy) and a completely different ending that is more faithful to the book the same film then I geuss pigs can rightfully fly as well. Seems like your comment is just another "sackless way" of denying the obviouse.
The bear guy was just some guy who lives on his own and can clearly hunt well and had a knowledge for medicine when in the movie he offered some to the main characters. He's not a main character he was just representing what he was and he wasn't the only one. Back in the Old West there were guys like him who live alone and were able to take care of themselves by living off the land. The bear guy lived off by hunting and trading with travelers with what he had, animal skins and other items.
@LeisureSuitRantFiend The Critic forgot to put in "The Outlaw Josey Wales," and "Open Range," at the beginning of the video. Those were some pretty damn good western movies too.
Rooster Cogber? What kind of name is that for a cowboy mercenary? What kind of name is that for a PERSON? It sounds like it should be the name of that character in "Rock a Doodle."
I honestly loved both movies. I liked having the traditional, "everything was fine ride into the sunset moment" as well as the darker more complex tone the problem for me with the newer one was that song. The leaning on the everlasting arm song. I was humming it everytime it came up and then when the reveal with her arm came out I didn't know whether to laugh at the slightly dark humor or cringe because the song felt in slightly poor taste given my love of the character.
Yea I have seen both and NC does have very good points also I wanted to point out out the actual age difference from the two Mattie's in the 1969 version the actor is actually 22 years old bet half of you probably didn't know and in the remake I bet she's closer to the age of what she is supposed to be in the movie just wanted to point that our for fun
another thing about the remake of Mattie, i liked her because she was so damn intimidating. if she had something to say then Godammit she was saying and it was going to be heard whether that sappy drunkard wanted to hear it or not. of anyone for that matter. My father's favorite part was when she walked back to the Banker and asked to buy one of the ponies she just stole. At that point the old man was all like "wait ... we're not trading again are we?" and that cracked us both up.
@alifelesscritic I don't know, whatever they want to make a movie about. My point was that the two movies that they did together (The Big Lebowski and True Grit) were really good, at least I thought they were very good, and I would like to see them collaborate more often. The whole 'world being a better place' comment was just an exaggeration. May I ask what is the big deal? Why do I need to think of a storyline for a movie before I post a comment on a video on Youtube?
I will admit that I love Jeff Bridges and I love John Wayne even more. But, I found that I favored the newer remake even though the old one is a classic.
I have the same feelings on these films. When I proclaim to others why I love the new film and still like the original, I simplify it by telling them that the original is a great John Wayne flick and the new one is an all-around great film.
I agree, I just watched the Old Version and I found it was not well cut and paced at many moments and it just gets boring after a bit. The new one is shorter but seems more detailed and exciting :D
@ServantOfPuppets it's not in keeping with the character.the fuck is he NOSTALGIA critic if he is NOT nostalgic ?! (ps. i don't give two shits about what DOUG thinks !! Doug didn't review "turtles forever" AS THE CRITIC because he LIKED that movie - so what the fuck is he doing HERE ? he obviously LIKES both (!) versions of "true grit" yet prefers the NEW one. WTF .long story short- he fucked up.NO doubt.)
@alifelesscritic Dude, just don't take it too seriously. It's for comedy, and if you don't like his opinion you don't have to agree. Just go "oh well", fuck it, move on, eat some cookies, watch more videos :D
@alifelesscritic The nostalgia critic' opinions are exaggerations of Doug's opinions. You have no right to criticize someone for stating their opinion. If you really don't care what doug thinks then don't watch his videos.
@Reaper00140 baby...! no need to like the actor to enjoy a role. note that i am also BEING a critic here ! have you READ my arguments or are you JUST being a fanboy ? you guys are truly pathetic if you can not tell how "serious" i am being... : /
@alifelesscritic I don't have anything to apologize for. If anyone here is the asshole, it's you for being so completely unreasonable. You say he has no right to prefer the new version. Following this logic, he should love every old movie he gets but in almost all of his reviews, he picks old movies he specifically hates. The Old vs New segments are when he compares the pros and cons as HE sees them not as how you want him to see them. The NC is simply his mouthpiece to express said opinions.
@Reaper00140 my point is : i was being over -the- top "asshole" for COMEDIC effect ...JUST like ....him .... i had GOOOOD intentions! n YOU hurt MY FEELINGS so YOU are THE asshole. < :_ (
@alifelesscritic Okay...Now that that's been made clear...I apologize. To be fair, however, it's hard to pick up on jokes like that when they're in text form.
I saw the original film, read the book, then saw the remake. The remake is SO closer to the book. In the book, Mattie really is that strong, determined, and stubborn. She takes after her father. The fact that he hired her as bookkeeper when she was still a girl speaks to that, girls weren't employed as bookkeeppers back then. In the book, she did became man of the family because she is much more mature than her mother. It explains her story better and I think the new version totally got that.
Hmmm John Wayne looks like my grandpa, who is a rancher. So I find the old one to be more of a cowboy, Jeff Bridges looks like a mix between a cowboy, Jesus, and a pirate from the Caribbean.
@tricksterhuaun The beard is more like Santa... but I was thinking of Jesus because he has a long face(and a similar haircut)- Santa's is Round. And the eye patch is somehow more emphasized in the newer version- but that wasn't my main point. The long wispy locks and the black outfit doesn't really scream cowboy at me. But I think the main reason I was thinking POTC was the lighting and the way the movie seems to have been shot. Maybe it's just the modern way of doing things...
@vscott39 the random guy is the dud from the big lebowski. and leisuresuitrantfiend and the nostalgia critic aren't the same person. in fact I'm not sure if they even know each other. all fiend does is upload his videos in HD.
You look back over Jeff Brides career starting with something like "Last Picture Show" and you almost have to think that he was born to play this role, it was just waiting for him to get old enough to do it.
What I'm curious about is which version was closer to the source material? I didn't know True Grit was based on a novel, and I guess the better story could be the one the follows closest to the book.
Also you really should include the soundtrack on these versus videos.
@MegamanNG First off the original True Grit was composed by the great Elmer Bernstein, and the theme song is awesome. It fits perfectly for an epic western of the period reminescient of films like the Magnificient Seven. The Cohen's version is composed by Carter Burwell, and has a completely different feel. Now while I believe both versions fit the films for which they were made the Bernstein version works best as a sndtrack you can just listen to on it's own.
@NelsonStJames I read the book recently and the Coen version stick's to it the best, not 100% accurate(like most films adapted from books) but damn close.
@tooNoob4TV Which one The Thing (1982) vs The Thing From Another World or The Thing (1982) vs The Thing (2011).......even though The Thing (2011) is not a remake its a prequel.
Much like the Batman or Lord of the Rings movies, my feeling with this one is that I like the newer version more. Not because the old was bad or anything, but because the newer version improved on a lot. It was almost as if they watched the old version, took notes on what they did right, and then added their own little twist or went an extra step. And that applies to Nolan, Jackson and the Coens.
I love how in the Coen version, they really approach how Mattie is not only a woman in a man's world, but also a kid in a grown up's world. The scene where she is negotiating with the salesman is a perfect example.
@billruller yep but thats fine most people dont even know or remember the first film ! it was suprising to see a sequel especially this late and by disney as well wow ! also i never saw the first one or the newer one though .
@nanalinda4 same, I didn't see the first one. But my dad did, and he loved it. I watched clips of it, and it looks pretty cool. I watched the sequal, and it was amazing. idk why it has bad reviews, they should watch it again. I think the first one is worth watching, and the new one...you just gotta see it. It is epic.
@billruller I prefer the new to the original...but that maybe because the effects are 10 times better than the in the 80s. Never really saw the original tho...
@ECL28E true, but still. The original is good. I mean it's the 80's, and the effects were done pretty well. But if the category is "Special Effects", of course the New one will win, it looks great. But what about Story, Villian, & Main Character? Thats lil difficult to combine and choose. Films are more to watch the plot & characters, not just how great it looks by the effects. Its kinda like NC's Old vs New: King Kong. The original Tron is really cool, check it out.
@mrdropkicker1 Thats a good one. But tbh, I'm not thinking about seeing the remake till it hits televsion. I mean they screwed up Clash of the Titans remake. Also, original Conan the Barbarion is Arnold's most popular and awesome films he did. So, if Doug is gonna do Old vs New of Conan the Barbarion, that will be very exciting. As for me, I would side with the old.
just to point out in the old version john wayne has is eye on his left eye while in the new version jeff bridges has his on his right eye.. i guess it doesn't really matter or having any meaning but still i wonder why?!
I disagree with every point he made, and believe me, that hasn't happened in a review or an old vs new. I can understand why he chose The Dude instead of the Duke, don't agree but that's ok. But choosing the almost one dimensional hate filled Mattie over the more realistic aware enough to be scared Mattie? That's just odd to me. But my main differing viewpoint, the leader of the villains, the remake had a scary good outlaw, while robert duvall seemed more like an antihero.
@XXCreed The Duke was good but just good while for me The Dude felt more like the character from the book, similiar point w/ Mattie too, I would assumed the original would had been the stronger way to portray her but I can agrue w/ the finished film & find the newer actress more interesting. & for the villians I like how visually he villian looked (like for he's described in the book) but Robert Duvall played him better, I kinda like the antihero way of playing it, he seemed more interesting.
oh man love old true grit more but i did like new true grit but in opinion you cant replace john wayne when i saw the commercial i said son of a bitch because i hate remakes but this was better then i aspected
I noticed about a lot of Oscar movies these days how empty or sad they make people feel afterwards. Once in a while it's okay, but does it really hurt a movie if there's a fulfilling, happy ending? Too often do I walk out of films with "bittersweet" endings that just depress the shit out of me. Okay, some movies can call for it, but I'm tired of it now. I go to the movies for a good time.
'How to Train Your Dragon' was our favourite movie last year because we actually walked out smiling.
Did the remake come out in January for some places? Cause where I live, I remember seeing it a few days before christmas in 2010. That being said, why does Critic keep referring to the remake as the "2011 Version"?
@40Pacino That's a good question. Maybe it's when he saw it or something. I remember seeing it just before heading back off to school in January (literally; my luggage was in the van and my father and I hit the highway right after the movie).

@tooNoob4TV Which one The Thing (1982) vs The Thing From Another World or The Thing (1982) vs The Thing (2011).......even though The Thing (2011) is not a remake its a prequel.

Much like the Batman or Lord of the Rings movies, my feeling with this one is that I like the newer version more. Not because the old was bad or anything, but because the newer version improved on a lot. It was almost as if they watched the old version, took notes on what they did right, and then added their own little twist or went an extra step. And that applies to Nolan, Jackson and the Coens.

@40Pacino actually that should be a staple to make a remake

I love how in the Coen version, they really approach how Mattie is not only a woman in a man's world, but also a kid in a grown up's world. The scene where she is negotiating with the salesman is a perfect example.

For those who say that they should do old vs new on tron, let me remind all of you that Tron Legacy was a continuation of the 1st Tron, not a remake.

@billruller yep but thats fine most people dont even know or remember the first film ! it was suprising to see a sequel especially this late and by disney as well wow ! also i never saw the first one or the newer one though .
nanalinda4 5 months ago
@nanalinda4 same, I didn't see the first one. But my dad did, and he loved it. I watched clips of it, and it looks pretty cool. I watched the sequal, and it was amazing. idk why it has bad reviews, they should watch it again. I think the first one is worth watching, and the new one...you just gotta see it. It is epic.

@billruller I prefer the new to the original...but that maybe because the effects are 10 times better than the in the 80s. Never really saw the original tho...
ECL28E 5 months ago
@ECL28E true, but still. The original is good. I mean it's the 80's, and the effects were done pretty well. But if the category is "Special Effects", of course the New one will win, it looks great. But what about Story, Villian, & Main Character? Thats lil difficult to combine and choose. Films are more to watch the plot & characters, not just how great it looks by the effects. Its kinda like NC's Old vs New: King Kong. The original Tron is really cool, check it out.

@billruller Old vs. New Conan the Barbarian
mrdropkicker1 5 months ago
@mrdropkicker1 Thats a good one. But tbh, I'm not thinking about seeing the remake till it hits televsion. I mean they screwed up Clash of the Titans remake. Also, original Conan the Barbarion is Arnold's most popular and awesome films he did. So, if Doug is gonna do Old vs New of Conan the Barbarion, that will be very exciting. As for me, I would side with the old.

My choices
Best Mattie = Kim Darby (As long as she had longer hair)
Best Cogburn = Bridges (Maybe with a background story)
Best Supporting Cast = Tie (I guess)
Best Villains = Tie (I guess)
Best Story = 1969 ( With a lill bit of darkness)

Visuals (2010) > (!969)
Music (2010) = Music (1969)
(1969) = (2010)

I disagree with every point he made, and believe me, that hasn't happened in a review or an old vs new. I can understand why he chose The Dude instead of the Duke, don't agree but that's ok. But choosing the almost one dimensional hate filled Mattie over the more realistic aware enough to be scared Mattie? That's just odd to me. But my main differing viewpoint, the leader of the villains, the remake had a scary good outlaw, while robert duvall seemed more like an antihero.
XXCreed 6 months ago
@XXCreed The Duke was good but just good while for me The Dude felt more like the character from the book, similiar point w/ Mattie too, I would assumed the original would had been the stronger way to portray her but I can agrue w/ the finished film & find the newer actress more interesting. & for the villians I like how visually he villian looked (like for he's described in the book) but Robert Duvall played him better, I kinda like the antihero way of playing it, he seemed more interesting.

I noticed about a lot of Oscar movies these days how empty or sad they make people feel afterwards. Once in a while it's okay, but does it really hurt a movie if there's a fulfilling, happy ending? Too often do I walk out of films with "bittersweet" endings that just depress the shit out of me. Okay, some movies can call for it, but I'm tired of it now. I go to the movies for a good time.
'How to Train Your Dragon' was our favourite movie last year because we actually walked out smiling.

Did the remake come out in January for some places? Cause where I live, I remember seeing it a few days before christmas in 2010. That being said, why does Critic keep referring to the remake as the "2011 Version"?
40Pacino 6 months ago
@40Pacino That's a good question. Maybe it's when he saw it or something. I remember seeing it just before heading back off to school in January (literally; my luggage was in the van and my father and I hit the highway right after the movie).
