a disappointing sequel, 10 June 2007
5/10
Author: jmgalvan-1 from United States

"True Grit" is one of the finest Westerns ever made, and definitely features John Wayne's best performance. In that film, the character was perfectly made to suit him. Unfortunately, the sequel to "True Grit", titled "Rooster Cogburn" is not a film that works out so well. True, John Wayne was still top-notch as his ever-famous character and Katharine Hepburn, one of the best actresses of all time, was great in her role, the film is spoiled by others factors.

The plot of "Rooster Cogburn" is not particularly original, but then again, neither was "True Grit". But you don't need an original plot to have a good movie. You need a movie with a plot that is developed and executed in the right manner. "Rooster Cogburn" plays dull and slowly, with characters that we really couldn't care less about and a climax that we really just want to come so that we can see what happens. And the climax itself is one of the biggest downers I have ever stumbled upon. Some of the minor action sequences of the film were more entertaining than the ending shootouts of "Rooster Cogburn". The villains were very badly developed, you couldn't really remember any differences between them and they really had not point in the film. They were just there to be there.

I watched it for three reasons: John Wayne, Katharine Hepburn, True Grit sequel. Two of those aspects were done perfectly. That would be John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn, two of the greatest stars of all time. They did their parts with perfection, as they always did in their long careers. But the third point fails. "Rooster Cogburn" just fails to be a compelling movie. It's overall a major disappointment, especially when compared to the cleverness and entertainment presented before us in "True Grit".
