New Grit is True Grit

Saw both the old and the remake of True Grit this weekend. Loved the new one. The old one was good, but I have always hated John Wayne and couldn't get past it. All the actors in the new one were better in my opinion except for Matt Damon. La Boeuf was much better played by Glen Campbell. Both Mattie Ross' were excellent, the new unknown, Hailee Steinfield, out acted them all. The biggest disappointment for me was, there was no disclaimer at the end of the old True Grit that said, no horses were killed in the making of this film - stupid John Wayne.
