As a Coen Brothers fan, John Wayne fan, and fan of the original True Grit - it is a shame that I have not sat down to watch this film, yet.

Hollywood has destroyed my faith in any sequel, reboot, remake, etc., with the only exceptions being my relative ignorance of the original - even then, it has been hit and miss (I liked the Coens' Ladykillers and the remake of Assault on Precinct 13, although I didn't really understand the need to remake either of them.)

You should. It's a different movie entirely, as the Coens are far more faithful to the book. don't even think of it as a remake, as their intentions are so different (mythmaking vs. myth-destroying).

And Tombstone might be the manliest movie ever made outside the 1970s.
