As much as I love the John Wayne version, the Jeff Bridges version is better.

Well, that’s just like your opinion, man.
Seriously though both movies are great. John Wayne’s version is iconic due to John Wayne himself, and is perfect in the context of its time and place. Jeff Bridges version stays closer
to the story and tone of the book. It is also perfect in the context of the time and place
it was made.
It’s really more a matter of preference that quality.

Crazy Heart is amazing. But he turned into "old man Bridges" with a startling quickness. He can be unintelligible at this point. Which kind of worked in True Grit--which is epic and a favorite of mine. But went off the deep end starting around "The Giver" and Hell or High Water.
It's hard to watch him in "the old man."
