True Grit - 3/5

I liked most of the performances in this movie (especially Damon and the girl who played Mattie).
The music was terrific, and the cinematography was good as well.
I just could not get past two things: Jeff Bridges will NEVER be Rooster Cogburn in my book, and the 'bear man' scene threw me completely out of the mood.
It seems like that scene was made from a different movie and just inserted into True Grit to pad out the running time.
