So I spent the first thirty minutes thinking: huh?! Turns out these movies hold up better to me dubbed. At least I knew what people were saying. Made me realize I'd never actually heard JW speak himself. I'd learned to recognize the mimicry when someone imitated him, but had never actually been exposed to his attempt at speaking while acting.
I was shocked to realize he is not a very good actor . It had been a long time since I watched the movies where he was speaking clearly in Spanish. It is like someone in Hollywood decided he would be the Duke, put him in movies, presented him as such, and everyone was like yeah!
Nah!
Stumpy I could not understand either. Comprehension would hit my mind on delay, so I felt like I was constantly asking what or just making out the gist while the action had already moved on. I really struggled with my listening comprehension.
Feathers was awesome. Loved her. She shoulda hooked up with Colorado or with Borrachón. NO way she woulda been attracted to that mush mouth. It was fun watching her toy with him... very much cat playing with a developmentally disabled mouse.
Borrachón definitely stole the show. Loved all his scenes.
I enjoyed the movie - enjoyed-ish..... It did flow. Some of the dialogue was witty. I liked that JW's character made mistakes.
I also thought it was too long. Glad I watched it though. I now have an authentic viewing of a John Wayne flick under my belt.
