Has anyone ever seen Heavens' Gate? It has a good cast and sounds interesting, but supposedly is one of the biggest bombs in history (given its cost). Wondering if it is worth checking out or not.

Director is the same from the Deer Hunter, which I think it still a very good flick

Check this out --

"The premiere was, by all accounts, a disaster. During the intermission, the audience was so subdued that Cimino is said to have asked why no one was drinking the champagne. He was reportedly told, "Because they hate the movie, Michael," according to the book Final Cut, authored by one of the studio's executives, Steven Bach.

A subsequent review by The New York Times critic Vincent Canby called Heaven's Gate "an unqualified disaster," famously comparing it to "a forced four-hour walking tour of one's own living room." Canby went even further by stating that "It fails so completely that you might suspect Mr. Cimino sold his soul to obtain the success of The Deer Hunter and the Devil has just come around to collect." Roger Ebert quipped in The Chicago Sun-Times: "The most scandalous cinematic waste I have ever seen, and remember, I've seen Paint Your Wagon."[8] In 2008, film critic Joe Queenan of The Guardian named Heaven's Gate the worst movie ever made.[4]"

Even the trailers didnt interest me.....but if ya want to see another Old Remake that turned out decent. Check out True-Grit With Jeff bridges and matt Damon.

True Grit 2010 HD Movie Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXCmUEaPQPM#ws)

They even Got Barry Pepper to play Ned Pepper in the movie. I thought it was good for who can really play the Duke? http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-char092.gif

Well other critics had it rated top-10. Seems people had issues with the personality of the directory, so I thought maybe if one of you scholars had watched it I'd be interested in your thoughts. ;D
