See more Mark B @Mbindon 05/04/2025 A good story and and a good vehicle for two stars that make the dialogue really sing. Well written and humorous. See more Robert H @Rwhobbs198 05/01/2025 Rooster Cogburn is a 1975 Western film that reunites John Wayne with the character of Rooster Cogburn, which he portrayed in the 1969 film True Grit. The movie follows Rooster Cogburn, an aging U.S. Marshal, as he teams up with a missionary named Eula Goodnight (Katharine Hepburn) to track down a group of outlaws. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and obstacles, including treacherous terrain, hostile Native Americans, and their own personal demons. While Rooster Cogburn has its moments, it ultimately feels like a lesser sequel to True Grit. The chemistry between Wayne and Hepburn is undeniable, and they share some memorable scenes together. However, the story meanders at times, and the pacing can be slow. The film's themes of aging, redemption, and the clash of cultures are timely and thought-provoking. However, they are not explored as deeply as they could have been. Overall, Rooster Cogburn is a middling Western that is worth watching for fans of John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn. However, it fails to live up to the standard set by True Grit, and its slow pace and meandering story may test the patience of some viewers.

It's got some really good cinematography in it just like the first one did and Wayne nails the character just like before too and is good overall. Great score too it's just it kind of isn't used that much the longer it goes. It also jumps around a bit between the villians and our main trio throughout. In the middle it can get a bit slow and with them just kinda relaxing along the way trading war stories but they got good chemistry and it works alright. Biggest issues is it's pretty simliar to the first in terms of 3 people going on an adventure to stop bad guys and the woman is avenging her loved ones. The indian kid is super forgettable too. The villian isn't bad but not as good as the first ones. It doesn't really do anything better than the first but it's still a well made flick. Nothing you haven't seen before but that's not a bad thing either. We do get some more background on Rooster but overall he's still the same old from before. No real serious attempts are made at character development. It's still a fun time for fans of any actors in this, the director, or Golden Era style westerns despite this coming from the 70's.
