The first half is kind of a hiccup of fast and slow, where really, any appearance of SLJ moved the story, and the second half, you just knew that violence was going to go crazy.

But, the theme of this movie was no one was honest except for The Hangman, which was shown by two scenes in particular: when it was revealed that the note from Lincoln was fake, Major Warren asked "Are you hurt?" ... "yeah." And that was probably the only line of truth in the entire movie.

The next part was the whole lecture about frontier justice, and it was easy to see and understand the Hangman's philosophy and how he didn't just kill people for money, but let the courts figure it out, which was interesting considering that lecture came from the other hangman. In fact, if you think of it, John Ruth is the only one that didn't try to kill anyone. And isn't it funny how he called it out that someone was in cahoots with the girl? It was because he was so honest that he was able to see this.

Warren was kind of the opposite. His lies were so extreme and so vivid, that he was able to use those lies to somehow pester the other characters to the point that, even though they were all lying all the time, he was able to pull out some of the truth.

My buddy and I was left with a lot to talk about, and a lot to analyze. Just consider the fact that the only two survivors (who really aren't, but "survivor" being last people talking), are the two who were accused of being on cahoots at the beginning. Was it pure irony that The Sheriff was the one who tried to drink the coffee and got off the hook? What if that didn't happen, would there be another excuse for him to be pulled away from the lineup on the wall?

I don't know. We were left with a lot to think about and a lot to discuss. I'm not some huge movie buff, but he definitely is what you would call a filmy to a pretty sick level. The only fault we were able to really think of on it was the guy under the floorboards. He really should have went for broke.

This was a special movie in my opinion -- I certainly couldn't see myself analyzing Star Wars for hours over beers.

Maybe that's on purpose, paying homage with the way characters were rushing from crisis to crisis. There's a Death Star!

Too many humorous one-liner quips that often didn't work, often as callbacks.

Felt like the manner in which the original characters were revealed was pretty hokey. The only one I really enjoyed was when they got to the Millennium Falcon. (No, that's a piece of junk!).

Total lack of story how Po survived (oh, I woke up at night). Well then, you'll be fine on a desert planet without water or our jacket for warmth.

I didn't like Han and Leia's son's character. The bad guy in Star Wars doesn't cry! Meh, I never felt as if he was as menacing as Darth.
