Such a beautifully shot movie. I wish I could watch it in theatre again.

Best scene: That whole train sequence was incredible... from the rumbling tracks, the movement of light across the trees illuminating the gang to the silhouette of Jesse James against the steam...

Roger Deakins was really showing off and it worked for the movie as well...

I agree. It is stunning. Also liked when he was watching his daughter play out of window with the scenery. Its simple scene but good subtle one. The ones you mention were excellent.

I agree. I liked the setting. I also like the actors’ clothings

It's one of the reasons it's not difficult to watch this long movie.

It's a good movie, but it's too long and too slow. It should have been cut to around two hours.
