I liked it a lot and preferred it to the original. Bridges was Cogburn ...Wayne was just Wayne, as we had seen him a zillion times before. As for Bridges sounding like Billy Bob's "Slingblade" character, I simply didn't get that at all.

I agree that Mattie's quest is the point of the film and I found it much better portrayed in this version. That's why I can't see lumping it into the formula "western" genre.

Great dialog, acting and cinematography. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
