Never been big on westerns and have never seen this one but your review has definitely piqued my curiosity.

Once again, I feel like I missed the boat. It's a well put together film and has some good acting, but there isn't really any magic there.
It's a really good movie, but I don't get all the praise. I guess westerns aren't my thing. The first thing I thought after watching this, "it must have been a bad year for movies in 92' ".

I can honestly say the only great part is him taking that drink. Everything seemed to have been done before. The finale in the saloon is kinda bothersome when there are 15 vs. 1 and no one shoots? Everyone has heard the legend and they are all scared to shot? Nobody is gonna take a potshot at him from the shadows when he is leaving Greely's?

I'm lost on what that finale meant, because it was almost cartoonish. Most of the stuff until then was believable and then a bunch of armed men roll over and die.
I didn't have an emotional connection with anyone but Morgan Freeman. The abundant praise build-up and not being a big western fan probably hurt me the most.

I figured there was a lot of analysis and meaning I missed.

A bunch of armed men is being disingenous for the record. Someone with a gun that's discharge can spread across the room already drawn and cocked and ready to blast at a moments notice is something each individual in that room is going to have to consider before deciding they're going to be the big man in that situation.

It's open to debate. To me that is a bunch.
You make a lot of good points above, but that's a lot of qualifiers that I would have to consider to make those conclusions. I didn't, so I don't think I would ever come up with that stuff of my own accord.

Someone corners you with a loaded and readied shotgun in a small, crowded room has the upper hand particularly if there's alot of you and if he's angry and willing to die like Munny. "A bunch" is an irrelevant distinction at that point. At that point you've got to decide if you are thinking of yourself or the boss, the former is how they overwhelmingly go which isn't surprising, self preservation trumps the vast majority of stuff in life even if you tell yourself otherwise, Stalker tackles the same thing with the brother/money thing.
