Movie Review: This story was a decent graphics but the rest of the movie was just not anything of a story you want to watch. But it had a lot of action and all the right themes to sell a movie but maybe used too many all in one movie to make it enjoyable.
I actually enjoyed the movie from a visual effects side of the movie and although the story was tough to buy especially considering the plot but it was interesting enough to keep you watching.
The problem was there was no real movie to grab onto , the fact was it took me a while to realize whether it was a horror flick, then comedy , then western then a save the world super hero …which one maybe all of the above which is why it was ok and enjoyable to watch.
However, the end feeling, the effect of that movie after it is said and done was exactly the same feeling which was ok nothing special just ok.
Its about a rampant cowboy Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) who kills the son of his now enemy(John Malkovich) when they were fighting in the Civil War and then Molkovich kills Brolin´s family and puts a branding iron to his left cheek so he would always remember him, that created the skull like face of Brolin.
Then Jonah Hex continues killing whoever he wants in the Old West just for sometimes looking at him, originally a bounty hunter turned rogue after he kills a bad sheriff who tries to cheat him out of the reward money, so becomes most wanted man then Malkovich reappears as a Terrorist ready to take over the World, and Jonah Hex is hired by the President to save the World. Oh how can we forget to add in the beautiful Megan Fox who is Jonah Hex´s girlfriend (prostitute working in a saloon) who is kidnapped by Malkovich to try and defeat Jonah Hex.
In short, a action , horror , comedy and romance all in one and unfortunately any all for one of anything, doesn’t usually do any one thing great and I think overall it just didn’t seem to do much to ever want to watch it a second time, which means it left me Ok but not amazed.
I give it an even, no thumbs up, and no thumbs down, just OK.
