By David Medsker (361) for Bullz-Eye.com (1,091) on 27 Jul 2011

One wonders if there is a darker, grittier script for Cowboys & Aliens on Jon Favreau's night stand, dog-eared and tear-stained over what might…

Review of Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

By Rebecca Murray (740) for About.com (1,470) on 27 Jul 2011

You expect a wild romp through the Wild West with interesting, colorful characters leading the way, and that's far from what's delivered here…

Review of Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

By Nell Minow (2,357) for Beliefnet (937) on 27 Jul 2011

The long list of writers and producers may have been a factor in a disappointing last act that shows evidence of compromise and lack of focus…

Review of Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 27 Jul 2011

As meticulous and deliberate as the narrative is early on, it is just as clumsy and ineffectual in the second half…

A handful of good scenes do not a great movie make…

Review of Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 27 Jul 2011

Cowboys versus aliens is a concept that may make you smile in anticipation, but wipe that smile off your face before buying your ticket…

Review of Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

By Joe Lozito (463) for Big Picture Big Sound (482) on 27 Jul 2011

Director Jon Favreau's competent adaptation of the Hollywood-ready graphic novel delivers on every ounce of its one-joke premise: you'll see…

Review of Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

By Kimberley Jones (866) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 27 Jul 2011

Review of Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

By Kurt Loder (858) for Reason Online (497) on 27 Jul 2011
