Review of Cowboys & Aliens (2011) by Sean K — 04 Nov 2012

Takes itself too seriously for it's campy nature, Cowboy's starts with promise before quickly deteriorating into a hoo rah! blend of genres that ultimately fails to work despite it's promising lead performances from Craig and Ford.

Also, the whole reason the aliens are even in the plot (gold mining?) is absolutely ridiculously shallow given the film's serious undertones. Though some cool ideas, action set pieces, and fine tuned performances are abound, this is all overshadowed or blown up thanks to a weak scripting and false sense of identity.
