Review of Jonah Hex (2010) by Jim C — 12 Mar 2011

Ah, my eyes, my eyes.

This has just displaced joint leaders Van Helsing/ League of Extrodinary Gentleman as my worst Hollywood film.

It had a terrible story, awful acting, poor effects, shitty script, overbearing score, crappy direction, gimicky camera work and poor sound quality (the sound effects were clear as a bell but diologue was so inaudible I had the subtitles on).

Everybody involved in this movie needs to be throughly ashamed of themselves. The talented cast seem for the large part thouroughly embarassed to be here, probably the reason they largely mumble the awful dialouge.

I was looking forward to this as I have read the recent Jonah Hex comics but didn't get as far as considering if it was a good or bad translation becuse of the sheer awfulness of the film.

I give it one star for being short!
