Review of Jonah Hex (2010) by Fiona N — 28 Feb 2011
This movie is hated quite a bit, but it's still quite enjoyable for what it is. Am I saying it's the greatest movie? No, not at all. But I was entertained thoroughly. The story is really simple and combines two very simple concepts in revenge and good guy vs.
bad guy. I just wish there could have been more time introduce the characters and their backstories. They just seemed to introduce the character and go on with the movie. Nothing in-depth. This also seems to happen throughout the whole movie.
Sometimes it just felt rushed and that's made known by the running time. I felt some of the scenes could have been drawn out just a little more, even the action scenes. They didn't even explain what was up with Hex's bringing back the dead powers.
It was kind of confusing. And even though they might have been rushed a little bit, I enjoyed the action scenes. Lastly, for a movie that's hated universally, I felt the acting was strong. Josh Brolin seemed to have the role of Jonah Hex down pat.
John Malkovich was also very good as Quentin Turnbull. Even Megan Fox was halfway decent as Lilah.
