Jonah Hex (2010)
Wow. Okay, first the good things. Its short. With a running time of only an hour and 24 minutes, this wasn't as painful as it could have been. I had been warned this was pretty bad, but for $1 on Amazon, I couldn't resist, especially since my favorite boyfriend John Gallagher Jr is in it for a few minutes. I think I should put it out there that I love Josh Brolin, I have loved him since The Goonies and my love has never waned. So I actually wanted to see this when I saw the preview for it back in the summer. This movie just didn't work...on any level. I thought the music was good, and some of the effects were done well, but the story was just all over the place, and it just wasn't good. John Malkovich is really pretty basic as the villain (shocker, I know...what?? Malkovich playing a villain, what a unique idea!) and Aiden Quinn, who I loved, really should have been used more. Don't even get me started on Megan Fox, who I think is so unbelievably overrated. I am just going to say it...I think the girl cannot act. I think she is awful, and I have yet to see her prove me wrong. Not that I think it would have mattered if someone more fantastic had played this role, because it was a flat, one dimensional character anyway, that appeared to just be there for eye candy. So overall my opinion.....don't waste your money, or time, or anything else. If you want to see Josh Brolin in a better western, there are plenty to choose from. If you want to see more of John Gallagher Jr, go see American Idiot on Broadway.
