Author Topic: Jonah Hex Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-24-2010 02:54 PM                     This is just an old-fashion B-western kicked up with some special effects and makeup. I had a good time watching this movie. Here are some of the good things about this movie: A Good Villain -- John Malkovich is terrific, as always A Good Hero -- Josh Brolin is good as this human zombie-like character. I hope he was paid well for this. A Good Love Interest -- Megan Fox. Wow, she has a skinny waist. She doesn't do a lot for me (I'm more the Eva Mendes type), but she looks good and fires a mean gun. Good Booms -- Lots of explosions here...Trains, boats, towns and lots of people. This movie also has the best character name I've seen in a long time: Ty Holland as Dumbass Outlaw A lot of money was spent on this movie...mostly for naught, as reviews and business have been terrible. It could have been made very cheaply and still be effective. This is a good, mindless summer movie. It's a lot of fun, and, at around 80 minutes, you won't be bored. I give this one a B+...better than I expected.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 06-29-2010 07:07 AM                        quote: Mark Lensenmayer at around 80 minutes, you won't be bored. Actually... I was ok with this for the first half or so, then I got bored with the whole thing. It just never went anywhere that interested me.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

It had started out pretty good then got progressively worse and worse.  |  IP: Logged
