Reviews:

I have to admit that, apart from a couple of episodes, I never really read Jonah Hex when I was a kid. I did not like Western comics very much. Thus, I have no point of reference as to whether the movie is true to the original comic series. Maybe that is an advantage when seeing this movie in that I cannot get upset by the movie not being true to the original. Actually I am reasonably sure that this movie with it supernatural and steampunk influences are not entirely true to the original comic series.

Despite what seems to be the general opinion I quite liked this movie. The story is mostly comic book material but then this is a comic book character after all. I thought the story was good enough. There is plenty of quite enjoyable action in it. Josh Brolin is doing a good job of portraying the bad-ass Jonah Hex and John Malkowich is perhaps not managing to project the diabolical übervillain image that the Turnbull character is supposed to have but he is still not doing a bad job. Megan Fox is, well…Megan Fox. She is fitting the character and the movie fairly well though.

It is my understanding that the supernatural element of the movie is not something that can be found in the original comic series. It did not really disturb me. I am not sure that it added very much but it was okay.

I understand that people having read and being fans of the original comic series would be upset if the movie did not follow the original but I have to say that I do not understand why everyone else seems to bash it as well. It was an enjoyable hour and a half of fun action. Jonah Hex was the bad-ass that you hoped for. This movie was a much better “interpretation” of a comic series than the abysmal Green Hornet for instance where the hero was turned into a fumbling idiot.

For me personally, this movie was definitely on the upper half of the enjoyment-factor scale.

_**Comic book Western with an excellent metal score**_

I was never a big Jonah Hex fan, but I have a handful of the comics from the 70s and was therefore mildly interested in this cinematic adaption from 2010, especially since Megan Fox looked so good in the promo pics, lol.

“Jonah Hex” reminds me of those gazillions of spaghetti Westerns from the 60s and 70s, like “Django” and Leone’s “Man with No Name” trilogy except that it’s more modern and entertaining.

To be expected, the atmosphere is very comic booky and the filmmakers do an outstanding job with the title character’s hideously scarred face. It’s like the comic come to life. Josh Brolin is fine in the eponymous role. On top of this, Megan Fox proves in her peripheral part that she was the foxiest woman in Hollywood at the time.

At only 82 minutes, the story is simple and the pace is fast, which I don’t mind since too many films overstay their welcome. But the writers did strive for some depth and that’s commendable. If there was more depth and epic-ness I wouldn’t hesitate to raise my rating. As it is, “Jonah Hex” plays like a spaghetti Western that’s actually decent. Imagine the style and pizazz of “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” updated to 2010, but half as long, no tedious stretches and less one-dimensional characters and you’d have a pretty good approximation of “Jonah Hex.”

One of the film’s highlights is the incredible metalized score by Marco Beltrami and none other than Mastodon. The movie’s worth seeing for the music alone, no kidding.

The film was shot in Louisiana with some re-shoots in California.

GRADE: B

hmmmm….
I’m hesitant to call this an out and out terrible movie as some have labelled it simply because it was mildly entertaining. There’s a lot of action, some cool ideas, a great performance by Josh Brolin and the short 80 minute running time doesn’t hurt it either.

The sad truth of the whole thing is that it just didn’t come close to its potential. For starters, Jonah Hex didn’t have to be macabre and supernatural…to my knowledge this wasn’t even part of the original comic books that the movie is based on. The original story is simple, Jonah Hex’s family is murdered, he’s horribly scarred and left for dead. He gets better and sets out for revenge. It’s a pretty classic western tale…one that we’ve seen before but given the general lack of western movies these days, that doesn’t matter…there’s plenty of room in theatres for a fun out for revenge Western. Having said all that, the supernatural ideas that they came up with are actually kinda cool, and I would’ve been happy to see them mixed in, if only they’d been handled better. Instead these elements seem tossed in as an excuse to include CG effects that the box office loves oh so much.

The end result is an unfortunate mash up of a good ideas…that maybe could’ve worked if more time had been put into development, it feels like it was either slapped together too hastily or suffered from a massive reedit…during most of the film I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was maybe a 2 hour+ director’s cut lying on the floor somewhere which may or may not be a superior and more coherent film. I was looking forward Jonah Hex based on a short appearance he had in a Batman cartoon years ago…from that alone I thought the character had a lot of movie potential but I was let down. Brolin’s performance is the best part of the movie. Malkovich is good but nothing too spectacular considering his track record, and even Megan Fox is half decent but she doesn’t have a lot to do with her pretty much useless character.

the term ‘train-wreck’ comes to mind.
Sometimes practically everything can go wrong with a big-studio feature, and Jonah Hex is one of them. Well, maybe not everything. I’m sure going into the film Josh Brolin thought it was a good idea for his career (or maybe his agent did), by starring in a big Summer tent-pole blockbuster based on a (semi) popular DC comics character. And some of the acting choices (i.e. Michael Fassbender, John Malkovich, Michael Shannon) appear to be inspired. On paper. But brought to the screen like this, in 80 minutes (perhaps 79 minutes too much save for some neat animation early on in the film), it’s a mess. Characters aren’t developed, the action is shoddy and cut together with ineptness, the story is a limp-noodle of revenge and 1876-set terrorism (?) and the supernatural elements, at best, are silly and, at worst, stupid and lifted from other movies like The Crow and… I dunno, THE CROW?

Basically, Jonah Hex is kind of like Josey Wales. That is, if Josey Wales was left out too long in a graveyard and came back with a weird scar on his face (the kind that makes him mumbly, if not quite like Hoffman in Dick Tracy), and can talk to the dead with a touch of the hand. He’s also after the man who did him in (then again, apparently, Hex did in Turnbull’s family as well, so it’s like revenging the revenger, except that the revenger is a total villain set to um bomb the United States with cannons that explode and stuff) and will stop at nothing to do it. That’s the whole movie. Megan Fox also shows up as window dressing; she’s supposedly the “love” interest, but where’s the love? She’s supposed to be a sex-pot, but she’s only hot here in the kind of slickest way, like a plastic doll. She’s supposed to be an actor, but where’s the acting? Everything is monotones and stiff, flashing glances or her corset nicely but that’s it. That her character is really a plot device goes without saying.

Oh, everything is just so… dull though. This could have, at least, been the potential to be the next Ghost Rider – or even the next Ghost Rider (sorry, couldn’t think of anything comic-book related as hilariously bad), but only a few times does it reach a level of gleeful campiness. One of those, when Hex is injured and healed by some Indians and gets on a vision-quest for his revenge and (spoiler) a crow comes out of his mouth, is very funny, as is near the end when Hex is offered a position as “Sheriff of America”. And yet a lot of the film is content to creak along on a weak script- penned, at least in some part aside from studio meddling from Crank’s Neveldine/Taylor- and flat dialog, and, again such weak and tepid action scenes. When one starts pining for the skill and craft in Wild Wild West, there’s trouble.

I’m sure the actors want to try, and maybe did. That is, who knows what else was filmed before the countless re-shoots from the studio, or what Jimmy Hayward was really able to get out of his actors (his first live- action feature after years of animation). And because of the film’s short length, character development or involving action set-pieces are whittled down. I could have gotten more out of a DC-animated movie, where at least there would be some expressive visual flourishes. Whatever charm or excitement or gritty appeal the comic had is washed up and out by Hollywood minutia, acting that goes over the top but not in an enjoyable way (Fassbinder I look at you, and Wes Bentley is just there for some unknown reason), and an open-ending that is weaker than anything else before it. The old west was never this phoned in, or the dead so bored.
