Just perfect...

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

DC Comic movie adaptation of "Jonah Hex" is one mess of a movie. A production budget of 47 Million Dollar put down to lowest corner of a Warner Bros. lot dumpster. Screen writing pair Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor gladly moved on as first-choice directors in favor for the movie "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vegeance" (2011), which did not really improved the situation for the partially innovative directors of "Crank" (2006) on the emerging domination of Marvel comic book adaptations with "Iron Man" (2008-2013) and "Captain America" (2011-2016) as front-runners. They made room for director Jimmy Hayward, who had at no time the picture under control, even though the promising ensemble cast starting from Josh Brolin in the title-given role accompanied by actress Megan Fox, who together share probably the most entertaining moments in "Jonah Hex"; a movie that glorifies booze, whoring and any acts of violence in a Neo-Western scenario with PG-13 rating, received through the MPAA butcher shop and green-lit WB executives, which brought the running time down to 75 Minutes (excluding the end credits), not worth any box office ticket; to actors John Malkovich and Michael Fassbender as double-team nemesis of anti-hero "Jonah Hex", who clearly had fun with their role variations, yet at no time were pressured by the director to make this picture a 90 Minute thrill-ride with no cheap looking animated flash-forward fill-ins and clear cut hardcore R-rated showdown on an unless promising battleship destroyer location, missing any passion for the original graphic novel content, where the main character, a former confederate soldier of the U.S. civil war, revived my Native Americans, who has the gift of awakening the dead by touching their skin and delivering punchline as "Cut myself shaving.", on getting asked on his disfiguring facial scar origins before sending the questioner pistol-shot to hell.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

You know there's trouble ahead when you're barely into the first reel and find the narrative being conveyed through a series of voice overs accompanied by some crummy animation. It's a clear sign that they run out of money somewhere, that or one of the major cast members refused to deliver any more lines. The rumour concerning this film is that both those contingencies occurred during the re-shoot, a re-shoot by the way, prompted purely by the motive to destroy the film. It seems it's a another case of Howard the Duck, quite how people can get away with that kind of thing and stay out of gaol is a mystery of the magnitude that would stump Jonah himself but it's something that persists in the US film industry.So what we're left with is barely a film at all, it's not much more than a series of roughly assembled tableaux accompanied by music. The plot is impenetrable, senseless even and as an adaption of a comic strip character it ranks almost as bad as Batman and Robin.

Once again DC Comics took another try with one of their comic book characters and give them their own motion picture.This time however we get Jonah Hex a character I never knew existed in the DC world because all I knew were Batman, Superman and others After watching this movie now I know why I haven't heard of Jonah Hex.But from what I have learn from both the movie and research on the comic character himself is that he's a western comic book anti-heroHex is a surly and cynical bounty hunter whose face is horribly scarred on the right side. Despite his poor reputation and personality, Hex is bound by a personal code of honor to protect and avenge the innocent.Now the movie has Josh Brolin playing the part of Jonah Hex and some praise his performance and thought he was the right actor for the role, I will have to agree he did a good job as the anti-hero of the film. He has a woman who works as a call girl Lilah played by Megan Fox.At the time I watch this movie it was because Megan Fox was in it and she did have some fair acting in the film as well as having a clever girl moment in the film. The film's main antagonist is Quentin Turnbull played by John Malkovich and he is a sick monster in the film and John deliver an twisted performance in the film. But the performance is not the three main cast members who give some good performance in the film the film's problem is the film itself it has too many dark scenes and graphic to boot, there also scenes that prove to be too intense for movie goersAnd I don't know how many know of Jonah Hex it's one of those characters you either know about or don't know about either way this film will not make you a fan of Jonah Hex because the script feels plain as the best word I can give it. Jonah Hex also has some powers like he can bring the dead back to life for just a few moments to gain informationIt's just hard to take this film even seriously, it just feels broken like they wanted to make a movie just to get a paycheck and to bring in on Megan's success in the "Transformers" filmsOverall the film is still graphic and hard to even consider serious but Josh, John and Megan performances are the only thing worth left to say about this film.I give Jonah Hex an 5 out of 10

I wanted to love this movie, I really did. But it is such a mess that I can barely even find some kind of silver lining in it. I am a huge fan of the character of Jonah Hex, not only because he is a badass cowboy, but I have always found him intriguing whether it'd be in a cartoon or comic. Yet this movie takes the character and just f***s everything up. Okay, to cut the movie some slack, Josh Brolin does a decent job as Jonah. But the script is so off that he doesn't get to give the perfect Jonah hex performance I thought he would. But overall he is decent. It is also a western which is my favorite overall genre of movies. And while the soundtrack doesn't fit too well, the songs by metal band Mastodon aren't too bad. Now to the stuff that is bad; EVERYTHING ELSE! I am sorry, but everything in this movie (that wasn't mentioned in the previous paragraph) is complete s***. I can't find anything good in this movie and therefore this movie pisses me off. I do not recommend this movie. It sucks. Stay away!
