JONAH HEX


First & foremost, the make-up for Brolin was great! Megan wasn’t unpleasant on the eyes, either. Next the story stood well. The history was presented throughout the flick. Malkovich ALWAYS plays his characters extremely well. There is a surprise I missed, Tom Wopat (one the Duke boys) is a Colonel. The mix of comic book-style, animation & live-action at the being was interesting & entertaining.

Now for the unpleasant part; first, the movie was only 80 minutes & it was CHOPPY. It was as if someone just pasted stuff together. Continuity for the main part of the flick was okay. This Jonah is representative of the newer Jonah Hex series, not the ‘70’s version I used to buy.

There was a LOT of literary license & gadgetry throughout the film & not half as much a “one-liner” movie as I expected from the trailers.

If you pay more than four dollars to see this one, you paid too much (my opinion).
