SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Kirpianuscus ...is the basic purpose for see it. because it is one of many films about revenger and used as vehicle for not bad special effects. familiar name of actors, crumbs of classic western, few eccentric ideas. and it is enough for an easy show for everyone. nothing surprising, nothing too high. only fire, a crazy plan, John Malkovich and Alan Quinn as decent president Grant. and , sure, memories. about lonely revengers, not good, not bad, with terrible experiences in past and obscure future, invincible but good pellow for large sort of pains. so, fun. in large slices.
mike48128 I have seen worse movies, but this is on that list! A simplified version of a violent DC Comics "Weird Western" anti-hero, raised by the "Indians". Hex gets resurrected twice. The first-time in the animated titles. When he "comes back" a bird flies out of his mouth! He can talk to the recently dead, which allows him to apologize to Quentin Trumbull's son, whom he killed, and also to get directions. Really! Basically, a trumped-up "Wild Wild West" type plot involving a super cannonball, invented by Eli Whitney, which glows-in-the-dark and has nitroglycerin or atomic destructive powers. Quentin Trumbull devises a "Gatling Gun" that launches these things on either land or by sea. He wants to re-start The Civil War and he is insane. Revenge and murder trigger the feud between Hex and Trumbull after Hex is branded with a heinous scar on his face and jaw. Like most westerns, it's a chase movie. Almost every principle character gets to kill someone in the most violent way possible. Guns, knifes, fists, fire, explosions. Even "Lilah" (Hex's prostitute girlfriend) has her turn. There's a battleship fight between two "Ironclad" ships as well. Violent and disturbing but better than expected! Hex is pardoned by President Grant and rides off into the sunset with his trusty horse and wolf-dog at his side. A real "curio" and a big unpopular "bomb" at the box-office. Under 75 minutes with extended titles, but seems longer.
jessegehrig Here's what I remember- Megan Fox has dead eyes. She is bad at acting in general, and when I saw this movie, I remember her not acting well, and wearing old timey clothes. The credits say John Malkovich is in this movie, nothing, I remember nothing, and he can act, he's super good at acting, nothing, I'm drawing a blank. But like any action sequence or bit of dialog, I could not tell you a single thing. Michael Fassbender is in this movie another great actor, I don't know what he does in this movie or why. Stuff happens, for sure, but I don't know what that stuff is, I'm assuming people ride horses real fast and shoot guns. I bet there is a train and a huge explosion, maybe at the same time, I don't know.
Terryfan 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
