Are you getting ready to check out the super sci-fi western featuring Josh Brolin and Megan Fox? If so, read early Jonah Hex reviews here with the movie trailer and photos after the jump.
Things aren’t looking too good for Jimmy Hayward’s latest flick entitled Jonah Hex! Early Hex reviews have called the western picture the possible “worst film of 2010”!
First the plot – “The U.S. military makes a scarred bounty hunter with warrants on his own head an offer he cannot refuse: in exchange for his freedom, he must stop a terrorist who is ready to unleash Hell on Earth.”
Sounds pretty good so far, right? Plenty of possible action ahead, decent plot and with a great cast line up of stars from Josh Brolin, to Megan Fox, John Malkovich, Will Arnett and Michael Fassbender.
Apparently the Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor penned story falls short thereafter due to the mix of sci-fi with reality. Brolin’s alter ego, Jonah Hex, and his ability to resurrect the dead for interrogation purposes conjured a few chuckles among movie critics, calling it “stupid, supernatural bulls**t”!
Here’s what ComicBookMovie.com had to say when it came to Hex:
“I dont want to give away the ending but I will say the final showdown between Turnbull and Jonah Hex wasn’t very climactic. And honestly that was my biggest problem of the movie was the rhythm of it. It has a good story line but it was not well paced. It was slow for too long so as the viewer you would loose interest in the movie. I wouldn’t go as far as saying its the worst cbm ever, but I will say it had so much potential and I honestly was really let down.”
One source also went on to say that “Even with low expectations this film was a complete and utter mess.” Overall opinions in regards to the plot just go from bad to worse.
“I can tolerate a mediocre plot as long as I’m not bored out of my skull, but Jonah Hex meanders aimlessly for the majority of its runtime.”
Toy Story 3 is sure to leave Brolin and his crew in the dust this week since the pair open on the same day!
“Sadly, there’s no fixing this one. The problems are deeply rooted, and can’t be solved with an edit. Massive reshoots would be required, and that’s not going to happen before the 18th of June.”
When talk of Megan Fox’s corset trumps the majority of the news surrounding the movie itself then there is definitley a huge problem!
Huffington Post also felt the same as the majority of critics:
“This movie apparently cost a lot of money and yet no one seems to have actually read the script before they started. Or maybe it’s that they didn’t realize how terrible things were until they got it into the editing room – and then it was too late.”

well there’s your problem this review is not from a real critic you’ve taken comments from a fan who posted his opinion on comicbook movies . the fans from that site are hating this flick because of there dislike of Megan Fox aand simply are dissing the movie because of one person’s opinion .obviusly your skills as an objective journalist are lacking if you relied on that site for movie reviews

Aside from one review from Comic Book the remainder of these reviews come from actual critics that attended an early screening in Los Angeles. I was also able to view the movie before the release and felt the same way.
Thanks for reading and for taking the time to comment!
