I think Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray have done fantastic with this character, writing one-and-done stories (there has been only one multi-issue arc over the 60+ issue run, if I recall correctly) that capture the West with a lot of fun and bloodletting. So I was stoked when the movie was coming out . . . until I saw the previews.<br /><br />That said, I enjoyed it enough. No, it's not a great movie. Yes, they would have done a lot better staying closer to the work that has established Hex as a movie-worthy character in the first place and, given the cast, they had a great opportunity to make a real GOOD movie. But for whatever reason they went a different direction and blew it. But for me, if I tune all that out, it's an enjoyable enough experience to watch.<br /><br />But I'm a sucker. I like seeing characters riding around on horses shooting guns.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070278104646895235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-12677643523991658642010-12-26T10:56:35.718-06:002010-12-26T10:56:35.718-06:00I felt sort of like you.

I enjoyed it enough to get through it without yawning, but over all I didn't think it was a very good movie or a very good Jonah Hex movie.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-88038702296514808702010-12-26T09:26:11.737-06:002010-12-26T09:26:11.737-06:00I think this is about the closest you've come ...I think this is about the closest you've come to a bad review.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.com
