Leave your thoughts about Jonah Hex.
| Associated PressDavid GermainSo short, and so bad, you cringe at the thought of how awful whatever ended up on the cutting-room floor must be. |
| E! OnlineLuke Y. ThompsonJosh Brolin does the pizza-faced bounty hunter justice, but pretty much everyone else involved -- including Megan Fox -- lets him down. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekCalls to mind two of the worst westerns of the past thirty years...The problem isn't that the movie is moody and morose; it's that it's flat and tedious. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe star is done in by the deathless mediocrity of the production, an assemblage of random camera shots, messy editing, redundant scenes, and witless dialogue as haphazardly stitched together as the flesh on Jonah Hex's face. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThere isn't a single reason to see this movie. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonIf Hex can talk to the dead, then he's probably the only one (apart from Ned the Pie Man) who could have any meaningful interaction with this movie. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Clifforda grindingly dull western-revenge-supernatural-terrorist-save-the-world mishmash that fails on every level. Did I ask why Megan Fox is here? |
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiYou could do worse than this and if you have been going to the movies this summer with any regularity, you most likely already have. |
| New York PostKyle SmithNutty? Maybe. But a pungent blast of the cinema du bonkers is just what this summer's multiplexes need after weeks of bromide-stuffed retreads that are as smug about their lack of originality as packs of teen girls who dress exactly alike. Mock Jonah Hex if you must, but you can't say you've seen a lot of other supernatural Westerns lately. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesOnly the idiosyncratic Warner Brothers would give us a wide-release summer movie that turns out to be an acid western. |
