cowboys and aliens review

Rated 12. Director Jon Favreau. I want to note that I am changing my review style.

Cowboys and aliens boasts a decent cast and good effects, but there's something missing. Humour is absent, as is a remotely believable storyline. This absurd tale has the CGI and some action sequences that are too spaced out. The film was so loud it gave me a headache. It was scary and suspenseful, and some good locations were present. The actors are good in it, but I criticize the lack of humour. Plot? just what it says on the tin, cowboys fighting aliens. Interesting combo but when you remove the element of joy, actions films can become train wrecks.

Grade: 4
