Jonah Hex Reviews

"Jonah Hex" is as convoluted and as haphazardly made as the title character's face.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 4, 2023

[Jonah Hex] finds Hollywood carelessly slapping together elements of a bankable property and failing in every respect, to degrees that go beyond just bad filmmaking and instead reach extremes of moviegoer abuse.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Aug 18, 2023

Leaves infinite questions without response. [Full review in Spanish]

I really wish they'd kept Jonah locked up in that broom cupboard.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 19, 2021

For a supernatural Western about a hardened bounty hunter who comes back from the dead to take revenge, everything about this film is rather restrained.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 29, 2020

Unless you're a Megan Fox fanboy with no cinematic standards to speak of, then Jonah Hex isn't worth your time.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 13, 2020

Jimmy Hayward's film is a cartoonish melange of cliché set-pieces seemingly ripped straight from the pages of the comic with no thought as to how they would make a coherent on-screen narrative.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 24, 2019

The wildly dissonant tone caroms so haphazardly between self-satire and self-seriousness (sometimes within the same scene!) that it's impossible to form anything resembling an attachment to the characters or situations.

| Original Score: D | Nov 4, 2018

The really sad part is that Josh Brolin is great as Jonah...

| May 23, 2018

It's popcorn-chomping fun rooting for the soul-stripped Hex as he battles his way toward redemption and sweet, sweet payback.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 15, 2013

It's a little too brief to get bored exactly, but it's certainly long enough to get frustrated at the lack of the essential ingredients to get the audience engaged in its story.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 25, 2012

| Original Score: B- | Feb 18, 2012

It's a standard Western revenge tale dressed up with supernatural elements.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 14, 2011

The mark of a good actor is being good in a really bad movie. Josh Brolin is a really, really good actor, because most of the time he's on screen speaking you can almost forget what a loathsome, irredeemable, turd of a film Jonah Hex is.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Mar 29, 2011

When it works, which it does quite often, it's one of the better comic book adaptations of recent years.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 14, 2010

Seems almost calculated meticulously to suck the life out of its audience as much as humanly possible...

| Dec 5, 2010

The film is simply too brief, too befuddled and too delirious to do the comic book legend justice.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 20, 2010

An awful excuse for cinema that ultimately fails in nearly every way possible.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 20, 2010

...remarkably two-dimensional, showing evidence of having been edited down from something more complex.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 12, 2010

To quote Clint Eastwood's Monco in For A Few Dollars More, you people need a new sheriff.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 9, 2010
