Jonah Hex Reviews
| Original Score: B- | Feb 18, 2012
Jonah Kex, Jonah Wrex, Jonah Hax, Jonah Kax, Jonah Thix, Jonah Crox, Jonah Sux.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 8, 2010
The film shows its comic-book origins in good ways (stylish settings) and bad (too many scenes end in a gigantic conflagration).
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 3, 2010
It just gets louder and more nonsensical as it progresses, with Fox shoe-horned into as many scenes as possible.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 2, 2010
At least it's relatively short.

It's a loud and subtle-as-a-sledgehammer assault on the senses, though, at 81 minutes, mercifully short.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 2, 2010
An object lesson in how not to adapt a comic book. A crushing disappointment.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 1, 2010
At 81 minutes with credits, Jonah Hex feels crude, lazy and entirely perfunctory.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 1, 2010
Scarcely even feature length, and bewilderingly chaotic.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 1, 2010
Jonah Hex could be bigger, louder and longer, with more special effects and faster cutting, but it errs on the side of simplicity. And to that, let's all raise a shotglass.
Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 6, 2010
There's just one ingredient missing: anyone with a clue.
| Jul 6, 2010
A sprawling, incoherent mess of a movie, all style (bad), no substance (worse), and capturing little if any of DC's Seventies-era mucho mojo.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 24, 2010
All three of you clamoring for a sequel to Wild Wild West have got your wish.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 23, 2010
Begins affably enough as a random slew of Leone-style squint-a-thons and shoot-outs but then loses it way in a dopey, anachronism-happy sci-fi plot.
| Jun 18, 2010
The most chopped up, stitched together Frankenstein job in recent memory.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 18, 2010
Calling Jonah Hex a waste of time requires qualification, given the action flick weighs in at 82 minutes.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 18, 2010
Director Jimmy Hayward fails to establish a viable reason for this movie to exist.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 18, 2010
It isn't just that no effort is expended on old-fogey ideas like character development; it's more that Hayward doesn't even try to make individual scenes make sense.

I think Jonah Hex could have exceeded 80 minutes to make room for some real visual invention. And three-dimensional characters. And a plot. A plot would have been nice.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 18, 2010
Though it has bad word of mouth, "Jonah Hex" is generally better, sprier and more diverting than most of the action flicks now playing, The A-Team included.
