Jonah Hex Reviews

Movie Reviews

• Yep, it's hexed

  by Colin Covert [Minneapolis Star Tribune ]

• The opening frame of Jonah Hex should say: "Caution: Made expressly for the male teen demographic. Not suitable for anyone of any age who prefers movies with coherence, an original plot or characters they give a hoot about"

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• the movie is never boring. It is, however, frustrating

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• the film's noisy, slam-bang approach and lack of imagination in all nonvisual departments will keep it from rounding up a fresh generation of thrill-seekers

  by Justin Chang [Variety ]

• Jonah is fated to ride alone. Don't make the mistake of keeping him company

  by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]

• Jonah Hex is a good performance and a few good lines buried in a script whose authors should do a little time in writer's hell for scribbling it

  by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel ]

• it's charred, bullet-riddled mulch

  by Wesley Morris [Boston Globe ]

• generally better

  by Manohla Dargis [NY Times ]

• completely forgettable

  by Chris Cabin [Filmcritic.com ]

• artlessly directed and sloppily written production

  by Peter Howell [Toronto Star ]

• an orgy of overstatement

  by Amy Biancolli [San Francisco Chronicle ]

• an expanded Jonah Hex on DVD could be more watchable

  Review rate : C- by Steve Persall [St. Petersburg Times ]

• an assemblage of random camera shots, messy editing, redundant scenes, and witless dialogue

  Review rate : D+ by Lisa Schwarzbaum [Entertainment Weekly ]

• a real mess

  by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]

• a narrative mess

  by Nick Schager [Slant Magazine ]

• a mercifully fleet and lamentably uninteresting adaptation

  by Steven Rea [Philadelphia Inquirer ]
