Escape to the Movies: Cowboys and Aliens

[Cosplay Horatio]

Its a good thing I decided to watch Cars 2 instead of Cowboys and Aliens. Ever since I saw the trailer for Attach the Block I've wanted to see it very muchly.

Ah, I might go see it anyway.

See this is why Hollywood continues to make crap, you "might go to see it anyway". If we continue to support movies with hype and no substance, then Hollywood won't learn anything.



Dull is the perfect word to discribe this movie thanks Movie Bob.

Well I might actually like the movie. I personally go watch movies that I'm interested in.


OT I'm still going to see it. Partly because Olivia Wilde is in it . But on a more serious note, I'm starting to doubt Moviebob's credibility. Captain America had no character development and it was good, whereas Cowboys and Aliens wasn't?? Also the whole "Captain America is the nicest guy ever" kinda annoys me. I personally don't think that those kind of characters are interesting. They are just annoying. Thats why I hate Superman(also the fact that he basically shoot lasers out of his ass).

I saw it, and I was underwhelmed. Granted I tend to agree with Movie Bob on a fair bit, and wasn't expecting to love it. Best thing about it was me and my friends whispering to each other the whole time. It didn't captivate me with the Cowboys, and the whole alien bit was... uninspiring. And it did not have nearly enough camp to pull the whole thing off.

What a shame, I wanted to see it.
Maybe I'll skip :/

Oh yeah, and there was an Olivia Wilde nude scene. So it has that.

I've been waiting for this to happen since the first episode of Dr House she starred in. Yeah.

She is naked in the movie Alpha Dog.

It was actually pretty good, guys, Bob is a CRITIC, so you can expect him to be CRITICAL at things. Again, its more or less decent film that is interesting to entertain, I reccomend seeing it and not taking Bob's every word into hand, just some of them. Again, its entertaining and is worth its admission, just don't be to critical with it.

I liked it. *sad panda*

I saw it the other day and I agree with Bob's assessment. It's not terrible, but it's also not as epic as it should have been. It's well acted, but the characters aren't terribly interesting, and I had similar issues with Harrison Ford's abrupt inexplicable changes of character flipping between being a big jerk and suddenly caring about people's feelings.

All in all, it was okay, though. I didn't feel like I wasted my money.

Must resist the urge to watch clips of Hey Dude on youtube. It can't have aged well.

Fun fact: a young Christine Taylor was in it.

 

[Your Fearless Captain]

I liked it. Not so sure why Bob disliked it so much.

 

[TastyCarcass]

I saw the film, loved it.


Also, if you want a review that says the complete opposite of what you say, check out Red Letter Media's Half in the Bag review. The said the film was exciting and traditional while the worst part of it is the title

I'm surprised the gaping plot holes weren't mentioned.
