I don't know much about the comics (nothing actually), but any body with two Gatling guns strapped to his saddle I would probably watch when it comes on DVD.

And for some of you, well there is Megan Fox.

I seem to remember the Jonah Hex comics when I was a kid, Trek: I also remember Dad wanting to read them before I did. Once he'd read them, he was like "OK to read that, son, no problem."  TeddyR

Nice.  Another Hollywood sh!tstorm.  Do these people ever read the source material? They've taken something that could have sparked a new genre of dark westerns that are character driven and have some value and decided to go all Matrix and throw more and more and more weapons and explosions at the screen.

We won't even talk about the stupidity of thinking you can mount two Gatling guns on a saddle AND firing them both off while mounted on a horse.

Idiots.

I'd suggest visiting a local bookstore that carries graphic novels and read the reprinted originals and some of the graphic novels of Jonah Hex that have come out over the years.

The upside: Josh Brolin has the right build and voice for the character, who, if I'm not mistaken, was hanged at one point.

From the looks of things, the casting of Josh Brolin was the ONLY thing they got right.  Early reviews are making a lot of Wild, Wild West comparisons. 

It's especially annoying as the earlier comics before there was much supernatural going on often had pretty good basic stories and entertaining action.  They could have made a more modestly budgeted, far better film by being more faithful.  Shoot it very practical, have some awesome western gunbattles and no stupid crap like horse-mounted gatling guns, and you'd have a winner.  His actual origin story (his scar comes from a heated tomahawk) is also much more interesting than the extremely cliched and derivative one they're going with.

One thing I will say - apparently there was some HEAVY studio interference on this one (almost from day one), which is probably where a lot of the blame comes from.

Whatever the reasoning, it looks awful if you have read ANY of the original comics. I hate Hollywood. Would that terrorists play merry Hell with that business; the world would be the winner.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
