Hexed

Jonah Hex (2010)

Former Pixar employee Jimmy Hayward directs his first live action film based on a DC comics character which stars Josh Brolin, John Malkovich and Megan Fox. A bounty hunter with a dark past in the American Civil War faces off against his nemesis.

This film seems to a plot that is fairly similar to that of Wild Wild West (1999) and unfortunately seems to be of a similar quality. Some of the dialogue is pretty terrible and some of the locations seem out of place for the area of the US being depicted. While the production values are pretty good (you would expect that with a nearly $50mil budget) the direction and action sequences are unremarkable at best.

2/5 poor comic adaptation.
