An average movie

Even though I only heard bad things about this flick, I was still curious to check if it was that bad. Since all the major comic-books character have already been adapted to the silver screen, what only remains are those rather obscure figures like this Jonah Hex guy. Honestly, the whole thing sounded promising. I mean, the main character was bad-ass and there was a really cool cast (Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Megan Fox, Michael Fassbender, Will Arnett, Michael Shannon, Wes Bentley, Aidan Quinn). But, unfortunately, the whole thing was indeed terribly underwhelming. I don't know, maybe it had that to do with the fact that the director Jimmy Hayward only worked in animation before but his directing was definitely not inspired. You wonder if with Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the original directors, the movie would have been better (However, after watching the terrible 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance', I have my doubts). Anyway, to put it simply, it was just boring, the directing, the plot, the characters, the dialogs... The only redeeming feature was probably Michael Fassbender who did manage to make his character a little bit more interesting than the others but that's probably the only positive thing I have to say about this flick. To conclude, I think I'm being really generous with my rating here, the whole thing was really average and I don't think it is really worth a look whatsoever.
