Cowboys and Aliens

Cowboys and Aliens - A review

by Mark Kennedy on Friday, July 29, 2011 OK saw Cowboys and Aliens earlier this week. Let me tell you....IT ROCKED!!!
I will try not to spoil anything for you.
Movie stars Daniel Craig...AKA James Bond... as a amnesic with a strange metal bracer on his left arm. Who he is, where he was, what is this on his arm all a fog.
He is accosted by a travelling pack of Indian Scalpers and lets say he gets some clothes and a horse. He has this hummingbird spirit guide but enough of that.
Once in town he meets up with the very pretty Olivia Wilde, AKA TVs House, the OC and the movie TRON. She wants to talk to him but doesnt say more.
Turns out Daniel Craig has a wanted poster out for him. He is captured and then the aliens show up.
Lots of townsfolk captured and pretty good efx.
Harrison Ford plays the role of the evil cattle barron who is trying to balance saving his son and getting revenge on Craig for some heist he pulled. Ford does a good job with the evilness but seems to lose it during the movie, I guess Speilberg and Jon Favreau did not want to make him a total jerk badguy.
There is an outlaw gang and a band of Indians who all team up to battle these aliens from a distant galaxy far far away. In real life they would of had their butts handed to them, but in Hollywood land there is a different ending.
Two real bad timing sequences in the movie but it holds together really well.
Remember this is fantasy and have fun with it. That way the movie is very enjoyable. There is much more than this sooo go see it.
