Jonah Hex

Jonah Hex is the latest comic/graphic novel series to be converted into a motion picture. It stars Josh Brolin in the lead role of Jonah. Also there's Megan Fox as the town hooker and John Malkovich as the bad guy. I'm not really bothering with specific character names because they don't really matter in this case.

The only things I really thought were good about this movie was the acting by Malkovich and some of the visualizations that were used off and on. There were times when it looked kinda cool. But that's really all.

The movie itself didn't really have much of a story to it. It picks way too late in what all is going on and doesn't explain hardly anything about the characters. Therefore you don't really care about the good guys or anything. The whole time I was thinking that surely the comics must be better (most of the time they are). Sadly, but perhaps not too surprisingly, Megan's acting just was not existent. But what's worse is that her character really served no real purpose in the movie. She was just there. I guess to look at.

It's not often that I think a movie is a waste of time but this is one of those times. Malkovich was good but there are plenty of other movies you'd be better off watching him in.
