Jonah Hex


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonah_Hex_(film)#/media/File:Jonah-hex-poster.jpg

For the next film for this month we have Jonah Hex

First off, we have the story which has Jonah Hex having who is appointed the job of finding the terrorist Quentin Turnbull who was also responsible for killing his family and leaving him for dead. I thought the story wasn't that enjoyable to be honest and felt an age getting through it.

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were very mixed with Josh Brolin as Jonah Hex, I felt fit the part and gave it a good go especially with the story he was given to work with and for that reason stood out from the rest who ranked from passable to bad. 

Now we have the action which was very generic and uninteresting and for most of the sequences wasn't shot that great with many cuts involved which took away from the enjoyment. As for the visuals I thought the film didn't really shine in that department and just also felt generic and lackluster with nothing standing out that much. Moving onto the tone of the film which although very over the top did keep some of the western aspects of it  which was somewhat enjoyable. I thought the soundtrack of the film was passable and it worked in some scenes throughout the film. 

Overall, I thought this film was a poor one with questionable choices on certain aspects with the only thing standing out was Brolin's performance as Hex. 

I give Jonah Hex a score of 4/10
