Was a HORRIBLE movie. Just in case you were thinking of redboxing it, here are a few reasons why you shouldn't:
1) redbox has raised their prices. Save yourself the $1.28 and go get a frosty instead.
2) it wasn't a comedy. I thought that surely a movie titled Cowboys vs. Aliens was supposed to be a comedy. No. It wasn't even slightly funny. John did point out that with Harrison Ford and the dude who has been playing 007, why would it be a comedy? Good point.
3) The "plot" of the movie isn't presented until you are at least 1.5 hours into the movie. We kept asking each other what was going on and why.
4) If you watch it too closely to bedtime, you will be so confused that it's hard to fall asleep.
5) If you watch it too closely to bedtime, you might have dreams that your husband gets abducted, which would be especially awkward if you didn't have one.
6) Did I mention there was no plot for most of the movie?
7) If you didn't like Independence Day, you won't like it's equivalent set in old west times.
8) They should've named it Cowboys & Indians vs. Aliens.
Really, truly, just watch something else while eating a Frosty. Trust me, you'll enjoy it more.
I love your blog posts. I had been curious about this movie, with my family saying they really don't want to see it. I am thrilled to know I am not missing anything! Love you, Lis
ReplyDeleteOh come now Jen, you didn't think that the part where (oh I can't remember anyone's name now) Jake (?) breaks Percy's arm in the back of the coach didn't constitute a comedy? Funny thing is that we watched this movie the same night that you guys did. I'm sorry we couldn't have watched it together because we were totally entertained by the horribleness of it. =)
ReplyDeleteHaaaaaa I agree. I happened in on the last 15 minutes or so of the movie and didn't have the desire, at all, to watch the first part. I just wonder sometimes how much money they have to pay big actors like Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig to get them to agree to such a stupid script. The title alone though should have been warning enough to stay away!
ReplyDeleteBAHAHAHA. Just watch Nacho instead. And eat nachos.
ReplyDeleteLOL - yeah. That was hilarious Jen. Don't you love when you get done with a movie and think, "Why didn't I stop watching this two hours ago?" I'll keep that one safely on my "not to watch" list.
