I'm also a huge Lindelof/Orci/Kurtzman fan. The film doesn't dally about getting to the point of the story, which is both a good and bad thing. Good for your average cinema goer and bad if you're fond of the twisted screenplays these guys are known for (MI:3 / Star Trek). The story seldom exhilirates or drives you to the edge of your seat. But that doesn't mean it isn't entertaining. The action and visual effects will keep the analytics glued. As far as acting goes Dan Craig pulls off the cowboy persona quite decently - albeit a bit formulaic. Wylde delivers all you could really expect from her which is nothing to write home about. Some of the best acting in the movie is actually left to the Sheriff Character's Grandson - believe it or not. Credit though, must be given to Ford's performance - as he really delivers one that forces you to attempt remembering who it is you're actually watching.

The movie is all-round entertaining. But breaks no new ground, in contrast with what we've grown accustomed to from the crew.… Expand

Harrison Ford must of got lackadaisical and sated after lunch, and the screenwriter and director must of started smoking weed together, because the rest of the film is just lazy as hell. No innovation, originality, or even fun really. Just what you expect, but more boring. It's a film about Cowboys V.S Aliens...how do you make that boring?

I'm not sure if Jon Favreau and Universal Studios were trying to pitch this as a new Indiana Jones but Daniel Craig is not nearly likeable enough with his stereotypically surly cowboy. Ford is suitably gritty as the veteran gun-slinger finding his softer side. Granted there are some exciting scenes but overall it falls pretty flat in merging the two polar genres. One scene where Craig carries Olivia Wilde in his arms until he collapses in exhaustion simply made me want to watch True Grit instead.… Expand

Plus, this blend of western and science fiction is so unique and compelling, it is hard to look away. With solid special effects, good creature design, and scenes straight out of classic westerns, Cowboys & Aliens often feels like a classic 1970s-1980s science fiction film with the amount of fun it has for its odd premise. Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford turn in very good performances here, as does the rest of the very capable cast. Though Cowboys & Aliens is the exact opposite of a thematically challenging film, it still delivers on its tremendous premise by being a ball of energy and incredibly fun to watch. Though its general narrative is not groundbreaking, the film executes it well and brings enough originality to the table to overcome that similarity.… Expand

I never read the comic book that the film was based on, but I absolutely loved the concept of cowboys duking it out with aliens. The fact that the director of 'Iron Man' was behind the director's chair also had me psyched. While I certainly got a solid movie out of it, I was expecting more. The film never is as fun as you might expect, and that probably has to do with how serious the film is in tone. Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig are great, the special effects are pretty good, and the blending of western and science fiction elements is done well. If the film let itself loose and didn't take itself as serious as it did, it could have been a lot more fun. With that being said, it's a fine film overall.… Expand

This is the kind of fun-loving action picture that I just die for. The effects are great, the scenery is spectacular, the vision is huge, the performances are lovely, the music is cool, and it's got friggin' Harrison Ford in a ten-gallon shooting aliens. How the hell can that not be fun? People can whine and moan about how stupid this movie is all they want they're missing the point. My absolute enduring favorite movies are always the ones that take themselves seriously while having total fun with themselves (ahem, "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns").

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Being one of Hollywood's top directors today after directing the two successful 'Iron Man' movies, Jon Favreau has now turned his direction to aliens in a western world and 'Cowboys and Aliens' is the product. Cowboys and Aliens is an American Western Science-Fiction movie and starring talented actors like Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Sam Rockwell.

The film's main plot favours simplicity instead of complexity, it is 'grabbing' instead or 'challenging' or to easily put-Cowboys and Aliens never offers much fresh or colossal contents. The story: in the creators' 'creative' imagination, the inhabitants of the invaded town got abducted by Aliens. So Jake Lonergan (Played by Daniel Craig), an amnesiac outlaw, joins up with a posse to rescue the captured people. Heard before? Repetitive? Formulaic much?

The thing which troubled me the most is the image of the 'alien'. It is neither intelligent looking nor it is interesting to look at; it is just as good as other beasts or monsters in any mediocre films, and it leads to a conclusion that it's intelligence and the looks of the alien, simply doesn't matched. Bloodcurdling or 'smart' looking would be there in my expectations but the aliens in the movie declined to touch me.

The performances are above-average. Daniel Craig, being a skillful actor, is raw, wild and genuinely appealing. I would not be pleased to mention that his work for this film is admirable or solid, but he is undeniably well equipped with charisma and for any actors, that mentioned skill is hugely important. Harrison Ford's contribution is as important as Craig's in this one. Ford is greatly appealing too, and his skills for acting are very much in evidence here. Other actors and actresses too deliver fine performances but Paul Dano somewhat disappoints me here. After showing somehow a great performance in There Will Be Blood, Paul Dano sells an acting show which I would say, mediocre, and I feel like I'm being hit. I expected more from him.

I'm very much in love with the settings of this movie. I adore on how the filmmakers captured the beautiful images of the western world and needless to say, the greatest element of Cowboys and Aliens is the sublime shots that the filmmakers have captured.

Despite being flawed, I believe that this movie is still a fun ride. Formulaic? Yes it is. But sometimes, formulaic stuffs could capture my attention as they are very easy to follow.

Conceptually this is a great idea mixing the genres as they have done. My initial review is that it begins very well, sags in the middle, then picks up in the final few acts.

The special effects are very well done. I really enjoy the design of the aliens. They are menacing and threatening with no regard for human life. The acting is very well done. Both Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig offer believable characters that are not one dimensional. Both men are tough, full of pride and though they are on different sides of the issue at the start of the movie it is not so easy to distinguish the typical western good guy from the bad guy. The plot is creative and they way typical adversaries in western movies all come together to battle the aliens flows well into the story and is not forced and artificial.

Once the aliens arrive and the back story of Daniel Craig's character is explored is when the movie begins to sag. Other things also happen that slows down the pacing of the movie. One event is the revelation of another alien which is used to explain the motive of the invading aliens. I think they could have found another way for exposition and it would have quicken the pacing. The other reason the middle of the movie sags is that many scenes take place in the dark and it is difficult to view what was happening. I wish movie makers would lighten night scenes just a bit so we the viewer could see a bit more of what is going on.

The final confrontation with the aliens is when the movie come back to life and returns to the pacing and quality story telling that it began with. Although a bit uneven all in all the movie does deliver an exciting, fun and gritty combination of the two genres.… Expand

Unfortunately, it's the pace and story that seems to doom the movie. The first quarter of the movie gets off too a strong start, but somewhere at about the halfway mark it grows slow and redundant.

The first couple action scenes are very unique and intense as you would expect due to the plot, although the aliens themselves are somewhat comical looking and could've been better. The movie also suffers from a lackluster 25 minute action scene at the end. In all honesty, the scene dragged on way longer than I wanted it to and I found myself not even caring about the outcome.

It's not a awful movie, I just expected a lot more. It may also be one of those movies that is better to catch on cable instead of going out to rent.… Expand

Given the choice, Cowboys & Aliens takes the serious route, instead of the fun route. Overly long and sometimes saccharine. Some memorable action sequences, great acting and great visuals should add up to more, but it doesn't.

A temática, a principio, é interessante. Porém, Jon Favreau resolve abraçar a artificialidade e jogar tudo que poderia fazer com que essa obra de fato florescesse.

Apesar do combate direto ser com o Aliens, eles não tem muito tempo de telaA temática, a principio, é interessante. Porém, Jon Favreau resolve abraçar a artificialidade e jogar tudo que poderia fazer com que essa obra de fato florescesse.

Apesar do combate direto ser com o Aliens, eles não tem muito tempo de tela no filme. Se o roteiro fosse bom, isso seria utilizado em favor de desenvolver os personagens, o que não acontece aqui. Sim, temos algumas subtramas, mas que são muito insignificantes não só para o publico mas também até mesmo para os próprios personagens. O Coronel foi o único que me chamou a atenção, isso apenas por conta do Harrison Ford, que sou fan. Clancy Brown está bem no filme, porém não é muito bem explorado. Já Daniel Craig não sai da sua zona de conforto e entrega apenas o que lhe é exigido. Algumas interpretações são bem meia boca, mas como o filme nunca me exigiu um alto nível de seriedade, nem sei se isso realmente conta como um ponto negativo.

A caracterização do aliens é genérica e não há se quer um foco neles. Claro, o filme é sobre eles, mas o roteiro fala o contrario. Não sabemos nada sobre os mesmos. Não há nenhum mistério construído sobre e, pensando bem... que bom. Pois nada nos é entregue, no final das contas. Fora todo estereotipo de alta tecnologia e monstros que só são inteligentes na premissa do roteiro. Quer dizer... eles resolveram abraçar o que mais havia de bobo na cultura pop, o que indica que o pensamento sempre foi nivelado por baixo nessa obra. A mesma coisa acontece com a extraterrestre, do nosso lado. Toda amplitude que aqui poderia ser explorada é substituída para uma linha simples onde qualquer pessoa pode entender. Só que alguém podia explicar ao diretor que é possível fazer um filme com diversas camadas. Simples e complexas. Também houve algo que me incomodou bastante. Do nada, o filme faz com que o Coronel - cuja personalidade é aquilo que vimos - DEIXE DE LADO que o protagonista roubou seu ouro, sentou a porrada no seu filho e possivelmente matou uma mulher. Cara, como assim?
Do nada eles estão lá, super companheiros.

A fotografia é boa, em alguns momentos. Mas como a direção de arte não me parece muito preocupada sobre como eles querem que vejamos o filme, podemos resumi-la a bons ângulos. A OST é discreta, estando ali para aumentar o suspense e a tensão, mas a mesma não trabalha sozinha, se é que me entendem.

O filme é "assistivel", mas há tantas pontas soltas, conveniências e o conteúdo é tão vago de forma geral, que é impossível dar uma nota positiva só porque ele me entreteve por determinado momento.… Expand

Cowboys & Aliens has got one of the most coolest concepts going but the outcome for this movie isn't that good.

The movie's got a very interesting story, some weak acting apart from Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig. The movie's even got some very forced dialogue, bad pacing for the builds, some very graphic action sequences, bad cinematography and some very forced humour.

Finally, the movie's got some very creepy concepts for the aliens, which looked really good.… Expand

A quick and easily understandable western baron plot with a little alien twist, the movie is serviceable in plot and in nearly every other aspect there is a huge amount of care on display. The costuming is fantastic, Harrison Ford got a heelA quick and easily understandable western baron plot with a little alien twist, the movie is serviceable in plot and in nearly every other aspect there is a huge amount of care on display. The costuming is fantastic, Harrison Ford got a heel turn for once, and Daniel Craig is a very special breed of the "i forgot i was a 'bad guy" arc and his general stoic presence is appreciated compared to more heavy handed action films with lots of lines for style. Long story short, Jon Favreau directed one of my all time favorite period pieces before I knew he poured the foundation for the MCU. Watch with friends for added enjoyment.… Expand
