Cowboys Vs Aliens

I know the movie title sounds stupid, but when I saw the trailer all I was thinking was OMFG DANIEL CRAIG AND HARRISON FORD IN THE SAMR MOVIE!!!!!!! JAMES BOND+INDIANA JONES=EPIC AWESOMENESS!!!!!!
What do you guys think?

I really don't know. Just seeing the title and a promotional pic I just thought to myself "There is no way this movie could ever possibly be kind of good."

I will wait until someone I know sees it first. A couple good actors cannot always stop a trainwreck. This looks like another Van Helsing to me.

Yeah, I guess the premise is kinda stupid, but still...

The least they could do is think of a better title. when I saw the trailer I thought "ben ten+ jonah hex= ?"

This movie looks so terrible, I highly doubt it will get a good rating. Yet again, critics always call every movie "Number One in America!" I hate that

 

[Man_of_Squid]

I know right?!

If the ads are right, every movie in existence is the number one movie in america

I loathe it when they say the movie is good, then you see it and it was terrible. For example, a friend of mine saw "Megamind", and said it was horrible, but one of the best movies he's ever seen. Either movie critics don't know how to tell the truth, or someone is paying them to give it a good review.

Also, vatti, you actually have a point there.

Personally, I love the premise. It reminds me a lot of District 9, which I loved. Setting an quasi alien invasion in modern day South Africa is brilliant. I don't think that setting an alien invasion in an old western is that far off.

Sure, the premise is a bit rediculous, but it's no Ninja Assasin, Crank, or Transformers. From what I've seen, it looks like a good production. We can't really know about the story until we see it so I won't make any judgements, but the plot points I've seen so far (mysterious alien bracelet thing, gives user various powers, use said powers to destroy aliens) workable even if they're basic.

I'm not writing this one off yet.

I don't care how stupid it is. Indy and Bond in the same movie deserves a watch!

Now that I think about it, they usually do the whole "Number One Movie in America!" act with more kid-oriented movies. It seldom happens with movies that appeal to older audiences. Also, sometimes the people who make these movies usually put in actors that people really like to make up for the fact that the storyline and everything isn't really very good.
