Cowboys and Aliens (spoilers!)

I have to be honest. I did not like this movie as much as I thought I would. My friend, yes I have one, was like "See this movie its so good." so last night I did. It started out Daniel Craig is in the middle of nowhere and hes got this fancy pants braclet on. Then he goes into town where hes a wanted man. I dont want to explain the whole story because honestly I dont remeber all of it. Anysways aliens come down and they fight. There was so much to poke at when I left the theaters. I think it would have made a great western movie. The hand to hand combat was amazing. And it would have made an ok alien movie. I think combining them like this was a good idea butt it could have been executed a bit better. The main character Jake Lonergan is set up to be mysterious and not knowing what is going on. This I had a problem with because in a main character we want to care about him and we cant if we don't even know who he is. Harrison ford played a good old mean guy, butt I feel like he could have had more depth in his character. Sam Rockwell is a fantastic actor. Every time I see him I think of this. His talents I feel are wasted because he plays this bartender who doesn't get any respect and cant shoot a gun. Olivia Wilde was in here looking as hot as ever. She was an alien and I actually did not see that coming. She dies in the middle and I thought to myself there were more scenes with her in the trailer. Then I caught on that she wasn't a human and some bull crap was going to happen to make her come back to life. Now the aliens came to earth to...take gold. I'm not kidding. I think all alien movies have this problem where they have this invasion and then they don't know what they want to do about it. Why cant the just be like vikings and just slaughter all of humanity. Probably by now you think I hated this movie butt I didn't. Now don't you sit there and think I liked it either. For me it was a meh movie. It was ok. If you want to see good action, Harrison Ford wearing a cowboy hat, Olivia Wilde, and some pretty cool aliens then see it. Butt don't really expect a story line. I guess for me I thought it wasn't as formulaic as other movies. It seemed to just all be happening with no real point. It started off slow butt the end action scenes were great. Check your brain and dignity and see it if you want.
