Cowboys? Check
Aliens? Check
Monsters? Check
Story? Kinda
Depth? Er
How on earth you can have a movie that includes cowboys AND aliens AND Daniel Craig AND Harrison Ford and yet end up with a bore-fest is beyond me, but that's what smartass director Jon Favreau has delivered.
What should have been jaw-dropping shock after nerve-tingling stunt turned out to be cliche after cliche and snooze after seen-it-all-before. Favreau treated us to re-runs of every western plot that's gone before and shines a bright light on Harrison Ford's over-the-hill-ness.
I never thought I'd have such a negative review of what should have been an outstanding movie.
