Jon Favreau's direction is mixed, great in the action scenes, pedestrian at other points, while the characters are underdeveloped and little more than clichéd. The writing is mostly awful, particularly in the slower moments where those moments are peppered with schmaltz, and the story is dull with little satisfactorily explained. The let downs however are in the writing and in the story. Plus the title is great and one of the things that drew me in in the first place. The soundtrack is fitting and memorable, and while the first action scene was a tad overlong, the action is beautifully choreographed and definitely one of the more interesting parts of the movie. It is a well made movie, with cinematography and editing to be admired and settings and costumes that are not only great but show some imagination. However, when it came to seeing it I found it a let down. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 4 / 10 Great title, visuals, soundtrack and action but soulless and unengagingĮver since I first heard of Cowboys & Aliens it was actually one of my most-wanted-to-see movies of the year.
