Movie Review: Cowboys and Aliens

Director: Jon Favreau
Stars: Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde

From the outside the movie looks impressive, "cowboys" and "aliens" in the title, Old man Indiana Jones, James Bond and the girl from tron. But from inside its just pitiful.

What could have been a fun and suspenseful film turns into a boring, silly routine of drama followed by action followed by drama till infinity. The writing team could learn a thing or two from koreans about mixing genres because the elements of western and science fiction are seriously messed up.

This will be a big disappointment for Harrison Ford fans(me being one of them) to watch him clearly dominated by Daniel Craig and this movie is an insult to his charisma. On the other hand, fans of Daniel Craig get James Bond in every scene instead of a cowboy which he should be. Olivia Wilde adds less glamour and more head-ache.

The only highlight for me in this movie was listening to background of the prologue scene which was clearly a amazing blend of western and modern music.
