Cowboys & Aliens

So...this was boring. And that is pretty odd for a movie that has "Cowboys & Aliens" as its title. Its two things that usually are pretty far from boring. I love Westerns, I love Sci-Fi, this movie should have been a serious popcorn muncher. And instead it was boring. It's starts off really cool, the wounded man alone in the desert, clearly just after a fight...and then it gives you the very real feeling that you've seen it before, the only difference is the Alien technology on his wrist. And then it hits a few cliches that you've also seen before in the troupes of Spaghetti Westerns. By then, if it hasn't lost you then you are a really a trooper. From there it goes into Science Fiction....or more science fiction...but that doesn't improve the film, you're already wondering what you're going to cook for dinner tomorrow. By the time the big reveal hits and you seen the Indians...the dinner your thinking about has turned gourmet and it's seriously going to wow your girlfriend who was kind enough to watch it with you despite liking neither genre. And by the end of the movie you want to take a nap and are wondering how something like that could have happened in a movie with "Cowboys & Aliens" as the title
