Han Solo and James Bond, Cowboys and Aliens. How could this go wrong? Lazy plot, forgettable supporting characters, and a anticlimactic ending, that's how.
To be fair I enjoyed Cowboys and Aliens, just not as much as I should have. With Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig on the screen and Favraeu behind the scenes, this movie should have been epic. Unfortunately it was just "good". The action scenes where Craig kicked a bunch of Cowboy ass was awesome, too bad those "Jason Bourne" style fights stopped 20 minutes in. Also what was with Olivia Wilde's character? SPOILER She was an alien too, but just filled us in to that fact 3/4s of the way through to help push the plot. It was like the writers were like "Oh shit, we forgot to tell the audience why these aliens are here."
Overall I liked Cowboys & Aliens, the action was decent, the plot was "eh", and the special effects were on point. At the end of the day I would classify this one as a rental.
