Jonah Hex

2010’s Jonah Hex is a prime example of how DC are prepared to try something new, but aren’t really sure how to pull it off. It was a science fiction Western – a very different take on the comic book genre – and they just couldn’t get it to work.

Even a stellar cast that included the likes of John Malkovich, Megan Fox, Michael Fassbender – as well as Josh Brolin in the titular role – couldn’t save the movie.

The makes of Jonah Hex tampered with the source material in a big way – it was as if they thought its obscure nature would allow them to get away with it – but they made a total mess of it. Brolin did okay, but he couldn’t hold together a movie that was, frankly, absolutely allover the place from start to finish.
