Jim Carrier81 - Daniel Craig & Harrison Ford combine for good duo in this film. It's not realistic, but I like the concept. Solid movie...definitely for guys.

Bryan Lienesch60 - I thought everything Jon Favreau touched turned to gold. This flick proves he's not King Midas after all.

Dan O'Neill45 - Though it promised so much more, Cowboys & Aliens has some good action sequences and gives us what we see in the title, but suffers from writing that doesn’t bring anything new to the table and brings us constant cliches, bad one-liners, and an overall feel of disappointment because we know this could have been so much more wild than what we got. You got Han Solo and James Bond loading up their guns looking to shoot some aliens, how hard could it have been!?!?
