Jonah Sux

Why did Jonah Hex suck so much?


Is it because Megan Fox is in it? Is it because they beat the bad guy pretty easily? Is it because the writing was bad?

No

Jonah Hex sucked for one easy reason. It looked bad. Every camera angle seemed to be so tight that for all we know, every scene could have been shot in someone backyard. There was a handful of shots from a distance, and even then they were dark or soaked in CGI. If you're gonna have a bunch of explosions and good costumes and good make-up and blah blah blah, I think the scenery should be up to par.
There is also the metaphorical sequence when Brolin fights Malkovich in red dirt that slightly resembles the back part of a construction site. My main point, if missed, is it looked like it was shot by a near-sited boy with a bootleg copy of After Effects.
