Critics Consensus

Josh Brolin gives it his best shot, but he can't keep the short, unfocused Jonah Hex from collapsing on the screen.

Independent (UK)

The film shows its comic-book origins in good ways (stylish settings) and bad (too many scenes end in a gigantic conflagration).

Every Movie Has a Lesson

"Jonah Hex" is as convoluted and as haphazardly made as the title character's face.

Rated: 1/5

Deep Focus Review

[Jonah Hex] finds Hollywood carelessly slapping together elements of a bankable property and failing in every respect, to degrees that go beyond just bad filmmaking and instead reach extremes of moviegoer abuse.

Rated: 0/4

This movie definitely could've been better, but I still enjoyed it. Jonah Hex is one of DC Comics' most unknown yet intriguing characters, so a story about him is interesting, but this movie doesn't do his character justice.

Josh Brolin (Hollow Man) John Malkovich (Knockaround Guys) Michael Fassbender (Blood Creek) and the rest of the supporting cast do solid work plus Marco Beltrami (The Omen) delivers a decent score but this is not only a boring western but an disgrace to the source material by giving unnecessary mumbo jumbo powers to an character who doesn’t have any and Megan Fox (Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen) once again being miscasted and not even trying

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Hugely entertaining with some dark comedy and some strong performances from the leads. Don't understand the low ratings, Probably Megan Fox's best performances too.

Picked this movie up for 3.99 at a second hand media shop, I recognized thee Jonah Hex name but I had no clue that made a movie about him. Casting in this movie is bafflingly bad, like the actors are great it's a star studded cast, but almost none of them feel like they fit the roles at all. The film feels oddly short, like the pacing is really fast and the plot is really sorta disjointed to get the whole story across in about an hour and ten minutes. The art direction is solid, Jonah's prosthetic makeup looks good, and the bringing people back from the dead thing is neat and relatively well executed. It's not the worst thing I've seen, definitely not worth paying for it but if you see it on a streaming service, like the character and have an hour to kill it's not a bad time.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
