Critics Consensus

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

Anthony Quinn

Independent (UK)

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

Guardian

It just gets louder and more nonsensical as it progresses, with Fox shoe-horned into as many scenes as possible.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

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

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

I really don't think it was that bad, but far from great. It was just the most generic superhero film you could watch. If we had more time to develop the characters and strengthen the plot, this would have been much more enjoyable. I really enjoyed the western theming here too. Josh Brolin fit the role very well.

I have no idea why the rating on the movie is so low? Great cast.. quick revenge story.. exciting, fun and ahead of its time. Put aside the hate. I liked this movie!

This movie didn't keep my attention at all. I'll try again someday. Until then, 1 star is being generous.

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.
