"They can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you... my only son."
Jonah Hex
Quentin Turnbull
- Origin story
Villain's plot:
Turnbull wants revenge on the nation for… losing the Civil War?
Rankings:
Josh Brolin is fantastic as Hex. Especially with his No Country for Old Men accent.
Fine? I mean, it’s a cowboy. The makeup is good though.
Notes
Another example of a movie that could have been done well, but failed miserably. It’s a cowboy movie with supernatural elements, why did it need to be a 47 million-dollar budget?? Why did it need a “superweapon”? Why did he die and get resurrected twice?
Million-dollar idea: Weekly Jonah Hex series in the style of The Mandalorian.
