Cowboys & Aliens

Disparate total que era de esperar segundo o título. Por sorte é bastante engraçado e divertido de ver, as poucas frases valeram a pena. Os índios atirando flechas a criaturas espaciais com arcos é definitivamente a coisa mais louca a ver nos cinemas este verão, exceto talvez Os Smurfs. Perfeitamente louco. Afinal, já há coisas ilógicas suficientes, Olivia Wilde é tão irritante como aquele miúdo mexicano, e é uma enorme pena que o duro Ford se amoleça no último terço. Uma diversão pouco exigente? Sem dúvidas. (11/08/2011)

Uma ideia «espantosa», que nuns segundos estragou a mensagem do quarto Indiana, prolongada em duas horas. Parece bom no início: O cowboy feroz de Craig é fixe, o mundo de western é bem-feito, o primeiro contacto com os extraterrestres é mágico, o humor e a leveza são adequados, os efeitos visuais são perfeitos, e os E. T.s são consideravelmente melhores do que a toupeira de Super 8. A partir da cena de saída do incêndio, porém, as boas impressões começam a diminuir, e a cadência subsequente de relações entre personagens clichés mal-feitos e de momentos ilógicos nas cenas de ação enterra tudo. Os argumentistas pensavam que quanto mais se divertiam, mais o espetador se divertia... Cowboys e índios das pradarias americanas, unam-se num mundo idealista contra os nazis extraterrestres que pensam que vocês são insetos e querem roubar o vosso ouro! — Bullshit. (14/09/2011)

I am afraid that the length and content of the script did not exceed the title of the film, which promised a great adventure, and in combination with the talented creative team, ideal popcorn entertainment. The first approximately 15 minutes are divine, Craig is the ultimate tough guy, the canvas shirts smell of sweat, and everyone is carrying their guns low. Then Ford enters the scene, showcasing the most ridiculous toughness in the history of the Wild West, and everything is crowned by an absolutely asexual outfit à la Olivia Wilde's nightgown. The plot takes place in a total of 3 larger locations (with the majority of them being the wasteland of New Mexico), a larger amount of ILM fantasizing, so you can also search for it under a microscope, which raises the question: where did the 163 million from the budget go? From the beginning of the second third, it's perpetually echoing boredom, which this commercial failure fully deserves. The worst blockbuster from approximately 2-3 years ago. (27/01/2012)

I was really excited to see this, even despite the strange and incomprehensible story. I thought that nothing can be more surprising than a fight between the 19th century cowboys and aliens who decide to visit an arid town in the middle of the American prairie. Let’s face it, it was all a load of hogwash, but I must admit that I had fun. The actors were cool. Their performances were standard. Harrison Ford’s might have been a bit better. He’ll probably always be charismatic. In any case, the movie’s main currency were special effects – and the authors really put a lot of work into those. It’s true that the story starts getting insane halfway through, but I didn’t really mind that much. I enjoyed it and I think that at the cinema, this experience would’ve been on a whole new level.

Wow! There really isn’t even a pinch of humour. Something like Cowboys and Aliens could never be good this way, even with the greatest genius behind the camera. To make with a serious face a film where a group of cowboys and Indians avert an invasion of aliens that have come to earth to mine gold (oops, spoiler) is mental. If it at least looked good, but no, not even that, it’s just two hours of grey and boredom. Not even the aliens are good! (20/11/2011)
