Jonah Hex and the dragon balls

long time now Marvel has gained heading to DC in terms of real image film adaptations, though not in terms of animated feature films, an area where the subsidiary label of Warner's most remarkable films regularly presented quality. The publisher of Superman, Batman and company, however, know that you can not completely disregard the huge window that provides the film for its products, and, between blockbusters assumptions involved in its most emblematic heroes (such as the forthcoming adaptation of Green Lantern, the imminent release), allows production while minor works also focus on secondary characters, faces flavored production number "B" but with front row players or extremely popular, and "Jonah Hex" is a clear example.

"Jonah Hex" is the movie adaptation of western character of the same name edited by DC. Regardless of whether it is a most faithful comic book adaptation or not (which will not discuss because I do not know too much the character), the film in question is pure cinematic mediocrity, an unbroken succession of topics from beginning to end making it an entirely predictable and linear grotesque, extremely boring and completely devoid or attractive to the viewer (with the exception of the appeal that we can wake up Megan Fox, the partner -hero here, which but I doubt).

is curious desire to Hollywood in recent times impossible to mix genres in film, and the western seems to be a victim as scapegoat in this kind of experiments ... Does anyone remember "that" was called "Wild, wild west"? In this "thing" was intended to make a cocktail between western and science fiction, and so came the invention, in "Jonah Hex" spends three quarters of it (a lot of similarities with the previous one), besides being, as I indicated, a set of topicazos irritating: the hero who seeks revenge for the death of their loved ones, the megalomaniacal madman (center of revenge, of course) that has never developed a military device that destroys cities in seconds ... In the middle of the nineteenth century!, And used as detonators, care, yellow balls of unknown origin rather seems to have stolen the Goku, because the resemblance to the Dragon Ball is more than evident, the president seeking aid only to Jonah Hex (no more qualified people in the Union, seen) to stop the megalomaniac, who, how could it be otherwise, wants to destroy Washington by exploiting a high-profile celebration in the city (the centennial of the country), the inventor of weapons too modern (and therefore impossible), the go-Hex, and thus a topic after another until, by luck, this nonsense ends just before reaching the hour and a half ... It seems that their architects were aware of the obvious mediocrity of its setting and chose not to torture us too much.

Whoever wants to see a western today, with the intention of enjoying a good story of the West, you'll be terribly disappointed with "Jonah Hex" ... It was not my case because I know the origin of the character, but that does not preclude you do not feel chills when I see comes in the form of alleged Western film that is actually an impossible amalgam of gunmen, mad visionaries, weapons of mass destruction and a bounty hunter with powers ... Yes, with powers.

I would think that with all these predictable elements, "Jonah Hex" is intended to be an expensive tribute to a series "B" increasingly in decline (the audience is more demanding than a few years ago), but I think more it is an awkward in cinema has fallen into the hands of a director unable to draw lots with the high budget certainly has enjoyed, the best extraction this comic book hero, merely a rehash of genres to create a thousand times seen.
