My think: it’s very good

Then came August 2011 and on cinema screens picture appears under the name “Cowboys and Aliens. Three studios have concluded co-operation among themselves to be involved in the production of this picture. The money is not spared, and a budget of $ 163 million of U.S. currency. Now we need to find a director who will head this project. Such a man was Jon Favreau, who advised Robert Downey Jr.. The actor had planned to play the role of the protagonist, but due to the filming of “Sherlock Holmes. Game of Shadows “, he refused to participate in the” Cowboys. ” So in its place was invited Daniel Craig. Also appeared in the movie, Harrison Ford, who remembered the audience on the role of Indiana Jones. About the film “Cowboys and Aliens” will be my review.

This picture tells us about the end of the XIX century. In one town, Arizona, by a man who has lost memory. In this settlement, he realizes that the people in it than a scared and gently take the new people. They strikes fear strange phenomena that come from the sky and takes away everything they want. Meanwhile, the little wanderer recalls his life and realizes that only he can help the city.

Now let’s talk about directing this film. After the second part of the “Iron Man” took not much time, and Jon Favreau has released a new picture. With the “cowboy” he coped remarkably and professionally. I liked that he managed to convey quite correct atmosphere of the Wild West. This fact gives the film a huge plus, which has beneficial effects on the viewer’s attention. He kept all the traditions of the genre – Westerns. For that he some praise. In addition to cowboy shooting, he placed the great episodes, which contain conversations quiet heroes. They look great and make a positive impression. But you can not do without music. Favreau has found an excellent composer, who wrote the wonderful music that complements and so great atmosphere created by the director.

Now let’s talk about the script. I really enjoyed it. Of course, it is very original and unusual. Writers perfectly woven together two genres: western and science fiction. I’m not going to argue, the idea at first glance looks absurd. But this has not been, and it is commendable that the directors took a chance and agreed to the project. Writers well be added to the classic western story of fantastic action. And, you know, they are in perfect harmony with each other. My applause for the writers justified the risk.

In the film, there are to Hollywood stars. On each, I will say a few words. First, who gets under my positive criticism – it’s Harrison Ford. His goal was to play a stern but noble man who respects the traditions of the Wild West. This hero is perfectly successful Ford. He perfectly accustomed to the image and gave the audience a perfect cowboy. The second actor – Daniel Craig. He, like Harrison Ford, well accustomed to his hero. He got a perfect man of the Wild West, which resembles a man who likes to wander on its land in Texas.

As a result, reviews say that the film is worthy and deserves audience’s attention. Honestly, when I came out of the cinema hall, I could not answer the question: “What mark to put this picture.” I thought the scores between 9 and 10. The first assessment seemed to me a little. Second, great. But in the end, some thought, I decided that I need to make concessions, and so my rating:

10 of 10

Zick: good film

Well, I looked at the new Jon Favreau film “Cowboys and Aliens.” Starring in the blockbuster movie starring a very modest Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde as well.

What narrates the film. In the early 70s XIXveka in a small dusty town, located in the Wild West, from the desert comes a stranger. Or not, we will begin vsezh from the beginning. In the desert comes to life ragged stranger with a manly face D. Craig. He does not remember anything about himself – but he has brilliantly cold and firearms … And so he arrives in town already on horseback, relatively well-dressed and well armed. And left in the desert as a kind of redemption ample pickings for the vultures … And here he is a typical western town, the same that are familiar to us in dozens of westerns views, walks into a bar, drinking whiskey … And incidentally acquainted with the local inhabitants – a pastor, doctor, bartender, as well as arrogant son of a local ranching tycoon. The very same that was “very credible herder”, nicknamed Colonel plays none other than himself, Harrison Ford. Before us is complete hell-raisers old, harsh and brutal thug who has learned to kill and torture people from the Indians, a man past several civic and Indian Wars … More everything went according to thumb, all as expected in a typical Western. There are two tough guys, a complete villain, the other seems to be a real “bad guy with a heart of gold.” Well, there is also a woman painted on the horizon … and it obviously went to great shooting disassembly of Colt, Remington and hard drives – but suddenly came they. The lights of heaven, sowing chaos and drags people with him … And so even the enemies had to unite in order to jointly oppose either demons, or monsters from the sky …

But it went further action either at a gallop, or just went to take off … then there is no need to disclose the plot. I will say this – in this film are mixed it all: the good old westerns, movies about aliens and UFOs, dashing fighter was mixed with a thriller on the brink of horror … In short, they took the same “John Hex” and “Alien,” “The X-Files” and the last ( 4th), “Terminator”, diluted with all the latest “train to Yuma” reminded of the third part of “Back to the Future,” delivered at the principal role of charismatic actors … + a scene from the “iron grip” … And it turned out! I’ll be honest – I liked this movie. Yes, it does not call a masterpiece. But there is in it for some old-fashioned, and at the same time, it is mod charm … Craig is just above all praise. Sincere he bravo! This is his role PMSM can safely put it next to the way an agent of 007 N on the recent “Casino” Royaal. ” Charisma, toughness and at the same time a kind of warmth … Ford was also quite good. Especially after the story about the knife, about what had happened to him once in the campaign against the Apaches … and polegshih guys in a cornfield …

Jon Favreau took a peculiar film. It will certainly cause the viewer a mixed reaction. But if you like westerns, if you enjoy spirited fiction thriller – you will certainly enjoy and ‘Cowboys and Aliens. ” The film – a kind of healthy and very vigorous kinohuliganstvo, it was a pleasure to watch, unlike, oh my God, “the elusive Luke” … brrr.

Summary: A nice movie. This is not a blockbuster for the most popkornovy that either there is a mass audience, and it’s not an elitist film copyright. It’s just a nice movie, honestly helps the viewer to while away an evening. A beautiful film …

Blade: The first contact, as the first pancake is always lumpy.

An intriguing film, which gathered under its banner not only a good and professional actors, but also a significant producer, whose name evokes a storm of applause. Outset about the cast, which is its scope and authority pushes us onto the shoulders. If you live Bonde, who is involved in this film needed a colorful antagonist, which is not only a role, but his presence is able to direct to delight any audience, from nursery to senior. The choice was not random, because come to mind are just a few names, the number of which will fit on the fingers of both hands. Harrison Ford, the undisputed candidate for this role, which not only helped to experience the film, but made it possible for Bond becoming conceited because equal, these two colorful person in the pair looked like a glove and did not want to change anything, did not want anything to supplement. Play together and do not overshadow each other of their stardom, people could only professional and knowledgeable place. Ensemble has turned out to be surprisingly coherent and harmonious, one can see that the people responsible for the selection, were able to do their job perfectly well.

The idea of ​​this film is painfully mundane, though not deprived of its zest. All of these alien antics, when a person wakes up and remembers who he is and what he, and then sent to rescue people, this is news from the series – ordinariness twenty-first century. This is now rarely surprise anyone, rarely, someone will take it seriously. That’s why the idea to move during the alien cowboys, initially perceived as a mundane part of our meager imagination. But after the film came out, doubts remained, and even eat, but you will agree, the picture turned out a harmonious, but the main thing is not cutting his eyes. And stuff like crude, and implementation of a bit tight, and sometimes it even seems that we can safely cut the film to a minimum, but this does not prevent him to carry a positive and happy viewing. Each frame is not a challenge to himself, rather, people working in normal mode, doing what do best. The banal idea, overgrown with good detail, and whom we tried to convince.

The special effects in the film normal, nothing new, nothing extravagant is not here. All modestly seen the director did not want to do on this focus, and therefore considered only if the movie will be the minimum, then it will look with ease. And it did, such as the eyes see a big ship, but in fact it seems that nothing good will come of it.

The painting, in fact, is not meaningless, it has a logical start, logical end, even the special effects there are, but the material is slightly moist, slightly modified to polish, if we look at an unfinished version of which has not yet middle of painting the final touches.

But despite all this, the work done now, causes a storm of positive emotions. Beautiful and professional actors who have played for a solid four, interesting plot lines, filled with something extraordinary, it’s all stuck together and together make the picture watchable.

Chris: Genre cocktail

Is it worth a new picture of Jon Favreau’s “Cowboys and Aliens” view? It is, if you 1) nostalgiruete forgotten by modern Western genre cinema (“True Grit” does not count), 2) venerates science fiction, and at one time bought from retail toy figures of others, and 3) amateur creative director Jon Favreau, 4) respect and adore Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde, all together or separately, 5) do you like eclectic, ie a combination of different styles and genres. If you do not get under any item, it is better to refrain from viewing, because the majority of these things seem absurd movie, stupid and nesmotribelnym, and somebody finds it its charm and allure. I certainly am to the latter.

In general, eclecticism is not new to cinema, as it may seem unsophisticated audience. In the not too distant 2008, the world had already seen something like that gave us Favreau. The film “The Vikings”, which is not much known, but not too bad. True, there aliens caught in the dense forests of uncivilized Vikings. Favreau has deserted them in the hot plains of the Wild West, and forced to fight the tough guys in cowboy hats.

Wait for something unique from the plot in such a product film is just silly and pointless. For originality here and do not smell. The plot is linear and is developing well in a straight, occasionally wagging, but quite a bit, so that the viewer will not notice. Chronotope of the road can be traced very clearly. Heroes to the goal, then travel to her during this time, their paths must meet some obstacles, eventually they reach the desired outcome and there. It’s simple, accessible and unpretentious. But we must pay tribute to the director. This banal and many viewers bored plot Favreau could present qualitatively and soundly, using all possibilities, ie, different actors and cool special effects. And, despite the predictability of the action while watching the film with interest. And this is important.

Panoramas of the Wild West is impressive. Long canyons that conceal their uncertainty in the rocks, scorching sun, which burns the skin glows and earth, dry sand underfoot, blue skies overhead and no sign of rain. Dry, empty, hot and dull. Rare trees, trying to put down roots in this land not adapted to life, make their way to the light, the sun dries them immediately its scorching rays. Here is a picture of this Wild West, a time when the cowboys were in honor, and wide-brimmed hats were considered fashionable. And amid all this beauty inflames people struggle with alien monsters. Flared up spectacularly, beautifully. Everything blows up, the pillars of the sand fly in the air, firing guns, you hear the whistle of bullets clatter of hooves, the neighing of horses, the cries and screams of people. And the earth turns into a minefield on a variety of projectiles that are flying above. In short, fans of action games like that.

It would seem that the ideological can be in a project that looked more like entertainment than a blockbuster, something intelligent and not empty. But, as he wrote at the time Krylov, moral of the story. Sacrifice, the desire to protect their loved ones and friends from all afflictions. And let it in an allegorical sense, presented to, but do not grasp it is extremely difficult. And let this truth is overwritten to the holes, but very relevant. Always has been and will be.

The actors are very good and organic in the images. Daniel Craig (author crazy about him and can not be adequate) is incredibly tough, courageous and just gorgeous in every way. That his stern gaze and frown, the ability to cut down a pair of hand movements of the enemy and save the world once again make it a wholly-owned hero summer blockbuster. Harrison Ford proves that it is too early to write off. And Olivia Wilde stunning almond-shaped eyes. In addition, she is responsible for all of the femininity of male film. And still want to highlight Sam Rockwell. The role is not very big and not central, but he remembered his sparkling, lively game.

I wanted to get from the movie “Cowboys vs. Aliens” excellent entertaining spectacle. And I got it. Yes, the plot is trivial and completely devoid of originality, but also more predictable and absurd. But the film looks with interest, on a couple of moments of forces start, the picture is beautiful and spectacular, and the actors are good. Why is only one Daniel Craig is worth. And so, despite its absurdity, I liked the movie. And this is the most important.

P. S. Wonderful dog. So quickly ran the entire film, loud barking, wagged its tail and desperately looking to understand. Charming animal.

Elina: James Bond and Indiana Jones in one movie!

Recently went with a friend in the movie “Cowboys and Aliens.” From the movie I was expecting very little. Expected to see good special effects and beautiful battles. All this I saw in this film. Even more! Even I can say that it is not a bad story, interesting characters and beautiful scenery.

The film was in my list of expectations. I was immediately interested in this film. Because a lot of movies where the soldiers, Marines fought with aliens (an alien invasion battle for Los Angeles) or ordinary people trying to fight (or rather to escape) from the newcomers (Skyline), but when cowboys and aliens in a movie. It was not yet! Get some blending of two genres: adventure western and science fiction. But the major western genre film!

All movies about aliens with something similar. And this film is not an exception! The final scene (I will not sploirit and so I will not describe this scene) is reminiscent of the “Skyline”. Or the aliens, they are somewhat reminiscent of the same “alien invasion” or even “Transformers 3″.

The film’s director Jon Favreau. He took two parts of “Iron Man.” The so-called shackles on the wrist of the protagonist of the film, which also shoot lasers, reminiscent of that “Iron Man.” Craig practical as well shoot his “hand”, as did Robert Downey Jr..

As for the actors. Three actors can be found at once, without the end credits. This is Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde. One was playing James Bond and the other Indiana Jones and the third played 13 of the Hausa and doctors have played in the movie Tron Legacy. The actors play very well, and not only these! All the actors played great!

Pleased dubbing the film. The characters were very well voiced. Especially liked the voice of characters Vudrova (Harrison Ford) and his son Percy (Paul Dano).

Returning to the newcomers. What is the purpose of not only flew aliens to Earth, and to take our resources and took them people, and so on and so forth, and here to you, came for the gold. Especially since they are not simply picked up, but still melted directly on the earth. The aliens even left his ship somewhere in the desert! Boldly! Oh well!

Outcome:

The film was not a masterpiece! Far from it! But the attention he deserves! The result was not a bad summer blockbuster! As “Iron Man”. Go to the movies on this film is worth. But if these films (with special effects, explosions and aliens, etc.) you prefer to watch a DVD, you can watch this film at home.

And the way to the Cowboys is not only, Marines and ordinary people struggling with the newcomers, but also the Vikings! But this is not so important!

My rating:

8 of 10

The film was not a masterpiece! But it is worthy of your attention!
