This was a nice twist on an action hero. I was unaware of the John Hex comic book figure. It was strangely entertaining and when viewed as a simplistic comic book brought to the screen, ..enjoyable. It was well worth the price and I would watch a sequel.

Hollywood gets it wrong again. Josh Brolin is too old and not convincing enough to play Jonah Hex and he has the wrong color hair for the part. Jonah Hex can't make the dead come alive again and he wasn't cursed by Native Americans. Jonah Hex was just the toughest and most ruthless bounty hunter in the old west of DC Comics. (Think Bobba Fett meets Clint Eastwood with a splash of Wolverine thrown in.) Plus, in the comics, Jonah Hex's damaged face was always in the shadows, which I thought was always way cool. You only got to see Hex's wounded facial features when you were about to die from his blazing guns. Instead of all this awful supernatural zombie stuff, the movie should've just focused on how hard it was for Jonah Hex to earn his wanted poster money and to keep his reputation as one of the most dangerous bounty hunters in the .old west.Read full review

Josh Brolin is Jonah Hex. A former Civil War Officer who's wife and children were murdered by Turnbull (John Malkovic) after he refused to follow orders to kill innocent civilians during the war. Turnbull also branded Jonah as a coward. After being rescued from certain death by Indians, Jonah vowed to get even and set out on a life to rid the world of wrong doers. Megan Fox (Transformers) plays Jonah's lover in this movie. This DC Comic made movie is yet another in a long line of comic book movies that have hit the screen lately and this one is just as good and entertaining as the others. Brolin gives a good performance and the movie is just the right length to keep your interest. The Movie also stars: Will Arnett, Michael Fassbender, and John Gallagher Jr. The movie is dark and parents should screen it before they allow younger viewers to watch.Read full review
awesome movie loved it During the American Civil War, Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) served as a Confederate cavalryman until his commanding officer, Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich), a general for the Confederates who is obsessed with the fall of the Union, ordered him to burn down a hospital. Hex refused, and was forced to kill his best friend, Turnbull's son Jeb. After the war, a vengeful Turnbull and his right-hand man, Burke (Michael Fassbender), a psychopathic man who often takes pleasure in those he kills or torments, tie up Hex and force him to watch as his house is burned down with his wife and son inside. Turnbull then brands Hex's face with his initials, "QT", and leaves him to die of thirst or exposure. Days later, American Indians find Jonah and revive him with their mystical powers. While they did manage to bring Jonah, for the most part, back from the dead, it is stated that they couldn't bring all of him back. As a result Jonah acquired the ability to, as long as he maintains physical contact with the corpse, temporarily resurrect and communicate with the dead, bringing the corpse physically and mentally back to its condition prior to death (apparently, only Jonah sees them restored like that. To everyone else, they continue to seem decayed and lifeless). It is also explained that the fresher the dead, the quicker that body begins to burn up as they are being touched. Once contact is broken, the corpse instantaneously reverts back to its former, lifeless condition. When Turnbull apparently dies in a hotel fire, Hex satisfies his hunger for vengeance by turning to bounty hunting. In 1876, Hex rides into the town of Stunk Crick with four dead outlaws and demands his bounty, only to realize that the mayor and sheriff have no intention of paying, intending instead to kill Hex for his own bounty. Hex instead kills them and several sheriff's deputies, collects his bounty from the dead mayor's pockets, and leaves. In another part of the country, Turnbull, alive and well, orchestrates the hijacking of a train carrying components of a classified weapon, slaughtering its military guards and civilian passengers alike. When informed of the theft, President Grant (Aidan Quinn) surmises that Turnbull is planning a terrorist attack for July 4, during the celebration of the American centennial. Grant instructs Army Lieutenant Grass (Will Arnett) to find Hex and hire him to stop Turnbull. Jonah goes to a brothel and spends the night with Lilah (Megan Fox), a prostitute attracted to the disfigured man for more than just professional reasons. As Jonah prepares to leave the next morning, Grass' men burst in and tell Jonah that Turnbull is still alive. They show him a captured thug from the train hijacking who told them Turnbull is headed northwest, before dying during interrogation. But Jonah briefly resurrects the man and learns that he has no knowledge of Turnbull's whereabouts; the best he can do is tell who recruited him: ex-Colonel Slocum (Tom Wopat), who is running an illegal deathmatch pavilion in South Carolina, to the southeast. With the help of a corrupt Washington aristocrat, Adleman Lusk (Wes Bentley), Turnbull tracks down and steals the remaining components of the weapon he is seeking. When Hex confronts Slocum in South Carolina, Slocum refuses to talk, sarcastically telling Hex to ask Turnbull's dead son, Jeb, where his father is.Read full review
