Is it fun-bad or just bad-bad?

I love embarassingly bad cinema. I love what-were-they-thinking suckfests.
I do, however, dislike bland products like Rush Hour 3 that are simply soulless and terrible.
If I pay 5'50$ for Jonah Hex, will I get my money's worth?

If you mean what you say, you'll love
Jonah Hex
. It's far more what-were-they-thinking than soulless or bland.
Jonah Hex
has two souls, from two directors, where you can literally tell where scenes from one plot/story/director have been interspersed into an utterly different story from a different director, in order to "salvage" a story from something was discarded/reshot.
It's actually kind of an interesting jumble, once you know this. Kind of like a freeway pile up is interesting. -

No, it's fun-bad IMO. I was able to see it twice - the first time I saw it I saw the few that were in it enjoy it; the second time had a larger audience and they appeared to have a good time. Hey, it's a film that doesn't require much thought to enjoy; if you try to be critical about it, then you will certainly not enjoy it.

Imagine Wild, Wild West with Will Smith where the villain is trying to take over the country with "modern weapon", in this case with land mines instead of a giant mechanical spider but WITHOUT the comedy!
Throw in a dash of Native American magic that allow Hex to talk to the dead! -

Some friends and I rented the movie last night. It's not the best made movie, it felt like a lot of it had been left on the cutting room floor. I thought Megan Fox was a weird choice and didn't think she brought anything extra to the movie.
I can see where people who are fans of the comic would be disappointed, but I think for someone like me it was ok. I think there should have been more of a story. -

No comparison for me, I thought Will Smiths WILD WILD WEST totally sucked. I'll say it again, I liked this one. I'd have prefered it go over the top extreme with an R rating. I liked Josh Brolin in this, I thought Megan Fox was absolutely gorgeous and is the finest saloon whore I've ever seen in a western( damn, what a tiny waistline in that corset), I liked the gattling gun pony and the dynamite firing handguns, and John Malcovich playing a scumbag, always a positive thing. Not sure what power source Eli Whitney had whipped up to detonite those cannonball thingys, same stuff in the PULP FICTION briefcase I assume. Could it have been much better, hell yes, but did it make my popcorn taste sh!tier? No. Worth a rental.

Same here. WWW is the worst movie ever, and this was OK at the very least. I like westerns, I like modern action flicks, I like Brolin and Malkovitch, so this was pretty enjoyable on a 'turn off your brain and enjoy' kind of way. I know to some this didn't even hit those notes, but to me it did.
The opening and closing action scenes are worth watching at the very least

It's bad-bad.
As a fan of the comic I didn't bother to see it in the theater because of t he way they butchered the source material, but I did watch it for free at a buddy's house
and I still felt that he should have given me some money back for having to sit through it.
