(Yeah. Posting the trailer would help, huh. Apologies. -- DR

And now fixed! And having watched it...meh. It blows stuff up, Jonah is pissed, and let's face it, whether you like her or not as a person Megan Fox is attractive.

Basically, it looks like your basic summer teen. And there you go.

Aw, now, you didn't misinterpret my comment as being anti-Fox, did you? She does some fine actressin' in that there clip. And yeah, it looks like pure stupid fun, which is good since I'm like to be dragged to see it. That's the problem with living with boys.

Me likey explosions.

Eh. Looks like a decent enough way to waste a few hours on a hot day.

Actorin' aside, Fox's accent is a legit Southern one. I grew up in the South and there are literally hundreds of different southern accents - I've known quite a few people from deep south speak like her character. They don't pout as much, though.

Whatever haters. Josh Brolin + Malkovitch + Wild West(ish possibly Southern) themes = a lovely summer escape into an air conditioned matinee. Megan Fox can take a long walk off a short pier though.

They kinda dirtied up Megan Fox for the movie. She isn't glistening and perfectly coiffed at all times (see: Transformers), so at least there's that. And she's so skinny that the corset looks big on her, like she's trying on mommy's clothes. Strange to look at.

It's never a good sign when your trailer has a flash back to an earlier scene in the trailer.

It's gonna BOMB. Airbender, too.

I, um, don't really know what to think. There were a lot of explosions, though. And what's not to like about Josh Brolin? Megan Fox doesn't bother me. And hey, it's John Malkovich playing his bad-guy role. I suspect this'll be missed like most movies--hell, I hardly make it to the theater to see the ones I really want to.

It's like a cross between Wild Wild West + Ghost Rider + Van Helsing!

How could you possibly not want to go see this? I bet it's gonna clean house at the MTV Movie Awards! ZOMG!

I never heard a word about Malkovich in this. I hope he yells a lot.

As a southerner, I hate it when an 'actor' equates a southern accent with sounding lazy and stupid. Most of us do have the ability to enunciate and not sound like we are half asleep when we speak. I am assuming that since she can't act her way out of a paper bag, she herself is lazy and stupid and that is why she sounds like that.

The rest of the trailer looks kind of fun and weird. Did I see a crow crawling out of Brolin's mouth at one point? Freaky. I looked up the IMDB page, the cast is huge, that was Will Arnett, HappyGobo, and I did not see Lance Reddick listed in the credits, oddly enough because that is clearly him in the movie. I did notice every single female role is that of a prostitute. They can make a horse appear to tolerate enormous chain guns strapped to its sides but writing in a woman as a non-hooker is too much suspension of disbelief, I guess.

Weren't all women in the Old West prostitutes?

/sarcasm font, people

For those of you saying this isn't like the comic book, I have to say that's to be expected.

In the original comic, Hex is sold to the Apaches as a slave by his father. After saving the life of the chief at age 15, he is betrayed by the chief's biological son and almost dies in a raid on a rival tribe.

The chief decides to settle the issue by making them duel with tomahawks. Before the fight, Hex's tomahawk is sabatoged by the son before the fight and breaks during the battle. Hex then uses a knife to kill the son, but is banished by the tribe for cheating. And for good measure, they brand him much like the scene in the trailer.

But maybe the comic purists have a point. I mean, if you can't put stereotype Native Americans on the big screen these days; why even go to the cinema?

@Anderbot:
Everyone can be seen as a 'stereotype' in this. The surly gunslinger, the hooker with a heart of gold, the evil rich man, etc. Why would it suddenly be a problem with the Native Americans?

Besides, they are pretty much never shown as the bad guys in the comics. Usually they're the victims of the Evil White Man, and even Hex's branding was not because they were 'evil'. Just the chief's son was a cheat and sadly for Hex no one saw that. Hardly an example of bad portrayals of Native Americans.

And while I agree his real story is too convoluted to literally adopt (let's not forget his Civil War past and his REAL connection to Turnbull) it still didn't have to be this cliched. Or dumbed down. Or silly and stupid looking.

And there was really no need for the magic powers and the gadget guns.

I'm with you, Viking. When people do a "Southern accent", I get a bit stabby. Is it from Texas or Lousiana? Georgia southern sounds COMPLETELY different than Texas southern.

I work with a lot of Brits, and I asked them once about doing an English accent, and he just laughed. He asked, "Well, do you want to sound like me, or like Dave? Or how about Ian? England is a pretty big place."

Why would it suddenly be a problem with the Native Americans?
Maybe because of the history of stereotypical and degrading depictions of Native Americans and the present lack of counter-balancing representations? I mean, there are a fair few versions of White Dude out there. It's not the same thing.

Sorry to pick on you Arco that argument just annoys me.

Funny, this movie looks like it will be terrifyingly similar to wild wild west. Which definitely is not a good thing, (Also ghost rider). And by god cant they cast a good actress who isnt just looks, and has actual acting chops.

Whatever this movie isnt "Jonah hex" its slap stick western supernatural retardation.
