A film to look forward to this summer.

Here's the trailer for "Cowboys vs Aliens".

I don't know... I don't trust this one. Something goofy about it. I'll probably wait until it's on DVD.

Just as I suspected, this movie seems to have turned out to be a joke. I hope no one wasted money on it unless you were looking for a way to waste time as well.

This is a ludicrous spectacle, one that could only possibly work if it's played for campy fun. Instead, Cowboys & Aliens establishes a menacing tone in its opening few minutes, one that a six-shooter-and-UFO combo platter can't possibly sustain. While there's some comic relief baked into the script, largely from Sam Rockwell's nebbishy bartender Doc, this is still a movie that expects you not to laugh when a horse keeps pace with a flying saucer. Too often, Cowboys & Aliens is ridiculous without being silly—the butt of its own joke.
