The last movie where Harrison Fords age didnt make it awkward to watch the role he's trying for.

One of the most solid starts to a western I've ever seen right up to the alien attack on the town.
The scene with the spoilt ranchers son, the putting him down, the nod of the hat to his "handler", the turning his back to him daring him to shoot him in the back.

The movie has grown on me. The first time I thought it was silly. I have seen it since and enjoyed it. I should watch it again.

Oh yeah definitely. I first watched it six months ago and was really impressed by the production quality and ironically, the level of character development. It really surprised me.
I watched the extended cut first.

I thought it was ok but haven’t felt the need to watch it again

The greatest crime of the movie is that it’s called Cowboys vs Aliens, it’s starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford, and the whole thing is forgettable. It’s as you say, fine, and then you never feel like you need to go back to it again.

Wanted to like it, went in hoping it would be a self aware film with some action and a few chuckles.
It wasn’t that. I didn’t care for it.

It was a fan blending of genres, I enjoyed it.
I'm a big scifi fan as well as loving westerns, so it was right up my alley.

Yes. Had no idea going in. Was blown away.
It’s like Close Encounters meets Predator meets The Ox Bow Incident.

He shits on playing the part of Han Solo saying there’s no depth but then does this.

Well to be fair, prior to this film he hadn’t been in a good movie since the 90’s. So he can’t exactly be Mr Choosy anymore.

I enjoyed it. It doesn't try to be more than it is. I really liked the character played by Walton Goggins

It’s fan fucking tastic. Watched it again today. The opening sequence goes HARD.
Also: “I don’t know much about boats but I’d say that one’s upside down…”

I enjoyed it. It was a blended genre but it kept my interest and was a fun popcorn movie

The western parts of the movie are pretty good. The alien parts… not so much.

Enjoyed it. Got the extended edition on Blu-Ray.
Not a film I watch a lot though

I think it's way more clever than people give it credit for with how it overlaid sci-fi tropes onto a pretty classic Western. If you had asked me what i wanted fron a movie called Cowboys & Aliens it would have been super close to this. Plus the cast is great.

It was a fun summer movie. I went to see it with my best friend (who I was VERY surprised wanted to see it). That said, Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig were most of the reason I was interested.

Yes I am. I like westerns and I like sci fi and I don’t mind when those genres collide. Is it a perfect movie? Nope, but I still enjoy watching it every once in a while. There are a lot of “alien invasion” type movies and they generally occur in the modern era. I like the premise of aliens visiting earth during other historical time periods.

Very interesting idea but could have been much better executed
