Movie Mondays: Cowboys and Aliens

I had no desire to see this movie, but a friend just had to watch it the other night. What a waste of two plus hours. I don't like to bash, but honestly, the seriousness with which Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig tried to play these characters completed makes me feel okay about bashing it. You are in the old West. Fighting aliens.
Maybe crack a few smiles?
Tell a few jokes?
Acknowledge in some way the ridiculous scenario you are in and have a little fun with it?
But no, they tried to go through the entire movie like it really was life or death. What could have been an amusing movie went down the toilet because of the serious tone and take on the script. Who would look at the plot and think, wow, this is such a great movie? I have to sign up to be in this immediately?
And before you think I am too girly to appreciate macho movies, let me stop you. Two of my favorite movies of all time are The Dark Knight and Fight Club.
If you find yourself in a situation where someone tries to convince you to watch this movie, make like you just saw an alien and run. Run far, far away.
