I’ll admit, I’ve deliberately kept myself out of the loop on the upcoming Jon Favreau directied Cowboys & Aliens. I didn’t want to know much going in, but then I broke down and saw the new trailer released today. It tells and interesting story. I won’t go into details, but after you watch it, I’ll give my thoughts.
Ok a couple thoughts:
- While amnesia is a played out storytelling device, mixing it with the arrival of aliens actually makes it compelling
- Hell, the mixture of the Old West with Sci-Fi elements is enough to get me to see it.
- Harrison Ford’s “They took my son!” Is Rifftrax fodder if I ever heard it, so it’s got that going for it.
- Shirtless Daniel Craig… for the ladies.
So yeah, I have faith in Favreau from Iron Man, so I’ll be going to see this. What do you all think?
