Cowboys and Idiots

I went to see Cowboys and Aliens yesterday, and I was unimpressed. It didn't deliver the thrills and insanity that you'd expect from a movie entitled something as ludicrous as 'Cowboys and Aliens'. What's more disappointing is that it was directed by John Favreau, the same guy who directed Iron Man.
That said, the wrist-thingy was incredible. I want one.
The plot was completely incomprehensible. Let's count the different plots and loose ends, SHALL WE?
1) Daniel Craig/wrist thingy
2) Daniel Craig & Olivia Wilde
3) Daniel Craig/ memory loss
4) Daniel Craig & dead wife
5) Harrison Ford & Daniel Craig
6) Harrison Ford & son
7) Harrison Ford & adopted son (who he really likes more than actual son)
8) Olivia Wilde/ aliens
9) Oliva Wilde is actually an alien (oops! spoiler!)
10) Indian Chief & indians
11) Indian Chief & Harrison Ford
12) Indian Chief & Harrison Ford's adopted son, who is an indian himself.
13) Harrison Ford & little kid
14) Little kid & Grandpa (who dies)
15) Daniel Craig & past life (he was a bandit)
16) Bartender & wife
17) Bartender can't shoot a gun
18) Bartender & little kid's grandpa
19) Oh, and then there's the aliens.

Because all these plots have to intertwine, there's very little time left in the movie for any Cowboys Vs Aliens battles. I won't spoil it for you any more, but just don't bother going to see it. It's a waste of Harrison Ford. I gotta go with Rotten Tomatoes on this one-- 4/10 stars.
Bye!
