I started reading the Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti JONAH HEX series recently and am loving it. Classic done-in-one western stories.
I dont think Ill be seeing the HEX movie though, despite what looks like another fantastic performance from Josh Brolin. I dont like the mystical powers that they have given Hex its clearly an example of Hollywood being scared to do a traditional western, and not getting that comic books dont have to be comic-booky.
The one thing that may tempt me to check it out would be the performances, since a movie with Brolin, John Malkovich and Gob Bluth cannot be all bad. The one character Im most excited about though is Michael Fassbenders Burke, looking like he just stepped off the set of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. He looks like he really let loose and had a lot of fun with this role. Fassbender, in my humble opinion, is also the guy that Warner Bros and EON should be looking to when it comes time to cast Green Arrow and a new James Bond, respectively.
I think it may have been a good idea to have Megan Fox play the great Tallulah Black character from the recent comics, since thats a role I can see her doing a really good job with. Due to that character having a mug thats been carved-up as much as Jonah Hexs, it could lead to her to be recognised as a more able actor than what she is generally seen as, i.e. playing the hot piece of ass character in Michael Bay movies.
Theres my 2cents, ya sons-a-*****es.
