Daniel Craig, in particular, has a face fit for westerns.

Hed be a great player in a western flick.

Really, thats one of the problems I had withCowboys & Aliens.

were very good, and very satisfying.

The more science fiction-y parts of the film were a bit of a letdown.

The action in this movie doesnt really work quite as well as it should, which is disappointing.

Its more likeIron Man 2, in that its a little too unfocused.

If fifteen to thirty minutes had been cut from the movie, it would improve things greatly.

Favreaus a great director of actors, but hes not exactly a steady hand with action quite yet.

Hes got the potential, but he leans too much on the same things.

So, he just keeps repeating those awesome sequences until they become boring.

Although, the first few times you see some of these scenes, its pretty cool.

An entertaining disappointment, but still a disappointment.

UScorrespondent Ron Hogan has always been a fan of dressing like a cowboy for Halloween.

Hes never dressed like an alien, but that seems cool too.
