Critics Consensus: Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford are as dependably appealing as ever, but they're let down by director Jon Favreau's inability to smooth Cowboys & Aliens' jarring tonal shifts.

The idea of Cowboys & Aliens is so wild that it's a shame the film doesn't make more of it.

Richard Propes

For a film that should have been out of this world, Cowboys & Aliens is disappointingly down to earth.

Commits the one cardinal sin that a movie with such a ridiculous concept absolutely cannot commit; it's boring.

The many dysfunctional features of the script translate into scenes that slow down the pace of the footage until it is disrupted, not infrequently, into an authentic trance. [Full Review in Spanish]

Cowboys and Aliens purports to be a genre mash-up, which means that somebody needed to figure out how to integrate Western tropes with sci-fi ones. Unfortunately, no one bothered.

Common Sense Says

Cool but predictable sci-fi Western has lots of violence.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this Western/sci-fi hybrid will definitely appeal to boys and fans of the two stars -- the new Bond (Daniel Craig) and the former Indy (Harrison Ford) -- but there are some violent scenes that may be too intense for tweens. Although it's light on romance -- just a couple of kisses and a few references to a prostitute -- the movie is heavy with explosive action (shootings, stabbings, and gruesome aliens) and has a high body count. Language includes words like "s--t" and "damn," and alcohol consumption is fairly high, considering that the cowboys spend most of their downtime drinking in a saloon. Despite a generally positive message about people banding together to fight a common enemy, the movie's violence can be overwhelming.
