Chicago Sun-Times
It's based on some DC Comics characters, which may explain the way the plot jumps around. We hear a lot about graphic novels, but this is more of a graphic anthology of strange occult ideas. - 50
Orlando Sentinel
Brolin is so damned good in the saddle, in the hat and in the part that a half-sober viewer could half forget how half-arsed this movie he's starring in is. - 50
Boston Globe
The only thing sadder than Jonah Hex is what appears to have happened to his movie. - 42
Tampa Bay Times
Jonah Hex isn't abrupt by design but by desperation. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
It admittedly starts off great guns, but all too quickly it becomes apparent that the big-screen arrival of the supernatural Western DC Comics series Jonah Hex"is firing loud, empty blanks. - 40
Variety
The film's noisy, slam-bang approach and lack of imagination in all nonvisual departments will keep it from rounding up a fresh generation of thrill-seekers. - 38
Philadelphia Inquirer
A mercifully fleet and lamentably uninteresting adaptation of the DC Comic about a war-weary Confederate soldier. - 30
Arizona Republic
Jonah Hex somehow manages to waste the talents of Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Michael Fassbender, Will Arnett, Aidan Quinn and Jeffrey Dean Morgan in a story that combines vengeance, the occult and an Old West war on terror (really).
