One of the worst movies I've seen in long time. A terrible waste of acting talent and special effects. Was this movie financed by a religious... ? It was full of religious crap. Full Review

A truly disappointing movie. After watching the trailer I was eagerly waiting for the DVD release. What a waste! Weak story, and campy acting for all... artists. This movie had NO redeeming qualities. Full Review

While Cowboys & Aliens offers little in the way of sociological insight (except perhaps giving the white man a taste of his own resource-stealing medicine), it's still a ripping good ride.Full Review

Variety

The key to its success lies in the determination by everyone involved to play the damn thing straight. Even the slightest goofiness, the tiniest touch of camp, and the whole thing would blow sky high. But it doesn't.Full Review

The Hollywood Reporter

A hell-for-leather action film with a healthy serving of scares. It really is "Aliens" on the open plains, "Independence Day" for the nation's centennial, and what the movie lacks in originality and stick-to-your-ribs Western authenticity, it makes up for in pell-mell multiplex entertainment.Full Review

Cowboys & Aliens has without any doubt the most cockamamie plot I've witnessed in many a moon.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Take a cowboy movie, add space aliens. That's a gimmick that could easily have exhausted itself after 20 minutes, but director Favreau, a team of screenwriters and some well-cast actors keep it alive, and the result is a crowd-pleasing summer movie with more wit than most.Full Review
