Cowboys
and Aliens
Quotes: B-Rate Pulp
(Total Quotes: 48)
This movie is a simple entertainment, but Cowboys and Aliens quotes lack the structure and consistency needed to make it a really great movie! The melodrama was a touch too ham-fisted and the high concept plot felt a little wasted but the simple structure of the storyline does seem to actually work, giving the audience enough action pieces to make it an entertaining ride. At best this movie is best described as B-rate pulp fiction delivered in an A-rate glossy package. Before watching this movie just make sure you put any high expectation aside, then you are free to enjoy a couple of hours of eye gloss.
