Cowboys and Aliens

I nearly went to see this film for my birthday last year, until mum admitted she didn't actually want to see a film. I'm kind of glad we didn't go, it wasn't a birthday film.
Violent. Messy. Not much, because 12, but still, grimy beige with splashes of blood.
I nearly gave up on it at dead woman, because there's one woman and then dead, but there was another twist and it got interesting again.
Actually there were three women, but I don't count fridged motivation as characters really.
But all of them were basic types really. All the beats were therefore predictable, in the western story. The alien story... didn't add much.
So I wasn't impressed.
But I can watch Daniel Craig at length and so that works out.
(Though I can't figure out why he's attractive. It's not the face. I think it's something between the way he moves and the attitude.)
Also, I did not previously have a thing for those leather cowboy trouser thingies, but he do wear them well.
Yesterday I was doing character design and idly thinking on how to combine Han Solo and Indiana Jones.
I think you get the Cowboys and Aliens look, black waistcoat over off white shirt with brown hat and trousers.
I guess tough guys have a limited wardrobe.
Hmmm, that really is about all I have to say about this one.
Eh. Films rarely impress.
