Rhinestone Cowboys Vs Snarky Aliens

My husband, the erstwhile Louis L'amour fan, wanted to watch the movie "Cowboys & Aliens".  As a Steven Spielberg movie, how could we go wrong? Well,  Steven Spielberg doesn't hit the high notes all the time.  This was one of those times.  While the movie was not bad, and it did have some humor, I expected a lot more humor just from the title.  I expected the awesome feeling at the end of the movie when the bad guy's behind gets kicked into outer space, and didn't get that. Daniel Craig (Mr. Bond himself) looks like a mix between a Steve McQueen with a hint of a brooding Paul Newman.  Harrison Ford had COMA (Crotchety Old Man Affliction) and played out his crotchety-ness with no effort.  Those were the highlights.  You have to be a cowboy (not the team - the people) fan to enjoy this movie.  The old Clint Eastwood movies did not do much for me... but Srikanth loves them and can watch them over and over again. Like a Hindi movie,  this one was predictable
