  • i loved the movie 5/5

  • My video begins with actual footage of a real U.F.O. My videos are not for the mainstream public! Normal folks "need not apply!" All of you A.B. Normal, strange weirdos will feel right at home here! Only a few individuals have deciphered the real meaning and warning hidden in the subliminal message. The Glirkazoids want you to trust them. They want you to come to accept them! They want to serve mankind!

  • i hated this movie i dont know why either! id give it a 0.75/5

  • LMAO the best part was DOLPHINS AND ALIENS. Great review, I loved the film. I totally agree that you must watch it in theaters, and understand what you mean by "having to turn your brain off but you should't have to." Yeah, I get that

  • "GET OFF MY PLANET!"

    I'm with Christian on this one. It was fine as a mindless popcorn flick, but I thought it had the potential to be better.

    I wonder if the title "Cowboys and Aliens" was meant to lower audiences' expectations going in so they'd end up liking the movie more.

  • 2/10 for me coz i dont like it much

  • I saw it today and I'm glad I did this was a solid movie, its not perfect but I thought it was a great hybrid movie that you don't see much nowadays.

  • the movie was awesome what did you guys think

  • O SH*T. I gotta steer clear of them dolphins now.

  • Daniel Craig was cool as hell, Harrison Ford was lame, and a lot of the plot points were just plain dumb.

  • I really liked this movie. But then again, I'm a sucker for a western. I agree that the alien part of the movie was kind of crap, but the cowboy aspect was really well done IMO. Craig and Ford were very believable in their roles, but for some reason I think Craig was having trouble doing a western accent. It also caught the "Iron Man 2 syndrome" where not much happens in the middle.

    Still, I liked it. 3.5/5.

  • The movie was shit. Don't get what people like anymore. He was Dick punching. This movie was the worst summer movie since last air bender

  • I love the way you guys always disagree.

  • I completely agree with you Harloff. I was sitting there enjoying it, but i kept feeling like i wanted so much more, and that it could BE more. The beginning was the best part definitely. Then, as it progressed there were a couple plot holes here and there, and I just didn't feel the gravity of the climax toward the end. Don't get me wrong, there were some parts where I was thinking, "Hey this is pretty cool", but I just felt a bit disappointed by the time it ended. Just my opinion.

  • DICK PUNCH!!!!!! What was up with that?

  • Oblivion. 1+2

    Nuf said.

  • I went to see cowboys and aliens and that is what I got so I am not complaining but only one blogger/reviewer gave recognition to David O'Hara who rocks! Intense, menacing and real frontier baddie in under 5 minutes of screen time.

  • I totally agree about the way aliens are looking nowadays. It's gettin' old.

  • I want to see an alien movie where the aliens are other humans from a twin earth or another planet.

  • that picture of you guys at :11 seconds in always makes me laugh! Can't wait to see this movie, people just need to have fun with this one and not try to pick it a part : P

  • I'd see Dolphins and Aliens

  • The long stare; that's what all cowboy movies are essentially about. the long stare, and then build a movie around it. you had eight screenplay writers and this is what they did? how could you have a brilliant first five minutes and then, a. favereau, stick with modern tech, westerns require more grace than hip hp. more love than lust, more kiss than peck on the cheek. I'm just disappointed. I loved the concept, but Favereau and Spielberg got caught up in the block buster fever.

  • There are movies that are over the top (Which some I do enjoy), and there are movies that are underwhelming, this movie was just right

  • you asked me to tell u if its the alien movie i was waitng for..... it wasnt :( It was okay but no perfect

  • redskins baby!

  • I saw the movie. I enjoyed it for what it was. :) It had some strange twists, but what the heck; I think most guys were too busy jacking off to Olivia Wilde to care.

    I agree that it needed a bit more sci-fi. But ah well. What can you do, right? I enjoyed seeing Harrison Ford finally acting again as well.

  • Nice review guys. If you like westerns, check out our channel.

  • Nice review. I'm still betting that this is inns be my favorite movie of the summer, though

    btw, I swear I saw Mark in a "show me the car fax" commercial. But he didnt has a hat on so it was hard to tell.

  • Definitely not seeing this. Looks like a ridiculous bore fest

  • since you guys love harrison ford, you should watch this its hilarious

    watch?v=sWTtMdXAazs&feature=to­pvideos_comedy

  • i'll probably see it at a matinee in the theater. looks really fun and has daniel craig who is one of my favorite actors today.

  • What's that? Pipboys? E.T. & Predator?  Gary Busey is in this movie... Thats what I saw

  • schmoes -- i have a TOTALLY different view about the movie... how did this happen?

  • @MaximumHuge I don't know Max, did you love it? If so, glad you dug it!

  • @schmoesknow wow, you are good at responding- thanks for that!

  • I agree, I wanted more story; but full points for the other stuff... I dug the aliens, I thought they were better aliens than we've seen lately. I could never dislike either of you guys - great review!

  • wow quite the difference in reviews....jeremy jahns says its great movie thats alittle low on action and you dont have the turn off your brain to enjoy....stuckman says its action packed. Schmoes say its below par and the aliens are shit, also that u shoud turn of your brain to watch. Well im still gonna see it anyways and hopefully injoy it..(tho saddly i have ta wait till it comes out here...but hey..we just got captain america so i've watch that today ^^)

    ~peace~

  • @xRagma Hey thanks for the insightful comment about the movie, unfortunately we don't think insults belong on the forum. Feel free to disagree and comment but insults don't fly. Thanks man

  • @schmoesknow cant take criticism?

  • @xRagma On points about the movie or not agreeing with review? Sure. But insults, that isn't criticism, it is just an insult

  • Recently it's been 3 and 3.8_ haha.

    I was never really fond of the concept. For some reason I can't think of cowboys and aliens together. It's almost like alien v predator: two franchises. Keep them separate. They were good on their own so leave them alone.

    and Kristian did the aliens in District 9 bother you voice wise?

  • @filmfantic51 I guess if it started out mindless I would have understood but it is set up so great in the beginning. They set up mystery and then the payoffs were just a letdown to me but it was fine for what it was I guess

  • Think if Olivia Wilde was the Mom in Back To The Future, Marty McFly would of gone all the way LOL Great review dudes!

  • just seen this dude on a carfax commercial

  • @CoreyBrownReviews Makes sense

  • Mark, good Harrison Ford impression. Kristian, good aliens impression. The G.I joke was the funniest of this review. I'll see this tomorrow or Saturday with my Dad.

  • @TyJensenable Thanks Ty!

  • harrison ford was pretty good in firewall, with paul bettany

  • @SpiderFan3 I think he lost me before that one

  • i dont think i feel up to watching a movie since my grandparent recently passed away

    but if i would see this in the future this looks, like you guys said more of a western featuring aliens, and aliens seem all the rage now sooooooo yep

  • @rezkat03 Man, sorry to hear that, feel awful for you guys who are losing family members. Hope you feel better man.

  • @schmoesknow thank you

  • I refuse to see this movie in theatres becaue it has Noah Ring from "The Last Airbender" in it. It's been a year since that movie came out and it was the first review I watched from you guys, I never stopped watching either.

  • @k1988smith I'll tell you what, the kid wasn't that bad in this

  • Hey guys! I always enjoy your stuff. Are you gonna review the Battleship trailer? All this alien talk reminded me of it.

  • @FuschiaLux Thanks Fushchia! Yeah I think we will.

  • @FarCry21 He is good in this one

  • think the worst aliens ever were in Signs. Jeez, they were just 7 foot tall, green, bald human beings. They definitly need to make more original looking aliens. Also, totally random question but have you guys checked out The Inside Experience at all? I think it's an incredibly unique and really fun experiment that Hollywood needs to consider in the future. Eiether one of you played it yet?

  • @magicman205 Haven't actually, what is it?

  • Comment removed

  • i'm looking forward to this movie as a break from the super hero movies. not that i'm expecting alot from a movie that tells me the story in it's title

  • @jaywd3090 You will have fun with it

  • Can you guys review some more classics please.

  • @TheMrTJWhite We will once the summer season dies down. We are seeing 4 movies next week.

  • @schmoesknow ok I understand, I was watching your classic videos, and I couldnt help watching Die Hard after it. Ho-Ho-Ho

  • Ahhh, Chimp's point system is extremely adorable. I MIGHT see it.

  • @prumott08 If you do, come back and tell us if you enjoyed it!

  • I've notice alot of people are thinking that Jon Favreau was just like "Hey let's throw Cowboys and Aliens together and make a movie!" when really this movie is based on a graphic novel with the same name.

  • @finalfuryan Yeah I knew it was a graphic novel, never read it though

  • does anyone know if Noah ringer (the bald kid from last airbender) did a good job in this movie or is he a shit actor...?

  • @eripr3 He was actually pretty good

  • At least the Movies not called "Vampires and Hormones"

  • @FaidleyEthan This is true.

  • I've been looking forward to this movie all summer, purely because the premise is so out of left field.

  • @thehitman86 Yeah, seeing an original movie was refreshing

  • I hope you guys review Attack The Block! It has a limited opening this weekend. It has original, puppet aliens to go along with a great story and characters. Its my favorite movie of this year.

  • Harrison Ford was in Firewall a couple years back.

  • @brandonlamchops Yeah that movie was pretty forgettable for me anyway.

  • It's a shame someone as talented as Daniel Craig has to stoop down to this level. Sad....

    P.S. Olivia Wilde.......... not hot. She was in Tron: Legacy, but sadly not in real life.

    D.A. of Schmoeville

  • @grindhouse141 Gonna have to disagree here Mr. Mayor. You are a controversial mayor indeed

  • This looks alright, but I never really bought into the hype.

    I'll stick with Brisco County jr!

  • @mrebyers Great show!

  • I look forward to this movie, I will see it on August 10, the day it's released here in Iceland.

  • @BlazeTheMovieFan Ah, gotcha, always thought you were in Russia

  • that kind of sucks that you have to actually turn your brain off to watch a movie nowadays. aka Transformers.

  • @Pygmahia5 Yeah I mean it is 1,000 times better than Transformers

  • The aliens in District 9 speak their own language

  • @cashmoneyyard Yeah and they seem like another race of being, you connect to them, not wild CGI beasts

  • Does the movie explain why the aliens are there or are we left in the dark?

  • @VanishedDecoy Yes but I wasn't thrilled with explination

  • 3:46 maybe caz ure married with children and all grown up-

    i think im gonna like this movie cant wait

  • @aassaa99 Hope you like it!

  • Harloff, I work in a Retirement home, your not welcome here! lol, the title alone makes it a make -or -break movie, either its the stupidest title you ever heard, or its like, "shit!" thats sounds cool, im for the latter, i want to see it!. Besides, at least its not a freakin reboot! lol, great review schmoes. Back to schmoeville now.

  • @joequin50111 I'm sure we will find you at the nearest bar in schmoeville joe, enjoy!

  • 2:27 i understand and agree with everything the guy on the left says

    HF hasn't really "acted" for years only in effing crappy movies that puts u to sleep

  • @aassaa99 Yeah he just seems like he has been phoning it in the last few years, glad to see him show up in this one.

  • this is what a summer blockbuster is, solid story, lots of fun

    its not all cgi and shit story like transformers 3 and recent blockbuster movies

  • @JCorreia96 I agree with everything you said except the solid story part, I think it had a lot of holes after an amazing set up in the first act

  • @schmoesknow i see...thanks for the response! keep up the awesome reviews

  • so long, and thanks for all the fish

  • @WiseAnt peace

  • DALLAS SUCKS!!!!!!!! but cowboys are just cool. :) clint eastwood shoulda been in this.

  • @SuperCrapper12 A young Eastwood in this, interesting

  • Best Alien film iv seen lately has been Distcit 9

  • @Adastra14 I agree 100 percent

  • @schmoesknow oh yeah mentos thumbed by the schmoes :D cheers haha.

  • @nealmourad10 I never knew that thanks for telling me was gonna go on July lol

  • Yes I am very much looking forward to this movie a lot but considering I'm in London and it doesn't come out until August 17th 2011!

  • Ha, pretty sure decimals and fractions existed in the olden days too Mark!

  • @librakitten16 Yes but not used nearly as much

  • why was the name of this movie changed from 'Cowboys Vrs. Aliens' to 'Cowboys And Aliens'? it's a nitpick i know, but it bothers me.

  • @Deathmark13 It was right? Thoughtso. I am not sure why it was changed, maybe too B movie?

  • I'm going to see it tomarrow night. I understand why you guys gave it what you did. But I'm going with the chimp. I think when I see it I'll probably give it 4 out of 5 stars. But I'll tell you guys what I think when I see it. An thanks for the reviews. Keep doing what you are doing.

  • @zhayes01 Well after you see it, come on back and let us know

  • what do you guys think the best movie of the year or summer is

  • @ZombieMasterFox For me, Kristian, XMen First Class

  • oh and yeah.. I am gonna see this one in theaters.. the first movie since avatar

  • @alittleolder Wow, this is the one that gets you back out, interesting

  • The title of the movie is creative.

  • @zaneoninternet It's a fun title

  • @schmoesknow well it is spot on.

  • common.. Indy 4 was ok... whatever Spielberg would've done you guys wouldn't have liked it because the expectations were too high

  • @alittleolder HAve to disagree man, we actually just talked about this on Carolla. It was WAY too silly, depended too much on CGI, it was too over the top, fridges blowing up, swinging with monkeys in trees. It lost sight with what Indy was

  • @ToyStoryStarWarsFan Appreciate that ToyStory!

  • i think it was chris stuckman that really loved this movie

  • @enohpoxasotla100 Yeah Chris enjoyed it a lot

  • @dsclubhouse1 Thanks DS, yeah Ellis ranking higher, what has the world become?

  • @FarCry21 This is MUCH better than the Mummy

  • Your alien impression is perfect lol

  • @TheAquaticCat Thank you, I've been training at Juilliard.

  • Every review I compare mark's rating to xmen first class, I'm struggling to grasp the fact that he's rating above the best film of the summer.

  • @MackenzieStevens He doesn't feel the same way about Xmen First Class as you and I do Mackenzie

  • Nothing against aliens and nothing against westerns, but mixing the two together just reaks of a lack of creative effort... :/ Westerns don't need aliens to make them great, they can be amazing on there own, and I agree with Kristian on the alien bit; there's a fine line between getting it 'right' and getting it 'wrong' when it comes to aliens, and in recent years Hollywood hasn't hit the mark...

  • @LoneSola I want a good alien film!

  • I'm very excited for this movie, but I'm expecting nothing but mindless violence between cowboys and aliens. If there's ANY story to it at all I'll be impressed

  • @someprsn14 If you go in with that mindset, you will love it

  • I'm sorry but in all honesty when I first seen the trailer I was like "Well we officially ran out of ideas. Definitely" a pass I need a break from alien movies at least 2 or 3 years. This movie is going to hit Syfy so fast...

  • @Akuma2unlimited Most likely

  • @Akuma2unlimited That's not the movie that made me see that we've ran out of ideas. At least with this one, there's potential.

    Film Adaptation of Angry Birds.

    Live Action Movie of Captain Planet.

    I have said enough.

  • @IDaCashman I think you're just pulling my leg lol.

  • @Akuma2unlimited I wish.

  • @IDaCashman Then you my friend is a movie troll.

  • @Akuma2unlimited There might have been a misunderstanding somewhere along the line...

  • eh, the title alone kinda turned me off....I'll wait for rental

  • @piratesquirtmomo Fair enough

  • @shmoesknow Thank you for the kindness. My father and I are big on the westerns and Sci fi's so we will check it out in time. We were a bit disappointed in Captain America though.

  • Good review as always. Got a say when I saw the first trailer months ago it was just enough to get me real excited for this film. Unfortunately over the summer Ive seen at least another 4 different trailers each showing more and more footage and now i feel like ive seen the whole movie. So less looking forward and Kristian's got me worried but i'll be seeing it eventually cause I love movies

  • Seeing it Friday, it's a shame causative anticipated this for over a year

  • @ozzstriker101 Hey you may love it more than me, I was just let down, it is a good film

  • I'll watch District 9 on Netflix... Been meaning to see that.

  • @Boobalopbop Loved that movie!

  • Great review guys, i'm really looking forward for this movie.

    I'd love to give you my opinion but you'll have to wait 3 weeks until it comes out in Australia...

  • @QwertyGamingChannel We will be here!

  • @schmoesknow Haha, well i'm back and I have to say, I really enjoyed this movie! Sure it was silly but the action and special effects were great! So I thought this was a good, fun action movie. 3.5/5 Schmoes!

  • I always look forward to both of your ratings. haha the decimals always make me laugh.

  • @FilmRecall It is a staple

  • Shut my brain off.... Dislike doing that, but otherwise very much looking forward to watching Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford work together on screen.

  • @Moonburst12 That is worth price of admission

  • makes me think of war of the worlds please tell me it was better than that

  • @deafandstupid6 It was better than that for sure

  • I agree with Kristian. Sorry, Hollywood, but, District 9 and Avatar has spoiled us (a good thing) we need more than mindless CGI clusters on screen.

  • @IrreveRANT100 Amen

  • (My horrible British accent ===> "Oye u BLooDY schmoes successfully give us a great review." Thank u!!!!

  • @MateoHDmusic Thank you govna!

  • Why cant aliens talk like ET did? Seriously hollywood look at the alien legend. haha. Dissaponted when you said they didnt show the aliens do anything that would of been much better

  • @Christian4life0 They are just like wild beasts who happen to fly spaceships

  • Loved the review! RT has it at 50%but I never trust RT, But there is an exception for the smurfs which is at 0%. The first time RT has a reasonable score. :)

  • @InsaneBurger RT has jumped shark

  • @schmoesknow You got that right

  • Of course the Aliens lost. They went up against COWBOYS! Seeing it Friday. As far as Aliens on film, maybe going back to the days of Predator-like aliens were more menacing than the tentacle B.S. Hollyweird seems to be obsessed over nowadays. Remember the feeling you got the first time you saw Predator? Awesome Sauce!!

    By the way NFL's back on track Football season 'round the corner - GO COWBOYS!!!

  • @DeVstatrOmga Oh man, the dreaded Cowboys!

  • You know, lately Chimp has been using 8s a lot in his ratings of movies. Not a bad thing, just peculiar.
