Why did "Jonah Hex" fail at the box office?
It really wasn't as bad as everyone says. I myself enjoyed the movie
though there were things that I didn't like and have made them clear enough.
The origin was all wrong , Jeb Turnball's death was all wrong, you really didn't get that revenge thing at all between Jonah and Turnball.
The main reason why the movie didn't do well is poor promotion by WB. They dropped the ball and the fact they went up against "Toy Story 3."
The second biggest reason is they stuck with William Farmer's story line.The crank guys Neveldine and Taylor the idiots couldn't come up with a story all their own. Just thank the film Gods they didn't use the Frakken zombies or made Jonah a Union spy. Gen. Forrest became Turnball who never served in the Confederate army.
Does Jonah Hex deserve a re-do? HELL YES he does! This time have someone with writing skills script it, and stick a lot closer to the true origin of Jonah Hex. My wish is that they get David Goyer to write it, but that is only a dream. I know they can't go wrong with Jimmy Palmiottio and Justin Grey.
Hell, 'NO Way Back' could be the next Jonah Hex fil--if not live action, then an animated movie!!
