Anna Smith
What started as 'True Grit'-meets-'War of the Worlds' ends up closer to - whisper it - 'Wild Wild West'.
Anthony Lane
Takes itself much too seriously, with acts of brutality outnumbering the gags.
Josh Levin
It's fun to think about what Cowboys & Aliens might have been if any creativity had crept past the title page.
David Edelstein
Cowboys & Aliens is an agreeable time-killer, but I'll bet a couple of clever kids could make a livelier movie with a Woody puppet and a Predator doll.
Christopher Orr
[A] phenomenally successful two-man war against narrative clarity and continuity.
Laremy Legel
A film that entertains, even if it doesn't live up to the full-on madness potential the title portended.

It's just big silly fun, the kind you're supposed to have at a summer movie with a ridiculous title.
User reviews
Good premise, disappointing execution I wanted to like this movie, but pacing was slow, acting was uninspired and storyline was boring. What a shame.
Extraordinarily Forgettable, which I find very sad I was going to write a review of this movie, but for the life of me I can't really remember what happened. I watched it, and I remember being entertained for the fist bit but I really can't even remember how it ended, any of the plot mechanisms or any actors other than Ford and Craig. I was really excited to love this movie, cowboys AND aliens? Holy crap! It should be seared into my mind for eternity. Alas, I actually had to watch the trailer to remember anything about it. This movie is so inexplicably forgettable that I'll go ahead and suggest that some psychiatrists analyze it somehow, determine wth they did wrong to expunge this film from the watcher's memory as soon as they've finished watching it, remove those bits and then re-release the movie under the title: Cowboys and Aliens 2 - Shootier and Awesomer. Nobody would know it was the same movie with the brain sponge bits removed - I promise.
Loved it. Its from a graphic novel and expected to be implausible. The fact that it takes itself seriously without being cheesy makes for a fun ride. The Daniel Craig character as more of an anti-hero is very cool. This movie not only looks great, but the sound effects are fantastic. I love when the sub woofer gets a workout. The title alone won me and I must say, "its a must see".
Cool movie This is a fun movie to watch, lots of action and suspense. If you watch it with a "willful suspension of disbelief" it will be enjoyable.
Once is enough Take some western movie cliche characters and put them in a cliche monster movie that has plot depth to rival "Beginning of the End" or Steve McQueen's "The Blob". The acting is quite good by several of the actors, adding a full star to the rating. The story has plenty of opportunity for improvement in C&A2, and judging by the overwhelming number of viewers who give it 5 stars, the sequel will come.
Solid Movie! I wish I would have seen this in the theatres. This is one of the best alien action & adventure movies in a long time! Better than Independence Day in my books! Craig and Ford are great!
Lost interest This started off fun, but went downhill quick. Really wanted to enjoy this.
Not good enough... This movie could've been so much better. Great special effects, the poor narrative of the script makes the film less appealing, by the end of the film, you won't be able say anything. It was just one more movie that didn't work!
Awesome!!! I would definately get this movie!! Well worth the money!!! No question! Much better than I thought it was going to be!! Great performances by all!! Special effects were outstanding, even though they may have stolen a few ideas here and there!! The ending was magnificent!!
Entertaining Not as bad as you might think it would be; but, also, not as good as I had hoped it would be.
Are you kidding me? I saw the overall rating and HAD to weigh in, though I've never done this before. I hope I can save some people from parting with their money. The plot is crazy --OK no surprise there given title-- but really, guys with six shooters take on an advanced alien race? And the goofy fire resurrection scene! PALEASE! The only reason we didn't walk out of the theatre was because my wife kept saying it HAD to get better. It didn't. p.s. How do you get a negative in front of the star?
One of the best Really don't know what some of you that Didn't like it expected but what I saw was exactly what it was supposed to be. Lots of action, adventure and a little sex tossed if for fun. Gets a five in my book!
Costs to much 5 bucks to rent a movie on my phone/tablet? I would consider buying it for that price but I can rent a blue ray for 2 bucks and DVD for 1 from red box. Why does Google think their rentals are worth 4 'qrcuuuuul
Movie wouldnt play on my tablet. I seen the previews so i cant say it could have been a bad movie. It just wouldnt play no matter what codec i downloaded or anything, wifi on too!
very entertaining independence day meets true grit!!! excellent movie
Just rent it and enjoy Can't believe I loved it! Crazy movie that is equal to, if not better, than most alien films today. Go figure.
