When I first heard of the existence of a Jonah Hex movie, adapted from the DC comics character, my initial reaction was “Why?” Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the character; it just seems a little strange to me that out of the the entire pantheon of DC comics characters to choose from, a D-list unknown like Jonah Freakin' Hex got pushed through to the big screen. But we haven't even got a script for a Wonder Woman movie. Again, no ill will to Jonah, but the very notion of his movie seems unnecessary.
In an almost blissfully self-aware turn of events, unnecessary seems to be the name of the game in the film itself.
