Cowboys vs Dinosaurs (2015) Reviews

  There are two writers for the script of this movie. Each has produced volumes. If you combined their entire life's work, wadded it into a ball, and held it up, God would come down from Mount Jeebus to destroy it. They apparently took the script from Cowboys & Aliens (itself pretty uninspired), changed a few words, and presto. Take away the 160 million dollar budget and good actors and there you have it; Cowboys vs Dinosaurs. There is nothing here. It's like everyone involved said "mail me my check, I'm phoning this one in." Even for SyFy, this really sucked. No amount of effort appears to have been applied at all. If they weren't making money doing this, I'm sure it would stop, but it never does. Don't ask me how they do it. In the realm of SyFy movies, this one falls between Mega-(insert name here) and Shark-(include anything you want here). It's a total waste of time. And this from a guy who gave Robocroc a 6. The acting, the CGI, the production values, all have been thrown out the window. I don't know what happened here, but obviously something did. If you are stuck for something to watch, and only this is on, clean the garage instead. You know it needs it anyway, and your time will have been better spent.

  As far as these low budget sub SyFy films go, this one isn't too bad. The CGI isn't great, I don't think Amblin/Legendary Entertainment will be losing sleep over this as competition for the Jurassic Park franchise; yet the film is good fun if not taken too seriously (and if you take a film called Cowboys vs Dinosaurs' seriously then you deserve a poke in the eye with a blunt stick. There are worse ways to pass an hour or so if you can tolerate the dreadful dialogue, ludicrous plot and acting. Most of the actresses seem to have come straight off the 'casting couch' as I seriously doubt they got in the film for their acting abilities. I don't think there will be too many sequels thankfully.

• Predictably corny with awkwardly attractive ladies, better to just embrace the corny nature

  Eric Roberts have been involved in so many of these B-movies this year alone and with title such as Cowboys vs Dinosaurs, you would know what to expect here. In that regard the movie delivers, it's a series of cheesy dialogues and terrible effects conveyed by entirely uncomfortable cast. This movie is for when you have exhausted every other movie option and at best might just find some comedy. There are cowboys, and then they meet with dinosaurs. If that sounds rather uninformative, it's because narrative offers little explanation. In fact, most of the times the focus is geared towards attractive ladies that have little to no credible acting skill. To put it mildly, they are most likely recruited from adult entertainment industry. One doesn't accidentally stumble on Cowboys vs Dinosaurs, you should know the inherent shady production, might just as well embrace it.

• Wonderfully Awful!

  The title alone suggests that this movie is going to be ridiculous and trust me it does not disappoint. The acting? Bad. Special effects? Some of the worst I've ever seen. Plot? It's there but as bad as everything else. All these are ingredients for a horrible movie but a horrible movie that one with a sense of humor should certainly get a kick out of. I cracked up watching this movie especially the ridiculous ending. I shouldn't have to tell you to go into watching this kind of movie knowing it's bad or to watch this with a sense of humor, you should know this by the title alone. Anyone expecting something like Jurassic Park is barking up the wrong tree here. Enjoy this movie, it's wonderfully awful! Hope you like this like I did!

  What is there to say when you're presented with a film titled Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs? The budget was probably a total of $12, probably to pay for the washed up Batman mafia guy's Canadian Tuxedo. A lot of the scenery shots seem as if they were shamelessly stolen from a Planet Earth episode. They couldn't even afford to use blanks with their damn guns. However, as terrible as the dinosaur animations are, they at least look okay for such a hatchet-job film. Also, why in the hell is the cast comprised solely of 20 yr old women and 50 yr old dudes? If you want my honest opinion, this was clearly a somewhat elaborate ruse to dodge some legal issues for a sleazy porno in Montana. But hey, if you really have nothing to do on a lazy Sunday, I say go ahead and give it a watch. Leave your brain at the door and It'll give you some laughs.
